John 21
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
21 After this, Jesus let Himself be seen and revealed [Himself] again to the disciples, at the Sea of Tiberias. And He did it in this way:
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, called the Twin, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, also the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.
3 Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing! They said to him, And we are coming with you! So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout that night they caught nothing.
4 Morning was already breaking when Jesus came to the beach and stood there. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 So Jesus said to them, [a]Boys (children), you do not have any meat (fish), do you? [Have you caught anything to eat along with your bread?] They answered Him, No!
6 And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find [some]. So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch (mass, quantity) of fish [was in it].
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! Simon Peter, hearing him say that it was the Lord, put (girded) on his upper garment (his fisherman’s coat, his outer tunic)—for he was stripped [for work]—and sprang into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only some hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
9 When they got out on land (the beach), they saw a fire of coals there and fish lying on it [cooking], and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.
11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them; and [though] there were so many of them, the net was not torn.
12 Jesus said to them, Come [and] have breakfast. But none of the disciples ventured or dared to ask Him, Who are You? because they [well] knew that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so also [with] the fish.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself (appeared, was manifest) to the disciples after He had risen from the dead.
15 When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these [others do—with reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion, as one loves the Father]? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You [that I have deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. He said to him, Feed My lambs.
16 Again He said to him the second time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion, as one loves the Father]? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You [that I have a deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. He said to him, Shepherd (tend) My sheep.
17 He said to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with a deep, instinctive, personal affection for Me, as for a close friend]? Peter was grieved (was saddened and hurt) that He should ask him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You [that I have a deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.
18 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, when you were young you girded yourself [put on your own belt or girdle] and you walked about wherever you pleased to go. But when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will put a girdle around you and carry you where you do not wish to go.
19 He said this to indicate by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. And after this, He said to him, Follow Me!
20 But Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following—the one who also had leaned back on His breast at the supper and had said, Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?
21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about this man?
22 Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you? [What concern is it of yours?] You follow Me!
23 So word went out among the brethren that this disciple was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but, If I want him to stay (survive, live) till I come, what is that to you?
24 It is this same disciple who is bearing witness to these things and who has recorded (written) them; and we [well] know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail], I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written.

Arătarea la Marea Tiberiadei
21 După aceea, Isus S-a mai arătat ucenicilor Săi la Marea Tiberiadei. Iată cum S-a arătat: 2 Simon Petru, Toma, zis Geamăn, Natanael(A) din Cana Galileii, fiii(B) lui Zebedei şi alţi doi din ucenicii lui Isus erau împreună. 3 Simon Petru le-a zis: „Mă duc să prind peşte”. „Mergem şi noi cu tine”, i-au zis ei. Au ieşit şi s-au suit într-o corabie, şi n-au prins nimic în noaptea aceea. 4 Dimineaţa, Isus stătea pe ţărm, dar ucenicii nu(C) ştiau că este Isus. 5 „Copii”, le-a zis Isus(D), „aveţi ceva de mâncare?” Ei i-au răspuns: „Nu”. 6 El le-a zis(E): „Aruncaţi mreaja în partea dreaptă a corabiei, şi veţi găsi”. Au aruncat-o deci şi n-o mai puteau trage de mulţimea peştilor. 7 Atunci, ucenicul(F) pe care-l iubea Isus a zis lui Petru: „Este Domnul!” Când a auzit Simon Petru că este Domnul, şi-a pus haina pe el şi s-a încins, căci era dezbrăcat, şi s-a aruncat în mare. 8 Ceilalţi ucenici au venit cu corăbioara, trăgând mreaja cu peşti, pentru că nu erau departe de ţărm, decât ca la două sute de coţi. 9 Când s-au pogorât pe ţărm, au văzut acolo jăratic de cărbuni, peşte pus deasupra şi pâine. 10 Isus le-a zis: „Aduceţi din peştii pe care i-aţi prins acum”. 11 Simon Petru s-a suit în corăbioară şi a tras mreaja la ţărm, plină cu o sută cincizeci şi trei de peşti mari, şi, măcar că erau atâţia, nu s-a rupt mreaja. 12 „Veniţi(G) de prânziţi”, le-a zis Isus. Şi niciunul din ucenici nu cuteza să-L întrebe: „Cine eşti?” căci ştiau că este Domnul. 13 Isus S-a apropiat, a luat pâinea şi le-a dat; tot aşa a făcut şi cu peştele. 14 Aceasta era a(H) treia oară când Se arăta Isus ucenicilor Săi după ce înviase din morţi.
Isus vesteşte moartea lui Petru
15 După ce au prânzit, Isus a zis lui Simon Petru: „Simone, fiul lui Iona, Mă iubeşti tu mai mult decât aceştia?” „Da, Doamne”, I-a răspuns Petru, „ştii că Te iubesc”. Isus i-a zis: „Paşte mieluşeii Mei”. 16 I-a zis a doua oară: „Simone, fiul lui Iona, Mă iubeşti?” „Da, Doamne”, I-a răspuns Petru, „ştii că Te iubesc”. Isus i-a zis(I): „Paşte oiţele Mele”. 17 A treia oară i-a zis Isus: „Simone, fiul lui Iona, Mă iubeşti?” Petru s-a întristat că-i zisese a treia oară: „Mă iubeşti?”Şi I-a răspuns: „Doamne, Tu toate(J) le ştii, ştii că Te iubesc”. Isus i-a zis: „Paşte oile Mele! 18 Adevărat(K), adevărat îţi spun că, atunci când erai mai tânăr, singur te încingeai şi te duceai unde voiai, dar, când vei îmbătrâni, îţi vei întinde mâinile şi altul te va încinge şi te va duce unde nu vei voi.” 19 A zis lucrul acesta ca să arate cu(L) ce fel de moarte va proslăvi Petru pe Dumnezeu. Şi, după ce a vorbit astfel, i-a zis: „Vino după Mine”. 20 Petru s-a întors şi a văzut venind după ei pe ucenicul pe(M) care-l iubea Isus, acela care, la cină, se rezemase pe pieptul lui Isus şi zisese: „Doamne, cine este cel ce Te vinde?” 21 Petru s-a uitat la el şi a zis lui Isus: „Doamne, dar cu acesta ce va fi?” 22 Isus i-a răspuns: „Dacă vreau ca el să rămână până(N) voi veni Eu, ce-ţi pasă ţie? Tu vino după Mine!” 23 Din pricina aceasta, a ieşit zvonul printre fraţi că ucenicul acela nu va muri deloc. Însă Isus nu zisese lui Petru că nu va muri deloc, ci: „Dacă vreau ca el să rămână până voi veni Eu, ce-ţi pasă ţie?” 24 Ucenicul acesta este cel ce adevereşte aceste lucruri şi care le-a scris. Şi ştim(O) că mărturia lui este adevărată. 25 Mai(P) sunt multe alte lucruri, pe care le-a făcut Isus, care, dacă s-ar fi scris cu de-amănuntul, cred(Q) că nici chiar în lumea aceasta n-ar fi putut încăpea cărţile care s-ar fi scris. Amin.
John 21
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.
