1 Depois disto manifestou-se Jesus outra vez aos discípulos junto do mar de Tiberíades; e manifestou-se assim:

2 Estavam juntos Simão Pedro, e Tomé, chamado Dídimo, e Natanael, que era de Caná da Galiléia, os filhos de Zebedeu, e outros dois dos seus discípulos.

3 Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Dizem-lhe eles: Também nós vamos contigo. Foram, e subiram logo para o barco, e naquela noite nada apanharam.

4 E, sendo já manhã, Jesus se apresentou na praia, mas os discípulos não conheceram que era Jesus.

5 Disse-lhes, pois, Jesus: Filhos, tendes alguma coisa de comer? Responderam-lhe: Não.

6 E ele lhes disse: Lançai a rede para o lado direito do barco, e achareis. Lançaram-na, pois, e já não a podiam tirar, pela multidão dos peixes.

7 Então aquele discípulo, a quem Jesus amava, disse a Pedro: É o Senhor. E, quando Simão Pedro ouviu que era o Senhor, cingiu-se com a túnica (porque estava nu) e lançou-se ao mar.

8 E os outros discípulos foram com o barco (porque não estavam distantes da terra senão quase duzentos côvados), levando a rede cheia de peixes.

9 Logo que desceram para terra, viram ali brasas, e um peixe posto em cima, e pão.

10 Disse-lhes Jesus: Trazei dos peixes que agora apanhastes.

11 Simão Pedro subiu e puxou a rede para terra, cheia de cento e cinqüenta e três grandes peixes e, sendo tantos, não se rompeu a rede.

12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, comei. E nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? sabendo que era o Senhor.

13 Chegou, pois, Jesus, e tomou o pão, e deu-lhes e, semelhantemente o peixe.

14 E já era a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos seus discípulos, depois de ter ressuscitado dentre os mortos.

15 E, depois de terem jantado, disse Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me mais do que estes? E ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeiros.

16 Tornou a dizer-lhe segunda vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Disse-lhe: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

17 Disse-lhe terceira vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Simão entristeceu-se por lhe ter dito terceira vez: Amas-me? E disse-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes tudo; tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

18 Na verdade, na verdade te digo que, quando eras mais moço, te cingias a ti mesmo, e andavas por onde querias; mas, quando já fores velho, estenderás as tuas mãos, e outro te cingirá, e te levará para onde tu não queiras.

19 E disse isto, significando com que morte havia ele de glorificar a Deus. E, dito isto, disse-lhe: Segue-me.

20 E Pedro, voltando-se, viu que o seguia aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava, e que na ceia se recostara também sobre o seu peito, e que dissera: Senhor, quem é que te há de trair?

21 Vendo Pedro a este, disse a Jesus: Senhor, e deste que será?

22 Disse-lhe Jesus: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti? Segue-me tu.

23 Divulgou-se, pois, entre os irmãos este dito, que aquele discípulo não havia de morrer. Jesus, porém, não lhe disse que não morreria, mas: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti?

24 Este é o discípulo que testifica destas coisas e as escreveu; e sabemos que o seu testemunho é verdadeiro.

25 Há, porém, ainda muitas outras coisas que Jesus fez; e se cada uma das quais fosse escrita, cuido que nem ainda o mundo todo poderia conter os livros que se escrevessem. Amém.

1 After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

2 Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.

4 Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

5 So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.

6 And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

7 So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.

8 And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

9 When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

11 So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.

12 Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

14 Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

15 Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

16 Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

17 He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

18 Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

19 Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

20 Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

21 Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

22 Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

23 So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

24 This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.

25 And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.
