John 21

After these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Now in this manner he showed himself:

they were together—Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus and Nathaniel from Cana of Galilee and the {sons} of Zebedee and two others from his disciples.

Simon Peter says to them, “I am going fishing.” They say to him, “We also are coming with you.” They went out and got into a boat, but they caught nothing during that night. \*

Now, when it was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it is Jesus.

Then Jesus says to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered him, “No.”

But he said to them, “Throw the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” Therefore, they threw {the net} and did not have the strength to draw it in, because of the large number of fish. \*

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Therefore, Simon Peter, having heard that it was the Lord, put on his outer garment (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.

But the other disciples came in the boat (for they were not far from the land, but about 200 cubits away), dragging the net of the fish.

Then when they got out upon the land, they see a charcoal fire kindled and a fish laid on it and a bread loaf. \*

Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you just caught.”

Therefore, Simon Peter went up and pulled the net to the shore, full of large fish; 153. But being so many, the net was not torn. \*

Jesus says to them, “Come, eat breakfast.” But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew that it is the Lord.

Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives {it} to them, and the fish in the same way.

This {was} already the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples, having been raised from the dead. \*

Then when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He says to him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”

He says to him again, a second {time}, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He says to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He says to him, “Take care of my sheep.” \*

He says to him the third {time}, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third {time}, “Do you love me?” And he says to him, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus says to him, “Feed my sheep.

Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you become old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry {you} where you do not want.” \*

Now he said this, indicating with what manner of death he will glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, “Follow me.” \*

Having turned around, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, who indeed leaned back against his chest at the dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?”

Therefore, having seen him, Peter says to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this one?” \*

Jesus says to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what {is that} to you? You follow me.”

So this word spread among the brothers, that that disciple does not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what {is that} to you?” \*

This is the disciple testifying about these things and the one having written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if each one were written down, I imagine not even the world itself to have enough room for the books being written.
