John 21)

^21:1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself on this wise.^21:2 There was together Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two other of his disciples.^21:3 Simon Peter says to them, I am going to fish. They say to him, We also come with you*. They went forth and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing.^21:4 But when it had already become morning, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.^21:5 Jesus therefore says to them, Children, do you* have anything to eat? They answered him, No.^21:6 And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you* will find. Therefore they cast it and they were not able to draw it further from the crowd of fish.^21:7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved* says to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter having heard that it was the Lord, he girded his outer-garment around him (for* he _<8>was naked) and cast himself into the sea.^21:8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for* they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fish.^21:9 So when they got out upon the land, they see a coal-fire there and a fish laid on it and bread.^21:10 Jesus says to them, Bring of the fish which you* have now taken.^21:11 Simon Peter therefore went up and drew the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty three and though there were so many, the net was not torn.^21:12 Jesus says to them, Come and break your* fast. And none of the disciples dared to probe him, Who are you? Knowing that it was the Lord.^21:13 Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives to them and the fish similarly.^21:14 This is already the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

^21:15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you _<9>love* me more than these?

He says to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I _<10>love you as a friend.

He says to him, Feed my lambs.^21:16 He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you _<9>love* me?

He says to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I _<10>love you as a friend.

He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

^21:17 He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, Do you _<10>love me as a friend?

Peter was sorrowful because he said to him the third time, Do you _<10>love me as a friend? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I _<10>love you as a friend.

Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.^21:18 Truly, truly, I say to you, When you was young, you girded yourself and walked where you wish: but when you will be old, you will stretch forth your hands and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.^21:19 Now this he spoke signifying by what sort of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he says to him, Follow me.

^21:20 Peter, turning again, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved* following; who also reclined on his chest at the supper and said, Lord, who is he who is delivering you?^21:21 Peter therefore seeing him says to Jesus, Lord and what about this man?

^21:22 Jesus says to him, If I will for him to abide until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!

^21:23 This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that this disciple should not die: yet Jesus did not say to him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to you?

^21:24 This is the disciple who testifies concerning these things and wrote these things and we know that his witness is true.

^21:25 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 would not contain the books that should be written.

<8>21:7 - OR: had his undergarment on only. COMPARE: ch. 13.14, Is. 20.2, Mic. 1.8, 11.

<9>21:15, 16 Love* here is all giving love. (The Greek defined the various loves by different words.)

<10>21:15, 16, 17 Love here is a love of a friend.
