Jesus Appears to the Disciples in Galilee

21 After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself[a] in this way: Simon Peter and Thomas (who was called Didymus)[b] and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and 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 also are coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing.

Now when it[c] was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?[d] They answered him, “No.” And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”[e] So they threw it,[f] and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he[g] heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked)[h] and threw himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits[i] away.

So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire laid there, and a fish lying on it,[j] and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.” 11 So Simon Peter got into the boat[k] and hauled the net to the land, full of large fish—one hundred fifty-three—and although there[l] were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come, eat breakfast!” But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they[m] knew that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it[n] to them, and the fish likewise. 14 This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he[o] had been raised from the dead.

Peter Is Restored Three Times

15 Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs!” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Shepherd my sheep!” 17 He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed because he said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep! 18 Truly, truly I say to you, when you were young, you tied your clothes[p] around yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will tie you up and carry you where you do not want to go.[q] 19 (Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God.) And after he[r] had said this, he said to him, “Follow me!”

Peter and the Other Disciple Jesus Loved

20 Peter turned and[s] saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them[t] (who also leaned back on his chest at the dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?”) 21 So when he[u] saw this one, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, but what about this one?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that[v] to you? You follow me!” 23 So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that[w] to you?”

A Concluding Word of Testimony

24 This is the disciple who is testifying about these things, and who has written down these things. And we know that his testimony is true. 25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which—if they were written down one after the other—I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

Ang Ikatlong Pagpapakita ni Jesus

21 Pagkatapos nito, muling nagpakita si Jesus sa mga alagad sa tabi ng Lawa ng Tiberias. Ganito ang nangyari: magkakasama sina Simon Pedro, Tomas na tinatawag na Kambal, Nathanael na taga-Cana sa Galilea, ang mga anak ni Zebedeo, at dalawa pang alagad. Sinabi(A) sa kanila ni Simon Pedro, “Mangingisda ako.”

“Sasama kami,” sabi nila.

Umalis nga sila at sumakay sa isang bangka. Magdamag silang nangisda, subalit wala silang nahuli. Nang mag-uumaga na, tumayo si Jesus sa pampang ngunit siya'y hindi nila nakilala. Sinabi niya, “Mga anak, mayroon ba kayong huli?”

“Wala po,” sagot nila.

“Ihulog(B) ninyo ang lambat sa gawing kanan ng bangka at makakahuli kayo,” sabi ni Jesus.

Inihulog nga nila ang lambat at nang hilahin nila ito ay hindi nila makaya sa dami ng huli. Sinabi kay Pedro ng alagad na minamahal ni Jesus, “Ang Panginoon iyon!”

Nang marinig ni Simon Pedro na ang Panginoon iyon, nagsuot siya ng damit dahil nakahubad siya noon at saka lumusong sa tubig. Dumating sa pampang ang kasama niyang mga alagad, sakay ng bangka at hila-hila ang lambat na puno ng isda. Hindi sila gaanong malayo sa pampang, mga siyamnapung metro lamang. Pagkaahon nila sa pampang, nakakita sila roon ng isdang iniihaw sa nagbabagang uling, at ilang tinapay. 10 “Magdala kayo rito ng ilang isdang nahuli ninyo,” sabi ni Jesus. 11 Kaya't sumampa sa bangka si Simon Pedro at hinila sa pampang ang lambat na puno ng malalaking isda; isandaan at limampu't tatlo lahat ang nahuli nila. Hindi nasira ang lambat, kahit ganoon karami ang mga isda. 12 “Halikayo at mag-agahan kayo,” sabi ni Jesus. Isa man sa mga alagad ay hindi nangahas magtanong sa kanya kung sino siya sapagkat alam nila na siya ang Panginoon. 13 Lumapit si Jesus, kinuha ang tinapay at ibinigay sa kanila. Ganoon din ang kanyang ginawa sa isda.

14 Ito ang ikatlong pagpapakita ni Jesus sa mga alagad pagkatapos na siya'y muling mabuhay.

Pakainin Mo ang Aking mga Tupa

15 Pagkakain nila, tinanong ni Jesus si Simon Pedro, “Simon, anak ni Juan, iniibig mo ba ako nang higit sa mga ito?”

“Opo, Panginoon, alam ninyong mahal ko kayo,” tugon niya.

Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kung gayon pakainin mo ang aking mga batang tupa.” 16 Muli siyang tinanong ni Jesus, “Simon, anak ni Juan, iniibig mo ba ako?”

Sumagot si Pedro, “Opo, Panginoon, alam ninyong mahal ko kayo.” Sabi ni Jesus, “Alagaan mo ang aking mga tupa.”

17 Pangatlong ulit na tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Simon, anak ni Juan, mahal mo ba ako?”

Nalungkot si Pedro sapagkat tatlong beses siyang tinanong ng, “Mahal mo ba ako?”

At sumagot siya, “Panginoon, alam po ninyo ang lahat ng bagay; alam ninyong mahal ko kayo.”

Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Pakainin mo ang aking mga tupa. 18 Pakatandaan mo: noong bata ka pa, ikaw ang nagbibihis sa iyong sarili at pumupunta ka kung saan mo gusto. Ngunit pagtanda mo, iuunat mo ang iyong mga kamay at iba ang magbibihis sa iyo at dadalhin ka kung saan hindi mo gusto.” 19 Sinabi niya ito upang ipahiwatig kung paano mamamatay si Pedro at kung paano niya luluwalhatiin ang Diyos. Pagkatapos, sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sumunod ka sa akin!”

Ang Alagad na Minamahal ni Jesus

20 Lumingon(C) si Pedro at nakita niyang sumusunod ang alagad na minamahal ni Jesus, ang siyang humilig sa dibdib ni Jesus nang sila'y naghahapunan at nagtanong, “Panginoon, sino po ang magkakanulo sa inyo?” 21 Nang makita siya ni Pedro ay tinanong nito si Jesus, “Panginoon, paano po naman ang taong ito?”

22 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung nais kong mabuhay siya hanggang sa pagbabalik ko, ano sa iyo? Sumunod ka sa akin!” 23 Kumalat sa mga kapatid sa pananampalataya ang balitang hindi mamamatay ang alagad na ito. Ngunit hindi naman sinabi ni Jesus na hindi siya mamamatay, kundi, “Kung nais kong mabuhay siya hanggang sa pagbabalik ko, [ano sa iyo]?[a]

24 Siya ang alagad na nagpapatotoo tungkol sa mga bagay na ito; siya rin ang sumulat ng mga ito at alam naming totoo ang kanyang pahayag.

Pagwawakas

25 At marami pang ginawa si Jesus na kung isusulat lahat, sa palagay ko'y hindi magkakasya kahit sa buong daigdig ang mga aklat na maisusulat.
