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.

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 Appears to Seven Disciples
21 After this Jesus (A)revealed himself (B)again to the disciples by (C)the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, (D)Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of (E)Cana in Galilee, (F)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 go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but (G)that night they caught nothing.
4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (H)did not know that it was Jesus. 5 (I)Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 (J)He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple (K)whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, (L)he put on his outer garment, for he was (M)stripped for work, and (N)threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards[a] off.
9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, (O)“Come and (P)have breakfast.” Now (Q)none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and (R)took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 (S)This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus and Peter
15 When they had (T)finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, (U)“Simon, (V)son of John, (W)do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed (X)my lambs.” 16 He said to him 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, (Y)“Tend (Z)my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him (AA)the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, (AB)you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed (AC)my sheep. 18 (AD)Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, (AE)you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show (AF)by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, (AG)“Follow me.”
Jesus and the Beloved Apostle
20 Peter turned and saw (AH)the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, (AI)the one who also had leaned back against him during 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 it is my will that he remain (AJ)until (AK)I come, what is that to you? (AL)You follow me!” 23 So the saying spread abroad among (AM)the brothers[b] that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple (AN)who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and (AO)we know (AP)that his testimony is true.
25 Now (AQ)there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that (AR)the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Ang Pagpapakita ni Jesus sa Pitong Alagad
21 Pagkatapos ng mga ito, muling nagpakita si Jesus sa mga alagad sa Lawa ng Tiberias. Sa gayong paraan nagpakita siya. 2 Naroon sina Simon Pedro, Tomas na tinatawag na Kambal, Nathanael ng Cana ng Galilea, ang mga anak ni Zebedeo, at dalawa pa sa kanyang mga alagad. 3 (A)Sinabi ni Simon Pedro sa kanila, “Mangingisda ako.” “Sasamahan ka namin,” sabi nila. Umalis sila at sumakay ng bangka. Subalit nang gabing iyon, wala silang nahuli.
4 Pagsapit ng bukang-liwayway, tumayo si Jesus sa tabing lawa; ngunit hindi alam ng mga alagad na siya ay si Jesus. 5 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Mga anak, may nahuli ba kayong isda?” Sumagot sila, “Wala.” 6 (B)Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ihagis ninyo ang lambat sa gawing kanan, at makahuhuli kayo.” Kaya ihinagis nga nila ito, at halos hindi na nila mahila ang lambat dahil sa dami ng huli. 7 Sinabi kay Pedro ng alagad na minamahal ni Jesus, “Siya ang Panginoon!” Nang marinig ni Pedro na iyon ay ang Panginoon, nagdamit siya, dahil siya'y hubad, at tumalon siya sa lawa. 8 Ngunit ang ibang mga alagad ay dumating sakay ng bangka, hila-hila ang lambat na punung-puno ng isda, dahil hindi naman sila kalayuan sa lupa, na halos siyamnapung metro ang layo.
9 Nang makarating sila sa pampang, nakakita sila ng uling na nagbabaga, may isda sa ibabaw nito, at mayroon ding tinapay. 10 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Magdala kayo ng isda na bagong huli ninyo.” 11 Kaya pumunta si Simon Pedro sa bangka at hinila papuntang pampang ang lambat na puno ng isda: isandaan at limampu't tatlong lahat. Kahit napakarami ng mga ito, hindi nasira ang lambat. 12 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Halikayo at mag-agahan.” Sinuman sa kanila ay hindi nagtangkang magtanong kung sino siya sapagkat alam nila na siya ang Panginoon. 13 Lumakad si Jesus, kinuha ang tinapay at ibinigay sa kanila, at ganoon din ang ginawa niya sa isda. 14 Ito ang ikatlong pagkakataon na nagpakita si Jesus sa mga alagad matapos siyang ibangon mula sa kamatayan.
15 Matapos mag-agahan, tinanong ni Jesus si Simon Pedro, “Simon, anak ni Juan, minamahal mo ba ako nang higit sa mga ito?” Sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Opo, Panginoon; alam mong minamahal kita.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pakainin mo ang aking mga tupa.” 16 Muling nagtanong si Jesus sa ikalawang pagkakataon, “Simon, anak ni Juan, minamahal mo ba ako?” Sinabi ni Pedro sa kanya, “Opo, Panginoon; alam mong minamahal kita.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Alagaan mo ang aking mga tupa.” 17 Muling nagtanong si Jesus sa ikatlong pagkakataon, “Simon, anak ni Juan, minamahal mo ba ako?” Nalungkot si Pedro dahil tatlong ulit na siyang tinanong ni Jesus, “Minamahal mo ba ako?” At sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Panginoon, alam mo ang lahat ng bagay; alam mong minamahal kita.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pakainin mo ang aking mga tupa. 18 Pakinggan mo ang sinasabi ko sa iyo: noong bata ka pa, binibihisan mo ang iyong sarili at pumupunta ka kung saan mo ibig. Ngunit pagtanda mo, iuunat mo ang iyong mga kamay, at iba ang magbibihis sa iyo at dadalhin ka kung saan hindi mo nais pumunta.” 19 Sinabi niya ito upang ipahiwatig kung paano siya mamamatay sa paraang maluluwalhati niya ang Diyos. Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Sumunod ka sa akin.”
Si Jesus at ang Minamahal na Alagad
20 (C)Lumingon si Pedro at nakita niyang sumusunod sa kanila ang alagad na minamahal ni Jesus. Siya ang nakaupo sa tabi ni Jesus noong hapunan at nagsabing, “Panginoon, sino po ang magkakanulo sa iyo?” 21 Nang makita siya ni Pedro, sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Panginoon, paano naman siya?” 22 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kung kalooban kong manatili siya hanggang sa pagdating ko, ano ito sa iyo? Sumunod ka sa akin!” 23 Kaya kumalat ang balita sa kapatiran na ang alagad na ito ay hindi mamamatay. Bagama't hindi sinabi ni Jesus na hindi siya mamamatay, kundi, “Kung kalooban kong manatili siya hanggang sa pagdating ko, ano ito sa iyo?”
24 Ito ang alagad na nagpapatunay sa mga bagay na ito at isinulat niya ang mga ito, at alam natin na tunay ang kanyang patotoo. 25 Marami pang ibang ginawa si Jesus at kung ang lahat ng ito ay isusulat, sa palagay ko'y hindi magkakasya sa mundong ito ang mga aklat na maisusulat.
