- Kapitel 21 -

1
After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is how he showed himself:
2
Simon Peter was together with Thomas called Didymus, Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.
3
Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We, too, will come with you.” They went and got into a boat, but they caught nothing during the whole night.
4
Now, when it was already early in the morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.
5
So Jesus said to them, “Young men, do you have anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
6
He said to them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw their net and were not able to draw it in because of the large number of fish.
7
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied up his outer garment, for he was undressed, and threw himself into the sea.
8
The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits off, and they were pulling the net full of fish.
9
When they got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire there and fish laid on it, with bread.
10
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
11
Simon Peter then went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish; 153. There were so many, but the net was not torn.
12
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat 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 the fish also.
14
This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.

Jesus and Peter

15
After they ate breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” Peter said to him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16
He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter said to him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.”
17
He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
18
Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to clothe yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you become old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will clothe you and carry you where you will not want to go.”
19
Now Jesus said this in order to indicate with what kind of death Peter would glorify God. After he had said this, he said to Peter, “Follow me.”

Jesus and the Beloved Disciple

20
Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had also leaned back against the side of Jesus at the dinner and who had said, “Lord, who is the one who will betray you?”
21
Peter saw him and then said to Jesus, “Lord, what will this man do?”
22
Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you? Follow me.”
23
So this statement spread among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to Peter that the other disciple would not die, but, “If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you?”
24
This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
25
There are also many other things that Jesus did. If each one were written down, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
1
After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
2
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,(a) Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
3
Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
4
But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
5
Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
6
He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
7
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “Its the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
8
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits (b) away), dragging the net full of fish.
9
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
10
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
12
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
13
Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14
This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.

Jesus and Peter

15
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16
He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
17
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
18
Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
19
Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

Jesus and the Beloved Disciple

20
Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesusbreast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
21
Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22
Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
23
This saying therefore went out among the brothers(c) that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
24
This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
25
There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
