John 21
NASB
John 21:1
&
After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested {Himself} in this way.
John 21:2
&
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the {sons} of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
John 21:3
&
Simon Peter *said to them, "I am going fishing." They *said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.
John 21:4
&
But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
John 21:5
&
So Jesus *said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."
John 21:6
&
And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find {a catch.}" So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
John 21:7
&
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped {for work}), and threw himself into the sea.
John 21:8
&
But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net {full} of fish.
John 21:9
&
So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal fire {already} laid and fish placed on it, and bread.
John 21:10
&
Jesus *said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."
John 21:11
&
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
John 21:12
&
Jesus *said to them, "Come {and} have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.
John 21:13
&
Jesus *came and *took the bread and *gave {it} to them, and the fish likewise.
John 21:14
&
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
John 21:15
&
So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, "Simon, {son} of John, do you love Me more than these?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, "Tend My lambs."
John 21:16
&
He *said to him again a second time, "Simon, {son} of John, do you love Me?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, "Shepherd My sheep."
John 21:17
&
He *said to him the third time, "Simon, {son} of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, "Tend My sheep.
John 21:18
&
~"Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to {go.}"
John 21:19
&
Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, "Follow Me!"
John 21:20
&
Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following {them;} the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
John 21:21
&
So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"
John 21:22
&
Jesus *said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what {is that} to you? You follow Me!"
John 21:23
&
Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but {only,} "If I want him to remain until I come, what {is that} to you?"
John 21:24
&
This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
John 21:25
&
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.
