Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee
21 After these things Jesus [a](A)manifested Himself (B)again to the disciples at the (C)Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, and (D)Thomas called [b]Didymus, and (E)Nathanael of (F)Cana in Galilee, and (G)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 will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and (H)that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not (I)know that it was Jesus. 5 So Jesus *said to them, “Children, (J)do you have [c]any fish?” They answered Him, “No.” 6 And He said to them, “(K)Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 7 (L)Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and cast himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about [d]two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.
9 So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal (M)fire in place and (N)fish placed on it, and bread. 10 Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the (O)fish which you have now caught.” 11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus Provides Breakfast
12 Jesus *said to them, “Come, have (P)breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus *came and *took (Q)the bread and *gave it to them, and the (R)fish likewise. 14 This is now the (S)third time that Jesus [e]was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
Peter’s Restoration and Commission
15 So when they had (T)finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you [f](U)love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [g]love You.” He *said to him, “Tend (V)My lambs.” 16 He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you [h]love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [i]love You.” He *said to him, “(W)Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you [j]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him (X)the third time, “Do you [k]love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, (Y)You know all things; You know that I [l]love You.” Jesus *said to him, “(Z)Tend My sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now this He said, (AA)signifying by (AB)what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “(AC)Follow Me!”
Jesus’ Command to Follow Him
20 Peter, turning around, *saw the (AD)disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had (AE)leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain (AF)until I come, what is that to you? You (AG)follow Me!” 23 Therefore this saying went out among (AH)the brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain (AI)until I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who (AJ)is bearing witness to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his witness is true.
25 And there are also (AK)many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written one after the other, I suppose that even the world itself *could not contain the books that *would be written.

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.

Conclusión (21,1-25)
Aparición junto al lago
21 Poco después, se apareció Jesús de nuevo a sus discípulos junto al lago de Tiberíades. El hecho ocurrió así: 2 estaban juntos Simón Pedro, Tomás “el Mellizo”, Natanael el de Caná de Galilea, los hijos de Zebedeo y otros dos discípulos. 3 Pedro les dijo:
— Me voy a pescar.
Los otros le contestaron:
— Vamos también nosotros contigo.
Salieron, pues, y subieron a la barca; pero aquella noche no lograron pescar nada. 4 Ya amanecía cuando se presentó Jesús a la orilla del lago, aunque los discípulos no lo reconocieron. 5 Jesús les dijo:
— Muchachos, ¿han pescado algo?
Ellos contestaron:
— No.
6 Él les dijo:
— Echen la red al lado derecho de la barca y encontrarán pescado.
Así lo hicieron, y la red se llenó de tal cantidad de peces, que apenas podían moverla. 7 El discípulo a quien Jesús tanto quería dijo entonces a Pedro:
— ¡Es el Señor!
Al oír Simón Pedro que era el Señor, se puso la túnica (pues estaba sólo con la ropa de pescar) y se lanzó al agua. 8 Los otros discípulos, como la distancia que los separaba de tierra era sólo de unos cien metros, llegaron a la orilla en la barca, arrastrando la red llena de peces. 9 Cuando llegaron a tierra, vieron un buen rescoldo de brasas, con un pescado sobre ellas, y pan. 10 Jesús les dijo:
— Traigan algunos de los peces que acaban de pescar.
11 Simón Pedro subió a la barca y sacó a tierra la red llena de peces; en total eran ciento cincuenta y tres peces grandes. Y, a pesar de ser tantos, no se rompió la red. 12 Jesús les dijo:
— Acérquense y coman.
A ninguno de los discípulos se le ocurrió preguntar: “¿Quién eres tú?”, porque sabían muy bien que era el Señor. 13 Jesús, por su parte, se acercó, tomó el pan y se lo repartió; y lo mismo hizo con los peces.
14 Esta fue la tercera vez que Jesús se apareció a sus discípulos después de haber resucitado.
Jesús y Pedro
15 Terminada la comida, Jesús preguntó a Pedro:
— Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas más que estos?
Pedro le contestó:
— Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero.
Jesús le dijo:
— Apacienta mis corderos.
16 Jesús volvió a preguntarle:
— Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas?
Pedro respondió:
— Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero.
Jesús le dijo:
— Cuida de mis ovejas.
17 Por tercera vez le preguntó Jesús:
— Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me quieres?
Pedro se entristeció al oír que le preguntaba por tercera vez si lo quería, y contestó:
— Señor, tú lo sabes todo, tú sabes que te quiero.
Entonces Jesús le dijo:
— Apacienta mis ovejas.
18 Y añadió:
— Te aseguro que cuando eras más joven, tú mismo te ajustabas la túnica con el cinturón e ibas a donde querías; pero, cuando seas viejo, tendrás que extender los brazos y será otro quien te atará y te conducirá a donde no quieras ir.
19 Jesús se expresó en estos términos para indicar la clase de muerte con la que Pedro daría gloria a Dios. Acto seguido dijo:
— Sígueme.
El discípulo amado
20 Pedro se volvió y vio que detrás de ellos venía el discípulo a quien Jesús tanto quería, el mismo que en la cena se había recostado sobre el pecho de Jesús y le había preguntado: “Señor, ¿quién es el que va a traicionarte?”. 21 Al verlo, Pedro preguntó a Jesús:
— Señor, y este, ¿qué suerte correrá?
22 Jesús le contestó:
— Si yo quiero que él quede hasta que yo vuelva, ¿a ti qué? Tú sígueme.
23 Estas palabras dieron pie para que entre los hermanos circulase el rumor de que este discípulo no iba a morir. Sin embargo, Jesús no dijo a Pedro que este discípulo no moriría; simplemente dijo: “Si yo quiero que él quede hasta que yo vuelva, ¿a ti qué?”.
Conclusión
24 Este discípulo es el mismo que da testimonio de todas estas cosas y las ha escrito. Y nosotros sabemos que dice la verdad.
25 Jesús hizo además otras muchas cosas; tantas que, si se intentara ponerlas por escrito una por una, pienso que ni en el mundo entero cabrían los libros que podrían escribirse.
