After these things, Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and◦ thus did He manifest Himself:
2
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.
3
Simon Peter says to them, I am going◦ out to fish◦. They say to him, We also come with◦ thee. They went··out▵, and straightway went··up into the ship; and in that night they caught▵ nothing.
4
But◦ when the morning had· already ·come▫, Jesus stood on the shore; however the disciples knew◦ not that it was Jesus.
5
Then Jesus says to them, Little··children, have you something to eat? They answered Him, No.
6
And◦ He said◦ to them, Cast the net on the right side* of the ship, and you shall find. They Cast therefore, and yet they had· not the ·strength to draw it for the multitude of fish.
7
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea.
8
But◦ the other disciples came by the boat, for◦ they were not far◦ from the land, but about▵ two··hundred cubits, dragging the net of fish.
9
As soon then as they stepped··down to land, they saw▫ a fire··of··coals laid, and a little··fish◦ laid on it, and bread.
10
Jesus says to them, Bring of the little··fish◦ which you have now caught▵.
11
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full▵ of great fish, a hundred fifty-three; and though there were so··many, the net was not ripped.
12
Jesus says to them, Come▵ and dine; and◦ none of the disciples dared ask▵ Him, Who◦ art Thou? knowing◦ that it was the Lord.
13
Jesus then comes, and takes the bread, and gives to them, and the little··fish◦ likewise.
14
This was already the third time Jesus was manifested to His disciples, being risen from the dead.
15
Then◦ when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou Me more than these? He says to Him, Yes, Lord; Thou knowest◦ that I love◦* Thee. He says to him, Feed◦ My lambs.
16
He says to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou Me? He says to Him, Yes, Lord; Thou knowest◦ that I love◦ Thee. He says to him, Shepherd My sheep.
17
He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest◦* thou Me? Peter sorrowed because He said◦ to him the third time, Lovest◦ thou Me? And he said◦ unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest◦ all things; Thou knowest that I love◦ Thee. Jesus says to him, Feed◦ My sheep.
18
Amen, Amen I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou didst will; but◦ when thou shalt be··old◦, thou shalt stretch out thy hands and another shall gird thee, and bring thee whither thou dost not will.
19
And◦ this He said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And saying this, He says to him, Follow Me.
20
But◦ Peter, turning, looks··at the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined▵ on His chest at supper and said, Lord, who is it who betrays Thee?*
21
Peter, seeing◦ him, says to Jesus, Lord, and◦ what is this?
22
Jesus says to him, If I will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou Me.*
23
Then went forth this saying among the brothers, that that disciple should not die; yet Jesus said not to him that he should not die, but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee?
24
This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and writes these things; and we know◦ that his testimony is true.
25
But◦ there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if every one of them should be written, I suppose◦ that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
