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 Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing."They told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.4 Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.5 Jesus said to them, "Children, you don't have any fish, do you?"They answered him, "No."6 He told them,"Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchsome." So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.7 That disciple whom Jesus kept loving said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on his clothes, for he was practically naked, and jumped into the sea.8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yards away from the shore.9 When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread.10 Jesus told them,"Bring me some of the fish you've just caught."11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish—153 of them. And although there were so many of them, the net was not torn.12 Then Jesus said to them,"Come, have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?", for they knew it was the Lord.13 Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.14 This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?"He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."Jesus told him,"Feed my lambs."16 Then he said to him a second time,"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."Jesus told him,"Take care of my sheep."17 He said to him a third time,"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"Peter was deeply hurt that he had said to him a third time,"Do you love me?"So he said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"Jesus told him,"Feed my sheep.18 "Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."19 Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God.After saying this, he told him,"Keep following me."20 Peter turned around and noticed the disciple whom Jesus kept loving following them. He was the one who had put his head on Jesus’ chest at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?"21 When Peter saw him, he said, "Lord, what about him?"22 Jesus said to him,"If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you? You must keep following me!"23 So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wasn't going to die, but,"If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you?"24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them down. We know that his testimony is true.25 Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.
