耶穌在海邊向七個門徒顯現

21 這些事以後,耶穌在提比里亞海邊再次向門徒顯現。他顯現的經過是這樣的: 當時西門.彼得、稱為“雙生子”的多馬、加利利的迦拿人拿但業、西庇太的兩個兒子,和另外兩個門徒都聚在一起。 西門.彼得對他們說:“我要打魚去。”他們說:“我們也跟你一起去。”於是他們出去,上了船,可是那一夜他們並沒有打到甚麼。 清早的時候,耶穌站在岸邊;門徒卻不知道他就是耶穌。 耶穌對他們說:“孩子們,打到魚沒有?”他們回答:“沒有。” 耶穌說:“把網撒在船的右邊,就可以得著。”他們就把網撒下去,可是拉不上來,因為魚太多。 耶穌所愛的那門徒對彼得說:“是主!”西門.彼得一聽見是主,就立刻束上外衣(因為他當時赤著身子),縱身跳進海裡。 其他的門徒,因為離岸不遠(約有一百公尺),就坐在小船上,把那網魚拖過來。 他們上了岸,就看見那裡有一堆炭火,上面有魚有餅。 10 耶穌對他們說:“把你們剛才打的魚拿幾條來。” 11 西門.彼得就上船,把網拉到岸上;那網滿了大魚,共有一百五十三條。魚雖然這麼多,網卻沒有破。 12 耶穌對他們說:“你們來,吃早飯吧。”門徒中沒有一個人敢問他:“你是誰?”因為知道他是主。 13 耶穌走過來,拿餅遞給他們,又照樣拿魚遞給他們。 14 這是耶穌從死人中復活之後,第三次向門徒顯現。

耶穌三次問彼得是否愛他

15 他們吃了早飯,耶穌問西門.彼得:“約翰的兒子西門,你愛我比這些更深嗎?”他回答:“主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。”耶穌說:“你餵養我的小羊。” 16 耶穌第二次又問他:“約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?”他回答:“主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。”耶穌說:“你牧養我的羊。” 17 耶穌第三次問他:“約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?”彼得因為耶穌第三次問他:“你愛我嗎?”就憂愁起來,對耶穌說:“主啊,你是無所不知的,你知道我愛你。”耶穌說:“你餵養我的羊。 18 我實實在在告訴你,你年輕的時候,自己束上腰帶,隨意往來;但到了年老的時候,你要伸出手來,別人要把你綁著,帶你到你不願意去的地方。” 19 耶穌說這話,是指明彼得將怎樣死,來榮耀 神。說了這話,就對彼得說:“你跟從我吧!”

耶穌所愛的那門徒

20 彼得轉過身來,看見耶穌所愛的那門徒跟著,就是在晚飯的時候,靠著耶穌的胸膛,問“主啊,出賣你的是誰?”的那個人。 21 彼得看見他,就問耶穌:“主啊,這個人將來怎麼樣?” 22 耶穌回答他:“如果我要他活到我來的時候,跟你有甚麼關係呢?你只管跟從我吧!” 23 於是這話流傳在弟兄中間,說那門徒不會死。其實耶穌並沒有對他說他不會死,只是說:“如果我要他活到我來的時候,跟你有甚麼關係呢?”

24 為這些事作證,並且記述這些事的,就是這門徒;我們知道他的見證是真實的。

25 耶穌所行的,還有許多其他的事;如果都一一寫下來,所要寫成的書,我想就是這個世界也容不下了。

耶稣在海边向七个门徒显现

21 这些事以后,耶稣在提比里亚海边再次向门徒显现。他显现的经过是这样的: 当时西门.彼得、称为“双生子”的多马、加利利的迦拿人拿但业、西庇太的两个儿子,和另外两个门徒都聚在一起。 西门.彼得对他们说:“我要打鱼去。”他们说:“我们也跟你一起去。”于是他们出去,上了船,可是那一夜他们并没有打到甚么。 清早的时候,耶稣站在岸边;门徒却不知道他就是耶稣。 耶稣对他们说:“孩子们,打到鱼没有?”他们回答:“没有。” 耶稣说:“把网撒在船的右边,就可以得着。”他们就把网撒下去,可是拉不上来,因为鱼太多。 耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说:“是主!”西门.彼得一听见是主,就立刻束上外衣(因为他当时赤着身子),纵身跳进海里。 其他的门徒,因为离岸不远(约有一百公尺),就坐在小船上,把那网鱼拖过来。 他们上了岸,就看见那里有一堆炭火,上面有鱼有饼。 10 耶稣对他们说:“把你们刚才打的鱼拿几条来。” 11 西门.彼得就上船,把网拉到岸上;那网满了大鱼,共有一百五十三条。鱼虽然这么多,网却没有破。 12 耶稣对他们说:“你们来,吃早饭吧。”门徒中没有一个人敢问他:“你是谁?”因为知道他是主。 13 耶稣走过来,拿饼递给他们,又照样拿鱼递给他们。 14 这是耶稣从死人中复活之后,第三次向门徒显现。

耶稣三次问彼得是否爱他

15 他们吃了早饭,耶稣问西门.彼得:“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我比这些更深吗?”他回答:“主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“你喂养我的小羊。” 16 耶稣第二次又问他:“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”他回答:“主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“你牧养我的羊。” 17 耶稣第三次问他:“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”彼得因为耶稣第三次问他:“你爱我吗?”就忧愁起来,对耶稣说:“主啊,你是无所不知的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“你喂养我的羊。 18 我实实在在告诉你,你年轻的时候,自己束上腰带,随意往来;但到了年老的时候,你要伸出手来,别人要把你绑着,带你到你不愿意去的地方。” 19 耶稣说这话,是指明彼得将怎样死,来荣耀 神。说了这话,就对彼得说:“你跟从我吧!”

耶稣所爱的那门徒

20 彼得转过身来,看见耶稣所爱的那门徒跟着,就是在晚饭的时候,靠着耶稣的胸膛,问“主啊,出卖你的是谁?”的那个人。 21 彼得看见他,就问耶稣:“主啊,这个人将来怎么样?” 22 耶稣回答他:“如果我要他活到我来的时候,跟你有甚么关系呢?你只管跟从我吧!” 23 于是这话流传在弟兄中间,说那门徒不会死。其实耶稣并没有对他说他不会死,只是说:“如果我要他活到我来的时候,跟你有甚么关系呢?”

24 为这些事作证,并且记述这些事的,就是这门徒;我们知道他的见证是真实的。

25 耶稣所行的,还有许多其他的事;如果都一一写下来,所要写成的书,我想就是这个世界也容不下了。

Jesus Appears to His Disciples Again

21 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples. This is what happened. Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two other disciples of Jesus were together. Simon Peter said to the others, “I’m going fishing.”

They told him, “We’re going with you.”

They went out in a boat but didn’t catch a thing that night. As the sun was rising, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn’t realize that it was Jesus.

Jesus asked them, “Friends, haven’t you caught any fish?”

They answered him, “No, we haven’t.”

He told them, “Throw the net out on the right side of the boat, and you’ll catch some.” So they threw the net out and were unable to pull it in because so many fish were in it.

The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on the clothes that he had taken off and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came with the boat and dragged the net full of fish. They weren’t far from the shore, only about 100 yards.

When they went ashore, they saw a fire with a fish lying on the coals, and they saw a loaf of bread.

10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught.” 11 Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net ashore. Though the net was filled with 153 large fish, it was not torn.

12 Jesus told them, “Come, have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was. They knew he was the Lord. 13 Jesus took the bread, gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

14 This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had come back to life.

Jesus Speaks with Peter

15 After they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the other disciples do?”

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

Jesus told him, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Jesus asked him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

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

Jesus told him, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 Jesus asked him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

Peter felt sad because Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” So Peter said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”

Jesus told him, “Feed my sheep. 18 I can guarantee this truth: When you were young, you would get ready to go where you wanted. But when you’re old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will get you ready to take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to show by what kind of death Peter would bring glory to God. After saying this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me!”

20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved. That disciple was following them. He was the one who leaned against Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”

22 Jesus said to Peter, “If I want him to live until I come again, how does that concern you? Follow me!” 23 So a rumor that that disciple wouldn’t die spread among Jesus’ followers. But Jesus didn’t say that he wouldn’t die. What Jesus said was, “If I want him to live until I come again, how does that concern you?”

24 This disciple was an eyewitness of these things and wrote them down. We know that what he says is true.

25 Jesus also did many other things. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books that would be written.

21 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

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.

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.

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,(A) by the Sea of Galilee.[a](B) It happened this way: 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. “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)

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

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

“No,” they answered.

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)

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. 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] 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.
