John 21
New King James Version
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: 2 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. 3 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. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (F)did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then (G)Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”
They answered Him, “No.”
6 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.
7 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. 8 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. 9 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 y la pesca milagrosa
21 Después de esto, Jesús se apareció de nuevo a sus discípulos, junto al lago de Tiberíades.[a] Sucedió de esta manera: 2 Estaban juntos Simón Pedro, Tomás (al que apodaban el Gemelo[b]), Natanael, el de Caná de Galilea, los hijos de Zebedeo, y otros dos discípulos.
3 ―Me voy a pescar —dijo Simón Pedro.
―Nos vamos contigo —contestaron ellos.
Salieron, pues, de allí y se embarcaron, pero esa noche no pescaron nada.
4 Al despuntar el alba, Jesús se hizo presente en la orilla, pero los discípulos no se dieron cuenta de que era él.
5 ―Muchachos, ¿no tenéis algo de comer? —les preguntó Jesús.
―No —respondieron ellos.
6 ―Echad la red a la derecha de la barca, y pescaréis algo.
Así lo hicieron, y era tal la cantidad de peces que ya no podían sacar la red.
7 ―¡Es el Señor! —dijo a Pedro el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba.
Tan pronto como Simón Pedro le oyó decir: «Es el Señor», se puso la ropa, pues estaba semidesnudo, y se tiró al agua. 8 Los otros discípulos lo siguieron en la barca, arrastrando la red llena de pescados, pues estaban a escasos cien metros[c] de la orilla. 9 Al desembarcar, vieron unas brasas con un pescado encima, y un pan.
10 ―Traed algunos de los pescados que acabáis de sacar —les dijo Jesús.
11 Simón Pedro subió a bordo y arrastró la red hasta la orilla, la cual estaba llena de pescados de buen tamaño. Eran ciento cincuenta y tres, pero a pesar de ser tantos la red no se rompió.
12 ―Venid a desayunar —les dijo Jesús.
Ninguno de los discípulos se atrevía a preguntarle: «¿Quién eres tú?», porque sabían que era el Señor. 13 Jesús se acercó, tomó el pan y se lo repartió, e hizo lo mismo con el pescado. 14 Esta fue la tercera vez que Jesús se apareció a sus discípulos después de haber resucitado.
Jesús restituye a Pedro
15 Cuando terminaron de desayunar, Jesús preguntó a Simón Pedro:
―Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas más que estos?
―Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero —contestó Pedro.
―Apacienta mis corderos —le dijo Jesús.
16 Y volvió a preguntarle:
―Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas?
―Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero.
―Cuida de mis ovejas.
17 Por tercera vez Jesús le preguntó:
―Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me quieres?
A Pedro le dolió que por tercera vez Jesús le hubiera preguntado: «¿Me quieres?» Así que le dijo:
―Señor, tú lo sabes todo; tú sabes que te quiero.
―Apacienta mis ovejas —le dijo Jesús—. 18 De veras te aseguro que cuando eras más joven te vestías tú mismo e ibas adonde querías; pero, cuando seas viejo, extenderás las manos y otro te vestirá y te llevará adonde no quieras ir.
19 Esto dijo Jesús para dar a entender la clase de muerte con que Pedro glorificaría a Dios. Después de eso añadió:
―¡Sígueme!
20 Al volverse, Pedro vio que los seguía el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, el mismo que en la cena se había reclinado sobre Jesús y le había dicho: «Señor, ¿quién es el que va a traicionarte?» 21 Al verlo, Pedro preguntó:
―Señor, ¿y este, qué?
22 ―Si quiero que él permanezca vivo hasta que yo vuelva, ¿a ti, qué? Tú sígueme.
23 Por este motivo corrió entre los hermanos el rumor de que aquel discípulo no moriría. Pero Jesús no dijo que no moriría, sino solamente: «Si quiero que él permanezca vivo hasta que yo vuelva, ¿a ti qué?»
24 Este es el discípulo que da testimonio de estas cosas, y las escribió. Y estamos convencidos de que su testimonio es verídico.
25 Jesús hizo también muchas otras cosas, tantas que, si se escribiera cada una de ellas, pienso que los libros escritos no cabrían en el mundo entero.
