1 Depois disso, manifestou-se Jesus outra vez aos discípulos, junto ao mar de Tiberíades; e manifestou-se assim: 2 estavam juntos Simão Pedro, e Tomé, chamado Dídimo, e Natanael, que era de Caná da Galileia, e os filhos de Zebedeu, e outros dois dos seus discípulos. 3 Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Disseram-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 à direita 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 saltaram em 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 cinquenta e três grandes peixes; e, sendo tantos, não se rompeu a rede. 12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, jantai. E nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? Porque sabiam que era o Senhor. 13 Chegou, pois, Jesus, e tomou o pão, e deu-lho, e, semelhantemente, o peixe. 14 E já era a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos seus discípulos depois de ter ressuscitado dos 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 mãos, e outro te cingirá e te levará para onde tu não queiras. 19 E disse isso significando com que morte havia ele de glorificar a Deus. E, dito isso, 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 o dito de 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 dessas 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 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.
