Jesus visar sig för lärjungarna när de fiskar

21 Senare visade sig Jesus för lärjungarna igen vid Galileiska sjön, och så här gick det till:

En grupp bestående av Petrus, Tomas Tvillingen, Natanael från Kana i Galileen, Jakob och Johannes samt två andra lärjungar var där tillsammans.

Då sa Petrus: Jag tänker gå och fiska.Vi följer också med, sa de andra. Så steg de i båten och for ut på sjön, men de fick inget på hela natten.

I gryningen stod en man på stranden, men de såg inte vem det var.

Då ropade han till dem: Hur har det gått för er, har ni fått någon fisk? Nej, svarade de.

Sedan sa han: Kasta ut nätet på höger sida om båten, så kommer ni att få massor av fisk. De följde hans råd, och fick så mycket fisk att de knappt orkade dra in nätet!

Den lärjunge som Jesus älskade sa då till Petrus: Det är Herren. Då tog Petrus på sig sin skjorta för han var bar på överkroppen och hoppade i vattnet och simmade i land.

Resten av lärjungarna följde efter med båten och drog in det överfyllda nätet till stranden, en sträcka på ungefär hundra meter.

När de kom i land såg de att det brann en eld där och att några fiskar höll på att stekas över den. Där fanns också bröd.

10 Kom hit med några av fiskarna som ni just har fått, sa Jesus.

11 Då gick Petrus ut och drog i land nätet. Det var 153 stora fiskar i nätet, och trots det så hade det inte gått sönder.

12 Kom hit och ät, sa Jesus. Ingen av lärjungarna vågade fråga vem han var, men alla förstod att det var Herren.

13 Därefter gick Jesus fram till dem och gav dem av brödet och fisken.

14 Det var tredje gången som Jesus visade sig för lärjungarna sedan han uppstått från de döda.

Jesus samtalar med Petrus

15 När de hade ätit sa Jesus till Simon Petrus: Simon, Johannes son, älskar du mig mer än de andra här? Ja, svarade Petrus, du vet att jag är din vän.Föd då mina lamm, sa Jesus till honom.

16 Jesus upprepade frågan: Simon, Johannes son, älskar du mig verkligen? Ja, Herre, sa Petrus, du vet att jag är din vän.Ta då hand om mina får, sa Jesus.

17 Än en gång frågade Jesus honom: Simon, Johannes son, är du verkligen min vän? Petrus blev ledsen över att Jesus ställde frågan en tredje gång, men han svarade: Herre, du känner mig och du vet att jag är din vän.Jesus sa: Föd då mina lamm.

18 Men jag har mer att säga dig. När du var ung kunde du göra som du ville, och du hade dina egna planer. Men när du blir gammal ska du sträcka ut händerna, och andra ska leda dig för att föra dig dit du inte vill.

19 Jesus sa detta för att låta Petrus veta med vilket slags död han skulle förhärliga Gud. Sedan sa Jesus till honom: Följ mig.

20 Petrus vände sig om och såg att den lärjunge som Jesus älskade följde efter, han som hade lutat sig fram vid deras sista kvällsmåltid för att fråga Jesus: Herre, vem av oss kommer att förråda dig?

21 Petrus frågade Jesus: Vad kommer att hända med honom? Hur kommer han att dö?

22 Jesus svarade: Om jag vill att han ska leva tills jag kommer tillbaka, vad har du med det att göra? Följ du mig.

23 Så spreds ryktet att den lärjungen inte skulle dö. Men det var inte alls vad Jesus sa. Han sa bara: Om jag vill att han ska leva tills jag kommer, vad har du med det att göra?

24 Jag är den lärjungen! Jag såg dessa händelser och har skrivit ner dem här och alla vet att det är sant. Och jag tror att om alla övriga händelser i Jesu liv skulle skrivas ner, så skulle världen knappast rymma alla de böcker man då fick lov att skriva!

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.

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: 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. 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. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (F)did not know that it was Jesus. Then (G)Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

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.

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. 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. 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.
