ヨハネ 21
Japanese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
弟子7人の前に現れたイエス
21 後になって、イエスはガリラヤ湖で自分の弟子たちの前にもう一度現れた。これがその時に起きたことだ・・・ 2 シモン・ペテロ、トマス（双子と呼ばれた）、ガリラヤ地方のカナ出身のナタナエル、ゼベダイの息子2人、他にも2人の弟子が一緒にいた。 3 シモン・ペテロが言った。「俺、漁に行ってくるわ」
他の弟子たちも言った。「それじゃあ、俺たちも行くよ」そこで、彼ら全員で出て行き、小舟に乗り込んだ。彼らは夜通しずっと漁をしたのに、何も獲れなかった。
4 翌朝の早朝、イエスが岸辺に立っていた。しかし、弟子たちはその人がイエスだと気付いていなかった。 5 そして、イエスは彼らに言った。「お前ら～！魚は捕れたか～？」
「いやー、ダメだったー！」彼らは答えた。
6 イエスが言った。「なら、舟の右側に網を投げてみな！そこなら魚が捕れるぞ～！」彼らが言われた通りにすると、舟に引き上げられないほど大量の魚が獲れた！
7 その時だった。イエスにとても愛されていた弟子がペテロに言った。「あの男は主じゃないか！」主であると聞いたペテロは、自分の上着を体に巻いて（彼は仕事のため自分の服を脱いでいたのだ）水に飛び込んだ。 8 他の弟子たちは舟で岸まで進み、網の魚を岸辺にあげた。彼らの舟は岸辺からはそこまで遠く離れておらず、岸からは100mほどだった。 9 彼らが小舟から降りて岸に着くと、魚が炭火で焼かれていた。そこには食べるためのパンもあった。 10 すると、イエスが言った。「お前たちが獲ってきた魚を何匹か持って来てくれ！」
11 シモン・ペテロは小舟に行って、網を岸に引き上げた。大きな魚でいっぱいの網には、なんと153匹の魚が入っていた！しかも、そんなにもたくさんの魚が獲れたのにも関わらず、網は裂けていなかった。 12 イエスは彼らに言った。「こっちに来いよ、食べようぜ！」と。弟子たちは誰一人として恥をかきたくなかったので、「あなたは誰ですか？」とイエスに聞く者はいなかった。彼が主であることは彼らにもわかっていたのだ。 13 イエスはパンを取りに歩いて行き、そして彼らにそのパンをあげた。また、魚も同じように彼らにあげた。
14 これは、イエスが死から復活した後、彼が弟子の前に現れた3回目のことだった。
イエスはペテロに話しかける
15 彼らが食べ終えた後、イエスはシモン・ペテロに言った。「ヨハネの息子シモン。俺に対するお前の愛はここにいる誰よりも大きな愛か？」
ペテロは答えた。「王よ！愛してるよ。あなたはそれを知ってるじゃないか！」
それからイエスが彼に言った。「俺の小羊たちの世話を頼もう」
16 もう一度イエスは彼に言った。「ヨハネの息子シモン。俺を愛しているか？」
ペテロは答えた。「王よ！私が愛してることぐらい、あなたが知ってるじゃないか！」
それからイエスが言った。「俺の羊たちの世話を頼もう」
17 イエスは再び言った。「ヨハネの息子、シモンよ。俺を愛しているか？」
3回もイエスから「わたしを愛しているか？」と聞かれたペテロの心には悲しさがあった。彼は言った。「王よ！あなたは全部わかっているじゃないか。俺があなたを愛してるって知っているじゃないか！」
イエスは彼に言った。「俺の羊の世話を頼む！ 18 真実はこうだ！お前が若かったころ、お前は自分の帯を自分で結び、お前は行きたいところへ行った。だが、お前が歳をとれば他の誰かがその帯を結び、お前の行きたくないところへと彼らはお前を連れて行く」 19 （イエスはペテロがどのように死んで、神に栄光をもたらすかを示すためにこう言ったのだ）それから、イエスはペテロに言った。「俺についてこい！」
20 ペテロが振り返ると、後ろにはイエスにとても愛された弟子がいた。（この弟子は夕食の時、イエスに寄りかかっていてこう言った人だ。「主よ、あなたを差し出すのは誰ですか？」と） 21 ペテロはその弟子の1人が他の弟子たちの後ろにいるのを見て、イエスに聞いた。「主よ！彼は？彼はどうなんだ？」
22 イエスは答えた。「俺が戻ってくるまで、彼には生きていてほしい・・・。しかし、そんなことはお前にとって関係のないことだ。お前は俺についてくれば良い！」
23 こうしてイエスの弟子たちの間で、ある話が広まった。弟子たちが言っていたのは、この弟子は死なないのではないかということだ。だが、イエスは彼が死なないとは言っていなかった。イエスが言ったのは、「俺が戻ってくるまで、彼には生きていてほしい・・・。しかし、そんなことはお前にとって関係のないことだ」としか言っていない。
24 その弟子とは、これらのことを伝えている者。その者は、これら全てを今ここに書き出している者。私たちは、その者が言っていることは真実であると知っている。
25 イエスがしたことは他にもいっぱいあるが、もし1つ1つ全てを書き出していたら、全世界に存在する本の量を集めてもまだ書ききれないほどの量になるだろう。

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.

King James Version
21 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
