Epilogue: Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

21 Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee.[a] This is how it happened. Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),[b] Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.

Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.”

“We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.

At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was. He called out, “Fellows,[c] have you caught any fish?”

“No,” they replied.

Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.

Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards[d] from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.

10 “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus said. 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn’t torn.

12 “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. 14 This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.

15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?[e]

“Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.”

“Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him.

16 Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

“Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.”

“Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.

17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

18 “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others[f] will dress you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to let him know by what kind of death he would glorify God. Then Jesus told him, “Follow me.”

20 Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”

22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.” 23 So the rumor spread among the community of believers[g] that this disciple wouldn’t die. But that isn’t what Jesus said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

24 This disciple is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.

25 Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.

耶稣在提比哩亚海边显现

21 这些事以后,耶稣在提比哩亚海边又向门徒显现。他怎样显现记在下面。 西门彼得和称为低土马多马,并加利利迦拿拿但业,还有西庇太的两个儿子,又有两个门徒,都在一处。 西门彼得对他们说:“我打鱼去。”他们说:“我们也和你同去。”他们就出去,上了船,那一夜并没有打着什么。

得满网鱼

天将亮的时候,耶稣站在岸上,门徒却不知道是耶稣。 耶稣就对他们说:“小子,你们有吃的没有?”他们回答说:“没有。” 耶稣说:“你们把网撒在船的右边,就必得着。”他们便撒下网去,竟拉不上来了,因为鱼甚多。 耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说:“是主!”那时西门彼得赤着身子,一听见是主,就束上一件外衣,跳在海里。 其余的门徒离岸不远,约有二百肘[a],就在小船上把那网鱼拉过来。 他们上了岸,就看见那里有炭火,上面有鱼又有饼。 10 耶稣对他们说:“把刚才打的鱼拿几条来。” 11 西门彼得就去[b],把网拉到岸上。那网满了大鱼,共一百五十三条。鱼虽这样多,网却没有破。 12 耶稣说:“你们来吃早饭。”门徒中没有一个敢问他“你是谁?”,因为知道是主。 13 耶稣就来拿饼和鱼给他们。 14 耶稣从死里复活以后向门徒显现,这是第三次。

查彼得爱主之心

15 他们吃完了早饭,耶稣对西门彼得说:约翰[c]的儿子西门,你爱我比这些更深吗?”彼得说:“主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣对他说:“你喂养我的小羊。” 16 耶稣第二次又对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”彼得说:“主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“你牧养我的羊。” 17 第三次对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”彼得因为耶稣第三次对他说“你爱我吗”,就忧愁,对耶稣说:“主啊,你是无所不知的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“你喂养我的羊。 18 我实实在在地告诉你:你年少的时候,自己束上带子,随意往来;但年老的时候,你要伸出手来,别人要把你束上,带你到不愿意的地方。” 19 耶稣说这话,是指着彼得要怎样死荣耀神。说了这话,就对他说:“你跟从我吧!” 20 彼得转过来,看见耶稣所爱的那门徒跟着,就是在晚饭的时候靠着耶稣胸膛,说“主啊,卖你的是谁”的那门徒。 21 彼得看见他,就问耶稣说:“主啊,这人将来如何?” 22 耶稣对他说:“我若要他等到我来的时候,与你何干?你跟从我吧!” 23 于是这话传在弟兄中间,说那门徒不死。其实耶稣不是说他不死,乃是说:“我若要他等到我来的时候,与你何干?”

24 为这些事作见证,并且记载这些事的,就是这门徒。我们也知道他的见证是真的。

25 耶稣所行的事还有许多,若是一一地都写出来,我想,所写的书就是世界也容不下了。

耶穌在提比哩亞海邊顯現

21 這些事以後,耶穌在提比哩亞海邊又向門徒顯現。他怎樣顯現記在下面。 西門彼得和稱為低土馬多馬,並加利利迦拿拿但業,還有西庇太的兩個兒子,又有兩個門徒,都在一處。 西門彼得對他們說:「我打魚去。」他們說:「我們也和你同去。」他們就出去,上了船,那一夜並沒有打著什麼。

得滿網魚

天將亮的時候,耶穌站在岸上,門徒卻不知道是耶穌。 耶穌就對他們說:「小子,你們有吃的沒有?」他們回答說:「沒有。」 耶穌說:「你們把網撒在船的右邊,就必得著。」他們便撒下網去,竟拉不上來了,因為魚甚多。 耶穌所愛的那門徒對彼得說:「是主!」那時西門彼得赤著身子,一聽見是主,就束上一件外衣,跳在海裡。 其餘的門徒離岸不遠,約有二百肘[a],就在小船上把那網魚拉過來。 他們上了岸,就看見那裡有炭火,上面有魚又有餅。 10 耶穌對他們說:「把剛才打的魚拿幾條來。」 11 西門彼得就去[b],把網拉到岸上。那網滿了大魚,共一百五十三條。魚雖這樣多,網卻沒有破。 12 耶穌說:「你們來吃早飯。」門徒中沒有一個敢問他「你是誰?」,因為知道是主。 13 耶穌就來拿餅和魚給他們。 14 耶穌從死裡復活以後向門徒顯現,這是第三次。

查彼得愛主之心

15 他們吃完了早飯,耶穌對西門彼得說:約翰[c]的兒子西門,你愛我比這些更深嗎?」彼得說:「主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。」耶穌對他說:「你餵養我的小羊。」 16 耶穌第二次又對他說:約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」彼得說:「主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。」耶穌說:「你牧養我的羊。」 17 第三次對他說:約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說「你愛我嗎」,就憂愁,對耶穌說:「主啊,你是無所不知的,你知道我愛你。」耶穌說:「你餵養我的羊。 18 我實實在在地告訴你:你年少的時候,自己束上帶子,隨意往來;但年老的時候,你要伸出手來,別人要把你束上,帶你到不願意的地方。」 19 耶穌說這話,是指著彼得要怎樣死榮耀神。說了這話,就對他說:「你跟從我吧!」 20 彼得轉過來,看見耶穌所愛的那門徒跟著,就是在晚飯的時候靠著耶穌胸膛,說「主啊,賣你的是誰」的那門徒。 21 彼得看見他,就問耶穌說:「主啊,這人將來如何?」 22 耶穌對他說:「我若要他等到我來的時候,與你何干?你跟從我吧!」 23 於是這話傳在弟兄中間,說那門徒不死。其實耶穌不是說他不死,乃是說:「我若要他等到我來的時候,與你何干?」

24 為這些事作見證,並且記載這些事的,就是這門徒。我們也知道他的見證是真的。

25 耶穌所行的事還有許多,若是一一地都寫出來,我想,所寫的書就是世界也容不下了。
