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: 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 offenbart sich am See von Tiberias
21 Danach offenbarte sich Jesus den Jüngern wiederum am See von Tiberias[a]. Er offenbarte sich aber so:
2 Es waren beisammen Simon Petrus und Thomas, der Zwilling genannt wird, und Nathanael von Kana in Galiläa und die Söhne des Zebedäus und zwei andere von seinen Jüngern.
3 Simon Petrus spricht zu ihnen: Ich gehe fischen! Sie sprechen zu ihm: So kommen wir auch mit dir. Da gingen sie hinaus und stiegen sogleich in das Schiff; und in jener Nacht fingen sie nichts.
4 Als es aber schon Morgen geworden war, stand Jesus am Ufer; doch wussten die Jünger nicht, dass es Jesus war.
5 Da spricht Jesus zu ihnen: Kinder, habt ihr nichts zu essen? Sie antworteten ihm: Nein!
6 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Werft das Netz auf der rechten Seite des Schiffes aus, so werdet ihr finden! Da warfen sie es aus und konnten es nicht mehr einziehen wegen der Menge der Fische.
7 Da spricht der Jünger, den Jesus lieb hatte, zu Simon Petrus: Es ist der Herr! Als nun Simon Petrus hörte, dass es der Herr sei, gürtete er das Obergewand um sich, denn er war nur im Untergewand[b], und warf sich in den See.
8 Die anderen Jünger aber kamen mit dem Schiff (denn sie waren nicht fern vom Land, sondern etwa 200 Ellen weit) und zogen das Netz mit den Fischen nach.
9 Wie sie nun ans Land gestiegen waren, sahen sie ein Kohlenfeuer am Boden und einen Fisch darauf liegen und Brot.
10 Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Bringt her von den Fischen, die ihr jetzt gefangen habt!
11 Simon Petrus stieg hinein und zog das Netz auf das Land, voll großer Fische, 153; und obwohl es so viele waren, zerriss doch das Netz nicht.
12 Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Kommt zum Frühstück! Aber keiner der Jünger wagte ihn zu fragen: Wer bist du? Denn sie wussten, dass es der Herr war.
13 Da kommt Jesus und nimmt das Brot und gibt es ihnen, und ebenso den Fisch.
14 Das war schon das dritte Mal, dass sich Jesus seinen Jüngern offenbarte, nachdem er aus den Toten auferweckt war.
Der Herr redet mit seinem Diener Petrus
15 Als sie nun gefrühstückt hatten, spricht Jesus zu Simon Petrus: Simon, Sohn des Jonas, liebst du mich mehr als diese? Er spricht zu ihm: Ja, Herr, du weißt, dass ich dich lieb habe! Er spricht zu ihm: Weide meine Lämmer!
16 Wiederum spricht er zum zweiten Mal zu ihm: Simon, Sohn des Jonas, liebst du mich? Er antwortete ihm: Ja, Herr, du weißt, dass ich dich lieb habe. Er spricht zu ihm: Hüte meine Schafe!
17 Und das dritte Mal fragt er ihn: Simon, Sohn des Jonas, hast du mich lieb? Da wurde Petrus traurig, dass er ihn das dritte Mal fragte: Hast du mich lieb?, und er sprach zu ihm: Herr, du weißt alle Dinge; du weißt, dass ich dich lieb habe. Jesus spricht zu ihm: Weide meine Schafe!
18 Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Als du jünger warst, gürtetest du dich selbst und gingst, wohin du wolltest; wenn du aber alt geworden bist, wirst du deine Hände ausstrecken, und ein anderer wird dich gürten und führen, wohin du nicht willst.
19 Dies aber sagte er, um anzudeuten, durch welchen Tod er Gott verherrlichen werde. Und nachdem er das gesagt hatte, spricht er zu ihm: Folge mir nach!
20 Petrus aber wandte sich um und sah den Jünger folgen, den Jesus liebte, der sich auch beim Abendmahl an seine Brust gelehnt und gefragt hatte: Herr, wer ist"s, der dich verrät?
21 Als Petrus diesen sah, spricht er zu Jesus: Herr, was ist aber mit diesem?
22 Jesus spricht zu ihm: Wenn ich will, dass er bleibe, bis ich komme, was geht es dich an? Folge du mir nach!
23 Daher kam nun dieses Wort auf unter den Brüdern: Dieser Jünger stirbt nicht! Und doch hat Jesus nicht zu ihm gesagt, er sterbe nicht, sondern: Wenn ich will, dass er bleibe, bis ich komme, was geht es dich an?
Schlusswort
24 Das ist der Jünger, der von diesen Dingen Zeugnis ablegt und dies geschrieben hat; und wir wissen, dass sein Zeugnis wahr ist.
25 Es sind aber noch viele andere Dinge, die Jesus getan hat; und wenn sie eines nach dem anderen beschrieben würden, so glaube ich, die Welt würde die Bücher gar nicht fassen, die zu schreiben wären. 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: 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.
