Jeremiah 45-47
New International Version

A Message to Baruch

45 When Baruch(A) son of Neriah(B) wrote on a scroll(C) the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(D) son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 You said, ‘Woe(E) to me! The Lord has added sorrow(F) to my pain;(G) I am worn out with groaning(H) and find no rest.’(I) 4 But the Lord has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot(J) what I have planted,(K) throughout the earth.(L) 5 Should you then seek great(M) things for yourself? Do not seek them.(N) For I will bring disaster(O) on all people,(P) declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape(Q) with your life.’”(R)

A Message About Egypt

46 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations:(S)

2 Concerning Egypt:(T)

This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho(U) king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish(V) on the Euphrates(W) River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(X) son of Josiah king of Judah:

3 “Prepare your shields,(Y) both large and small,
    and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish(Z) your spears,
    put on your armor!(AA)
5 What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee(AB) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror(AC) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
6 “The swift cannot flee(AD)
    nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(AE)
    they stumble and fall.(AF)

7 “Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    like rivers of surging waters?(AG)
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,(AH)
    like rivers of surging waters.
She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;
    I will destroy cities and their people.’(AI)
9 Charge, you horses!
    Drive furiously, you charioteers!(AJ)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush[a](AK) and Put who carry shields,
    men of Lydia(AL) who draw the bow.
10 But that day(AM) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance(AN), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(AO) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(AP)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(AQ)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(AR)

11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(AS)
    Virgin(AT) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing(AU) for you.
12 The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall(AV) down together.”

13 This is the message the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon(AW) to attack Egypt:(AX)

14 “Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol;
    proclaim it also in Memphis(AY) and Tahpanhes:(AZ)
‘Take your positions and get ready,
    for the sword devours(BA) those around you.’
15 Why will your warriors be laid low?
    They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.(BB)
16 They will stumble(BC) repeatedly;
    they will fall(BD) over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back
    to our own people(BE) and our native lands,
    away from the sword of the oppressor.’(BF)
17 There they will exclaim,
    ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise;(BG)
    he has missed his opportunity.(BH)’

18 “As surely as I live,” declares the King,(BI)
    whose name is the Lord Almighty,
“one will come who is like Tabor(BJ) among the mountains,
    like Carmel(BK) by the sea.
19 Pack your belongings for exile,(BL)
    you who live in Egypt,
for Memphis(BM) will be laid waste(BN)
    and lie in ruins without inhabitant.

20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
    but a gadfly is coming
    against her from the north.(BO)
21 The mercenaries(BP) in her ranks
    are like fattened calves.(BQ)
They too will turn and flee(BR) together,
    they will not stand their ground,
for the day(BS) of disaster is coming upon them,
    the time(BT) for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
    as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
    like men who cut down trees.(BU)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
    “dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(BV)
    they cannot be counted.
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
    given into the hands of the people of the north.(BW)”

25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes,(BX) on Pharaoh,(BY) on Egypt and her gods(BZ) and her kings, and on those who rely(CA) on Pharaoh. 26 I will give them into the hands(CB) of those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar king(CC) of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited(CD) as in times past,” declares the Lord.

27 “Do not be afraid,(CE) Jacob(CF) my servant;(CG)
    do not be dismayed, Israel.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
    your descendants from the land of their exile.(CH)
Jacob will again have peace and security,
    and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,”(CI) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(CJ) all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”

A Message About the Philistines

47 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines(CK) before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:(CL)

2 This is what the Lord says:

“See how the waters are rising in the north;(CM)
    they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
    the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
    all who dwell in the land will wail(CN)
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
    at the noise of enemy chariots(CO)
    and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
    their hands will hang limp.(CP)
4 For the day has come
    to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
    who could help Tyre(CQ) and Sidon.(CR)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(CS)
    the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[b](CT)
5 Gaza will shave(CU) her head in mourning;
    Ashkelon(CV) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
    how long will you cut(CW) yourselves?

6 “‘Alas, sword(CX) of the Lord,
    how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
    cease and be still.’(CY)
7 But how can it rest
    when the Lord has commanded it,
when he has ordered it
    to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”(CZ)

Legacy Standard Bible

Word to Baruch

45 This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to (A)Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had (B)written down these words in a book [a]at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the (C)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying: 2 “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel to you, O Baruch: 3 ‘You said, “Ah, woe is me! For Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am (D)weary with my sighing and have found no rest.”’ 4 Thus you are to say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, (E)what I have built I am about to pull down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land.” 5 But as for you, are you (F)seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to (G)bring calamity on all flesh,’ declares Yahweh, ‘but I will (H)give your life to you as spoil in all the places where you may go.’”

Word Against Egypt

46 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet (I)concerning the nations.

2 To (J)Egypt, concerning the military force of (K)Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was by the Euphrates River at (L)Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down in the (M)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

3 “(N)Arrange the shield and large shield,
And draw near for the battle!
4 Harness the horses,
And [b]mount the steeds,
And take your stand with helmets on!
(O)Polish the spears,
Put on the (P)scale-armor!
5 Why have I seen it?
They are shattered;
They are (Q)drawing back,
And their (R)mighty men are crushed
And have fled to refuge,
Without facing back;
[c](S)Terror is on every side!”
Declares Yahweh.
6 Let not the (T)swift man flee,
Nor the mighty man escape;
In the north beside the river Euphrates
They have (U)stumbled and fallen.
7 Who is this that (V)rises like the Nile,
Like the rivers whose waters toss about?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,
Even like the rivers whose waters toss about;
And He has said, “I will (W)rise and cover that land;
I will surely (X)cause the city to perish, as well as its inhabitants.”
9 Go up, you horses, and [d](Y)drive madly, you chariots,
That the mighty men may go forth:
[e]Ethiopia and [f](Z)Put, who seize the shield,
And the [g](AA)Lydians, who seize and bend the bow.
10 Indeed, (AB)that day belongs to Lord Yahweh of hosts,
A day of (AC)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His adversaries;
And the (AD)sword will devour and be satiated
And [h]drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a (AE)sacrifice to Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
11 Go (AF)up to Gilead and obtain balm,
(AG)O virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain have you multiplied [i]remedies;
There is (AH)no healing for you.
12 The nations have heard of your (AI)disgrace,
And the earth is full of your (AJ)outcry;
For one (AK)warrior has stumbled over [j]another,
And both of them have fallen down together.

13 This is the [k]message which Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the (AL)coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to (AM)strike down the land of Egypt:

14 “Declare in Egypt and cause it to be heard in (AN)Migdol;
Cause it to be heard also in Memphis and (AO)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the (AP)sword has devoured those around you.’
15 Why are your (AQ)mighty ones thrown down?
They do not stand because Yahweh has (AR)thrust them down.
16 They have repeatedly (AS)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Rise up! And (AT)let us return
To our own people and land of our birth
Away from the [l](AU)sword of the oppressor.’
17 [m]They called out there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but (AV)a rumbling;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’
18 As I live,” declares the (AW)King
Whose name is Yahweh of hosts,
“Surely one shall come who looms up like (AX)Tabor among the mountains,
Or like (AY)Carmel by the sea.
19 Make your baggage ready for (AZ)exile,
O inhabitant of the (BA)daughter of Egypt,
For (BB)Memphis will become a desolation;
It will even be turned into ruin and without inhabitants.
20 Egypt is a pretty (BC)heifer,
But a [n]horsefly is coming (BD)from the north—it is coming!
21 Also her (BE)mercenaries in her midst
Are like [o]fattened (BF)calves,
For even they have turned back and have fled away together;
They did not stand their ground.
For the day of their disaster has come upon them,
The time of their (BG)punishment.
22 Its sound moves along like a serpent;
For they move on [p]like a military force
And come to her as woodcutters with axes.
23 They have cut down her (BH)forest,” declares Yahweh;
“Surely it will no longer be searched out,
Even though [q]they are now more numerous than (BI)locusts
And are without number.
24 The daughter of Egypt has been put to shame,
Given over to the hand of the (BJ)people of the north.”

25 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon of (BK)Thebes, and (BL)Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her (BM)gods and her kings, even Pharaoh and those who (BN)trust in him. 26 I shall give them into the hand of those who are (BO)seeking their lives, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his servants. (BP)Afterwards, however, it will be dwelt in like in the days of old,” declares Yahweh.

27 “But as for you, O Jacob My servant, (BQ)do not fear,
Nor be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I am going to (BR)save you from afar,
And your seed from the land of their captivity;
And Jacob will return and have (BS)quiet
And be at ease, with no one making him tremble.
28 O Jacob My servant, do not fear,” declares Yahweh,
“For (BT)I am with you.
For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations
Where I have banished you,
Yet I will (BU)not make a complete destruction of you;
But I will (BV)discipline you with justice
And by no means leave you unpunished.”

Word Against Philistia

47 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the (BW)Philistines, before Pharaoh struck down (BX)Gaza. 2 Thus says Yahweh:

“Behold, waters are going to rise from (BY)the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And (BZ)overflow the land as well as its fullness,
The city and those who inhabit it;
And the men will (CA)cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 Because of the noise of the [r](CB)galloping hoofs of his [s]valiant steeds,
The quaking of his chariots, and the tumult of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the limpness of their hands,
4 On account of the day that is coming
To (CC)destroy all the Philistines,
To cut off from (CD)Tyre and Sidon
Every ally that is left;
For Yahweh is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of (CE)Caphtor.
5 (CF)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(CG)Ashkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you (CH)gash yourself?
6 Ah, (CI)sword of Yahweh,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
[t]Be at rest and stay still.
7 How can [u]it be quiet?
Yahweh has (CJ)given it a command;
Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
There He has (CK)assigned it.”

Psalm 105
New International Version

Psalm 105(A)

1 Give praise to the Lord,(B) proclaim his name;(C)
    make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him,(D) sing praise to him;(E)
    tell of all his wonderful acts.(F)
3 Glory in his holy name;(G)
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face(H) always.

5 Remember the wonders(I) he has done,
    his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,(J)
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
    his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments are in all the earth.

8 He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
    the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,(N)
    the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it(O) to Jacob as a decree,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(Q)
    as the portion you will inherit.”(R)

12 When they were but few in number,(S)
    few indeed, and strangers in it,(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(U)
    from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(V) them;
    for their sake he rebuked kings:(W)
15 “Do not touch(X) my anointed ones;
    do my prophets(Y) no harm.”

16 He called down famine(Z) on the land
    and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
    Joseph, sold as a slave.(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(AB)
    his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(AC) came to pass,
    till the word(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
    the ruler of peoples set him free.(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
    ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(AF) as he pleased
    and teach his elders wisdom.(AG)

23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(AH)
    Jacob resided(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
    he made them too numerous(AK) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(AL) to hate his people,
    to conspire(AM) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(AN) his servant,
    and Aaron,(AO) whom he had chosen.(AP)
27 They performed(AQ) his signs(AR) among them,
    his wonders(AS) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AT) and made the land dark—
    for had they not rebelled against(AU) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AV)
    causing their fish to die.(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AX)
    which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AY) and there came swarms of flies,(AZ)
    and gnats(BA) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(BB)
    with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(BC) and fig trees(BD)
    and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(BE) and the locusts came,(BF)
    grasshoppers(BG) without number;(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
    ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(BI) in their land,
    the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(BJ)
    and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
    because dread of Israel(BK) had fallen on them.

39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
    and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
    he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
    it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
    given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
    and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
    and observe his laws.(BV)

Praise the Lord.[a](BW)

Remember His Wondrous Deeds

105 Oh (A)give thanks to Yahweh, (B)call upon His name;
(C)Make known His acts among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, (D)sing praises to Him;
(E)Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
3 Boast in His holy name;
Let the (F)heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
4 Inquire of Yahweh and (G)His strength;
(H)Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His (I)wondrous deeds which He has done,
His miracles and the (J)judgments [a]uttered by His mouth,
6 O seed of (K)Abraham, His servant,
O sons of (L)Jacob, His (M)chosen ones!
7 He is Yahweh our God;
His (N)judgments are in all the earth.

8 He has (O)remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded for a (P)thousand generations,
9 (Q)Which He cut with Abraham,
And His (R)oath to Isaac.
10 Then He (S)confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, “(T)To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the [b](U)portion of your inheritance,”
12 When they were only a (V)few men in number,
Of little account, and (W)sojourners in it.
13 And they wandered about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
14 He (X)permitted no man to oppress them,
And He (Y)reproved kings for their sakes:
15 “(Z)Do not touch My anointed ones,
And to My prophets do no evil.”

16 And He (AA)called for a famine upon the land;
He (AB)broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He (AC)sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was (AD)sold as a slave.
18 They afflicted his (AE)feet with fetters,
[c]He himself was laid in irons;
19 Until the time that his (AF)word came to pass,
The word of Yahweh (AG)refined him.
20 The (AH)king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples sent and set him free.
21 He (AI)set him up as lord of his house
And ruler over all his possessions,
22 To [d]imprison his princes [e](AJ)at will,
And that he might teach his elders wisdom.
23 (AK)Then Israel came to Egypt;
And Jacob (AL)sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And He (AM)caused His people to be very fruitful,
And He caused them to be stronger than their adversaries.

25 He (AN)turned their heart to hate His people,
To (AO)deal craftily with His slaves.
26 He (AP)sent Moses His servant,
And (AQ)Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They (AR)set forth the words of His signs among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
28 He (AS)sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not (AT)rebel against His words.
29 He (AU)turned their waters into blood
And caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with (AV)frogs
Even in the (AW)chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came a (AX)swarm of flies
And (AY)gnats in all their territory.
32 He [f]gave them (AZ)hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 He also (BA)struck down their vines and their fig trees,
And He shattered the trees of their territory.
34 He spoke, and (BB)locusts came,
And creeping locusts, without number,
35 And [g]they ate up all vegetation in their land,
And [h]they ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He also (BC)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The (BD)first of all their vigor.

37 Then He brought them out with (BE)silver and gold,
And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.
38 Egypt was (BF)glad when they went out,
For the (BG)dread of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a (BH)cloud for a [i]covering,
And (BI)fire to give light by night.
40 [j]They (BJ)asked, and He brought (BK)quail,
And He satisfied them with the [k](BL)bread of heaven.
41 He opened the [l]rock and (BM)water flowed out;
[m]It ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He (BN)remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;
43 And He brought His people out with joy,
His chosen ones with a shout of (BO)joy.
44 He (BP)gave them also the lands of the [n]nations,
That they (BQ)might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
45 So that they might (BR)keep His statutes
And observe His laws,
[o]Praise Yah!

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,(A) by the Sea of Galilee.[a](B) It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas(C) (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael(D) from Cana in Galilee,(E) the sons of Zebedee,(F) and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.(G)

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.(H)

5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.(I)

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved(J) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[c] 9 When they landed, they saw a fire(K) of burning coals there with fish on it,(L) and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.(M) 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples(N) after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”(O)

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”(P)

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”(Q)

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”(R) He said, “Lord, you know all things;(S) you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(T) 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death(U) by which Peter would glorify God.(V) Then he said to him, “Follow me!”(W)

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved(X) was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)(Y) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,(Z) what is that to you? You must follow me.”(AA) 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers(AB) that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things(AC) and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.(AD)

25 Jesus did many other things as well.(AE) If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

21 After these things Jesus [a](A)manifested Himself (B)again to the disciples at the (C)Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, and (D)Thomas called [b]Didymus, and (E)Nathanael of (F)Cana in Galilee, and (G)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 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 (H)that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not (I)know that it was Jesus. 5 So Jesus *said to them, “Children, (J)do you have [c]any fish?” They answered Him, “No.” 6 And He said to them, “(K)Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 7 (L)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 cast himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about [d]two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

9 So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal (M)fire in place and (N)fish placed on it, and bread. 10 Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the (O)fish which you have now caught.” 11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus Provides Breakfast

12 Jesus *said to them, “Come, have (P)breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus *came and *took (Q)the bread and *gave it to them, and the (R)fish likewise. 14 This is now the (S)third time that Jesus [e]was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

Peter’s Restoration and Commission

15 So when they had (T)finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you [f](U)love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [g]love You.” He *said to him, “Tend (V)My lambs.” 16 He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you [h]love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [i]love You.” He *said to him, “(W)Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you [j]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him (X)the third time, “Do you [k]love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, (Y)You know all things; You know that I [l]love You.” Jesus *said to him, “(Z)Tend My sheep. 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.” 19 Now this He said, (AA)signifying by (AB)what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “(AC)Follow Me!”

Jesus’ Command to Follow Him

20 Peter, turning around, *saw the (AD)disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had (AE)leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain (AF)until I come, what is that to you? You (AG)follow Me!” 23 Therefore this saying went out among (AH)the brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain (AI)until I come, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple who (AJ)is bearing witness to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his witness is true.

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