1 Depois disto, tornou Jesus a manifestar-se aos discípulos junto do mar de Tiberíades; e foi assim que ele se manifestou: 2 estavam juntos Simão Pedro, Tomé, chamado Dídimo, Natanael, que era de Caná da Galileia, os filhos de Zebedeu e mais dois dos seus discípulos. 3 Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Disseram-lhe os outros: Também nós vamos contigo. Saíram, e entraram no barco, e, naquela noite, nada apanharam.

4 Mas, ao clarear da madrugada, estava Jesus na praia; todavia, os discípulos não reconheceram que era ele. 5 Perguntou-lhes Jesus: Filhos, tendes aí alguma coisa de comer? Responderam-lhe: Não. 6 Então, lhes disse: Lançai a rede à direita do barco e achareis. Assim fizeram e já não podiam puxar a rede, tão grande era a quantidade de peixes. 7 Aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: É o Senhor! Simão Pedro, ouvindo que era o Senhor, cingiu-se com sua veste, porque se havia despido, e lançou-se ao mar; 8 mas os outros discípulos vieram no barquinho puxando a rede com os peixes; porque não estavam distantes da terra senão quase duzentos côvados.

9 Ao saltarem em terra, viram ali umas brasas e, em cima, peixes; e havia também pão. 10 Disse-lhes Jesus: Trazei alguns dos peixes que acabastes de apanhar. 11 Simão Pedro entrou no barco e arrastou a rede para a terra, cheia de cento e cinquenta e três grandes peixes; e, não obstante serem tantos, a rede não se rompeu. 12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, comei. Nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? Porque sabiam que era o Senhor. 13 Veio Jesus, tomou o pão, e lhes deu, e, de igual modo, o peixe. 14 E já era esta a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos discípulos, depois de ressuscitado dentre os mortos.

15 Depois de terem comido, perguntou Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de João, amas-me mais do que estes outros? Ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Ele lhe disse: Apascenta os meus cordeiros. 16 Tornou a perguntar-lhe pela segunda vez: Simão, filho de João, tu me amas? Ele lhe respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Pastoreia as minhas ovelhas. 17 Pela terceira vez Jesus lhe perguntou: Simão, filho de João, tu me amas? Pedro entristeceu-se por ele lhe ter dito, pela terceira vez: Tu me amas? E respondeu-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas, tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus lhe disse: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas. 18 Em verdade, em verdade te digo que, quando eras mais moço, tu te cingias a ti mesmo e andavas por onde querias; quando, porém, fores velho, estenderás as mãos, e outro te cingirá e te levará para onde não queres. 19 Disse isto para significar com que gênero de morte Pedro havia de glorificar a Deus. Depois de assim falar, acrescentou-lhe: Segue-me. 20 Então, Pedro, voltando-se, viu que também o ia seguindo o discípulo a quem Jesus amava, o qual na ceia se reclinara sobre o peito de Jesus e perguntara: Senhor, quem é o traidor? 21 Vendo-o, pois, Pedro perguntou a Jesus: E quanto a este? 22 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se eu quero que ele permaneça até que eu venha, que te importa? Quanto a ti, segue-me. 23 Então, se tornou corrente entre os irmãos o dito de que aquele discípulo não morreria. Ora, Jesus não dissera que tal discípulo não morreria, mas: Se eu quero que ele permaneça até que eu venha, que te importa?

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

25 Há, porém, ainda muitas outras coisas que Jesus fez. Se todas elas fossem relatadas uma por uma, creio eu que nem no mundo inteiro caberiam os livros que seriam escritos.

1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself on this wise. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing. 4 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast 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 off), dragging the net full of fishes. 9 So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken. 11 Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent. 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 20 Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

24 This is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.

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.

1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. "It happened this way:

2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus "), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.

3 "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

5 He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered.

6 He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.

8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. [^3]

9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."

11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have 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 did the same with the fish.

14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

16 Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep.

18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")

21 When Peter saw him, he asked, "Lord, what about him?"

22 Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me."

23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?"

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
