João 21
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
21 Depois disso, manifestou-se Jesus outra vez aos discípulos, junto ao mar de Tiberíades; e manifestou-se assim: 2 estavam juntos Simão Pedro, e Tomé, chamado Dídimo, e Natanael, que era de Caná da Galileia, e os filhos de Zebedeu, e outros dois dos seus discípulos. 3 Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Disseram-lhe eles: Também nós vamos contigo. Foram, e subiram logo para o barco, e naquela noite nada apanharam.
4 E, sendo já manhã, Jesus se apresentou na praia, mas os discípulos não conheceram que era Jesus. 5 Disse-lhes, pois, Jesus: Filhos, tendes alguma coisa de comer? Responderam-lhe: Não. 6 E ele lhes disse: Lançai a rede à direita do barco e achareis. Lançaram-na, pois, e já não a podiam tirar, pela multidão dos peixes. 7 Então, aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: É o Senhor. E, quando Simão Pedro ouviu que era o Senhor, cingiu-se com a túnica (porque estava nu) e lançou-se ao mar. 8 E os outros discípulos foram com o barco (porque não estavam distantes da terra senão quase duzentos côvados), levando a rede cheia de peixes.
9 Logo que saltaram em terra, viram ali brasas, e um peixe posto em cima, e pão. 10 Disse-lhes Jesus: Trazei dos peixes que agora apanhastes. 11 Simão Pedro subiu e puxou a rede para terra, cheia de cento e cinquenta e três grandes peixes; e, sendo tantos, não se rompeu a rede. 12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, jantai. E nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? Porque sabiam que era o Senhor. 13 Chegou, pois, Jesus, e tomou o pão, e deu-lho, e, semelhantemente, o peixe. 14 E já era a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos seus discípulos depois de ter ressuscitado dos mortos.
15 E, depois de terem jantado, disse Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me mais do que estes? E ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeiros. 16 Tornou a dizer-lhe segunda vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Disse-lhe: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas. 17 Disse-lhe terceira vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Simão entristeceu-se por lhe ter dito terceira vez: Amas-me? E disse-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes tudo; tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas. 18 Na verdade, na verdade te digo que, quando eras mais moço, te cingias a ti mesmo e andavas por onde querias: mas, quando já fores velho, estenderás as mãos, e outro te cingirá e te levará para onde tu não queiras. 19 E disse isso significando com que morte havia ele de glorificar a Deus. E, dito isso, disse-lhe: Segue-me. 20 E Pedro, voltando-se, viu que o seguia aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava, e que na ceia se recostara também sobre o seu peito, e que dissera: Senhor, quem é que te há de trair? 21 Vendo Pedro a este, disse a Jesus: Senhor, e deste que será? 22 Disse-lhe Jesus: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti? Segue-me tu. 23 Divulgou-se, pois, entre os irmãos o dito de que aquele discípulo não havia de morrer. Jesus, porém, não lhe disse que não morreria, mas: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti?
24 Este é o discípulo que testifica dessas coisas e as escreveu; e sabemos que o seu testemunho é verdadeiro.
25 Há, porém, ainda muitas outras coisas que Jesus fez; e, se cada uma das quais fosse escrita, cuido que nem ainda o mundo todo poderia conter os livros que se escrevessem. Amém!
John 21
Amplified Bible
Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee
21 After this Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias (Galilee). And He did it in this way: 2 Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus (the twin), and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, as well as [John and James] the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said, “And we are coming with you.” So they went out and got into the boat; and [a]that night they caught nothing.
4 As morning was breaking, Jesus [came and] stood on the beach; however, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish [to eat along with your bread]?” They answered, “No.” 6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat (starboard) and you will find some.” So they cast [the net], and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great catch of fish. 7 Then that disciple (John) whom Jesus loved (esteemed) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer tunic (for he was stripped for work) and threw himself into the sea [and swam ashore]. 8 But the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
9 So when they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire set up and fish on it cooking, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three [of them]; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus Provides
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew [without any doubt] that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples, after He had risen from the dead.
The Love Motivation
15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these [others do—with total commitment and devotion]?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [b]love You [with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend].” Jesus said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 16 Again He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with total commitment and devotion]?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You [with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend].” Jesus said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with a deep, personal affection for Me, as for a close friend]?” Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you [really] [c]love Me [with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend]?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You [with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend].” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
Our Times Are in His Hand
18 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and walked wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and arms, and someone else will dress you, and carry you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now He said this to indicate the [d]kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after saying this, He said to him, “Follow Me [walk the same path of life that I have walked]!”
20 Peter turned and saw the [e]disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His chest at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?” 21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this [f]man [what is in his future]?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay alive until I come [again], what is that to you? You follow Me!” 23 So this word went out among the brothers that this disciple (John) was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but only, “If I want him to stay alive until I come [again], what is that to you?”
24 This is the same [g]disciple who is testifying to these things and has recorded them; and we know [without any doubt] that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were recorded [h]one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
