海邊顯現

21 後來,耶穌在提比哩亞海邊又向門徒顯現。當時的情形是這樣的: 西門·彼得、綽號「雙胞胎」的多馬、加利利的迦拿人拿但業、西庇太的兩個兒子以及其他兩個門徒都在一起。

西門·彼得對他們說:「我要去打魚了!」

眾人說:「我們也跟你去。」於是他們就出去,上了船,但那一夜什麼也沒打到。 天將破曉的時候,耶穌站在岸上,但門徒都不知道是耶穌。

耶穌對他們說:「孩子們,打到魚沒有?」

他們回答說:「沒有!」

耶穌說:「在船的右邊下網就會打到魚。」於是他們照著祂的話把網撒下去,網到的魚多到連網都拉不動。

耶穌所愛的那個門徒對彼得說:「是主!」那時西門·彼得赤著身子,一聽見是主,立刻束上外衣,跳進海裡。 其他門徒離岸不遠,約有一百米,他們隨後用船把那一網魚拖到岸邊。 他們上岸後,看見有一堆炭火,上面有魚和餅。

10 耶穌說:「拿幾條剛打的魚來。」 11 西門·彼得就上船把網拉上岸。網裡一共有一百五十三條大魚!雖然魚這麼多,網卻沒有破。

12 耶穌又說:「你們來吃早餐吧!」沒有一個門徒敢問祂是誰,他們都知道祂是主。 13 耶穌就過來把餅和魚分給他們。

14 這是耶穌從死裡復活後第三次向門徒顯現。

耶穌和彼得

15 吃過早餐,耶穌對西門·彼得說:「約翰的兒子西門,你比這些人更愛我嗎?[a]

彼得說:「主啊!是的,你知道我愛你。」

耶穌對他說:「你要餵養我的小羊。」

16 耶穌第二次問:「約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」

彼得說:「主啊!是的,你知道我愛你。」

耶穌說:「你要牧養我的羊。」

17 耶穌第三次問:「約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」

彼得因為耶穌一連三次這樣問他,就難過起來,於是對耶穌說:「主啊!你是無所不知的,你知道我愛你。」

耶穌說:「你要餵養我的羊。 18 我實實在在地告訴你,你年輕力壯的時候,自己穿上衣服,想去哪裡就去哪裡。但到你年老的時候,你將伸出手來,別人要把你綁起來帶你到你不願意去的地方。」 19 這話是暗示彼得將要怎樣死來使上帝得榮耀。之後,耶穌又對他說:「你跟從我吧!」

20 彼得轉身看見耶穌所愛的那個門徒跟在後面,就是吃最後的晚餐時靠在耶穌身邊問「主啊!是誰要出賣你?」的那個門徒。 21 彼得問耶穌:「主啊!他將來會怎樣呢?」

22 耶穌說:「如果我要他活到我再來,與你有什麼關係?你只管跟從我吧!」

23 於是在信徒中間就傳說那個門徒不會死。其實耶穌並沒有說他不會死,只是說:「如果我要他活到我再來,與你有什麼關係?」

24 為這些事做見證、記錄這些事的就是那個門徒,我們都知道他的見證是真實的。 25 耶穌還做了許多其他的事,如果都寫成書,我想整個世界也容納不下。

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

21 After this Jesus (A)revealed himself (B)again to the disciples by (C)the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, (D)Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of (E)Cana in Galilee, (F)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but (G)that night they caught nothing.

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (H)did not know that it was Jesus. (I)Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” (J)He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. That disciple (K)whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, (L)he put on his outer garment, for he was (M)stripped for work, and (N)threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards[a] off.

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, (O)“Come and (P)have breakfast.” Now (Q)none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and (R)took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 (S)This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus and Peter

15 When they had (T)finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, (U)“Simon, (V)son of John, (W)do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed (X)my lambs.” 16 He said to him 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, (Y)“Tend (Z)my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him (AA)the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, (AB)you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed (AC)my sheep. 18 (AD)Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, (AE)you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show (AF)by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, (AG)“Follow me.”

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

20 Peter turned and saw (AH)the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, (AI)the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain (AJ)until (AK)I come, what is that to you? (AL)You follow me!” 23 So the saying spread abroad among (AM)the brothers[b] that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple (AN)who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and (AO)we know (AP)that his testimony is true.

25 Now (AQ)there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that (AR)the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Breakfast by the Sea

21 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the (A)Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: Simon Peter, (B)Thomas called the Twin, (C)Nathanael of (D)Cana in Galilee, (E)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”

They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and [a]immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (F)did not know that it was Jesus. Then (G)Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

And He said to them, (H)“Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some. So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

Therefore (I)that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, (J)“Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

14 This is now (K)the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

Jesus Restores Peter

15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [b]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [c]love You.”

He said to him, (L)“Feed My lambs.”

16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of [d]Jonah, do you love Me?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [e]love You.”

(M)He said to him, “Tend My (N)sheep.”

17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of [f]Jonah, do you [g]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

And he said to Him, “Lord, (O)You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 (P)Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” 19 This He spoke, signifying (Q)by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, (R)“Follow Me.”

The Beloved Disciple and His Book

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple (S)whom Jesus loved following, (T)who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?”

22 Jesus said to him, “If I [h]will that he remain (U)till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”

23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple who (V)testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

25 (W)And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, (X)I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

Jesús se aparece a siete de sus discípulos

21 Poco tiempo después, Jesús se apareció a los discípulos a la orilla del lago de Tiberias. Esto fue lo que sucedió: Estaban juntos Simón Pedro, Tomás el Gemelo, Natanael, que era del pueblo de Caná de Galilea, Santiago y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, y otros dos discípulos de Jesús. Pedro les dijo:

—Voy a pescar.

—Nosotros vamos contigo —dijeron ellos.

Todos subieron a una barca y se fueron a pescar. Pero esa noche no pudieron pescar nada. En la madrugada, Jesús estaba de pie a la orilla del lago, pero los discípulos no sabían que era él. Jesús les preguntó:

—Amigos, ¿pescaron algo?

—No —respondieron ellos.

Jesús les dijo:

—Echen la red por el lado derecho de la barca, y pescarán algo.

Los discípulos obedecieron, y después no podían sacar la red del agua, pues eran muchos los pescados.

Entonces el discípulo favorito de Jesús le dijo a Pedro: «¡Es el Señor Jesús!»

Cuando Simón Pedro oyó que se trataba del Señor, se puso la ropa que se había quitado para trabajar, y se tiró al agua. Los otros discípulos llegaron a la orilla en la barca, arrastrando la red llena de pescados, pues estaban como a cien metros de la playa.

Cuando llegaron a tierra firme, vieron una fogata, con un pescado encima, y pan. 10 Jesús les dijo: «Traigan algunos de los pescados que acaban de sacar.»

11 Simón Pedro subió a la barca y arrastró la red hasta la playa. Estaba repleta, pues tenía ciento cincuenta y tres pescados grandes. A pesar de tantos pescados, la red no se rompió.

12 Jesús les dijo: «Vengan a desayunar».

Ninguno de los discípulos se atrevía a preguntarle quién era; ¡bien sabían que era el Señor Jesús! 13 Jesús se acercó, tomó el pan y se lo dio a ellos, y también les dio el pescado.

14 Ésa era la tercera vez que Jesús se aparecía a sus discípulos después de haber resucitado.

Jesús y Pedro

15 Cuando terminaron de desayunar, Jesús le preguntó a Pedro:

—Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas más que éstos?

Él le respondió:

—Sí, Señor. Tú sabes que te quiero.

Jesús le dijo:

—Entonces cuida de mis seguidores, pues son como corderos.

16 Jesús volvió a preguntarle:

—Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas?

Pedro le contestó:

—Sí, Señor. Tú sabes que te quiero.

Jesús le dijo:

—Entonces cuida de mis seguidores, pues son como ovejas.

17 Por tercera vez le dijo:

—Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me quieres?

Pedro se puso muy triste de que tres veces le había preguntado si lo quería. Entonces le contestó:

—Señor, tú lo sabes todo; tú sabes que te quiero.

Jesús le dijo:

—Cuida de mis ovejas. 18 Cuando eras joven, te vestías e ibas a donde querías. Pero te aseguro que, cuando seas viejo, extenderás los brazos y otra persona te vestirá, y te llevará a donde no quieras ir.

19 Jesús se refería a cómo iba a morir Pedro, y cómo de esa manera iba a honrar a Dios.

Después le dijo a Pedro:

—Sígueme.

Jesús y el discípulo favorito

20 El discípulo preferido de Jesús estaba siguiendo a Jesús y a Pedro. Ese discípulo era el mismo que había estado cerca de Jesús en la cena de la Pascua, antes de que Jesús fuera clavado en la cruz, y era también el que le había preguntado a Jesús quién lo iba a traicionar. 21 Cuando Pedro lo vio, le preguntó a Jesús:

—Señor, ¿qué va a pasar con éste?

22 Jesús le contestó:

—Si yo quiero que él viva hasta que yo regrese, ¿qué te importa a ti? Tú sígueme.

23 Por eso, entre los seguidores de Jesús corrió el rumor de que este discípulo no iba a morir. Pero eso no fue lo que dijo Jesús. Lo que dijo fue: «Si quiero que él viva hasta que yo regrese, ¿qué te importa a ti?»

24 Éste es el mismo discípulo que ha dicho todas estas cosas. Él las escribió, y sabemos que lo que dice es verdad.

25 Jesús hizo muchas otras cosas, tantas que, si se escribiera cada una de ellas, creo que no cabrían en el mundo todos los libros que serían escritos.
