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.

1 Après cela, Jésus se fit encore voir aux disciples près de la mer de Tibériade, et il se fit voir de cette manière:

2 Simon Pierre, et Thomas, appelé Didyme, Nathanaël, qui était de Cana en Galilée, les fils de Zébédée et deux autres de ses disciples étaient ensemble.

3 Simon Pierre leur dit: Je vais pêcher. Ils lui dirent: Nous allons aussi avec toi. Ils sortirent, et entrèrent aussitôt dans la barque; mais ils ne prirent rien cette nuit-là.

4 Le matin étant venu, Jésus se trouva sur le rivage; mais les disciples ne savaient pas que c'était Jésus.

5 Jésus leur dit: Enfants, n'avez-vous rien à manger? Ils lui répondirent: Non.

6 Et il leur dit: Jetez le filet du côté droit de la barque, et vous trouverez. Ils le jetèrent donc, et ils ne pouvaient plus le retirer, à cause de la quantité de poissons.

7 C'est pourquoi le disciple que Jésus aimait, dit à Pierre: C'est le Seigneur! Et Simon Pierre apprenant que c'était le Seigneur, se ceignit de sa robe de dessus, car il était nu, et se jeta à la mer.

8 Mais les autres disciples vinrent avec la barque, traînant le filet plein de poissons, car ils n'étaient éloignés de terre que d'environ deux cents coudées.

9 Quand ils furent descendus à terre, ils virent de la braise qui était là, et du poisson dessus, et du pain.

10 Jésus leur dit: Apportez de ces poissons que vous avez pris maintenant.

11 Simon Pierre remonta, et tira le filet à terre, plein de cent cinquante-trois grands poissons, et quoiqu'il y en eût tant, le filet ne se rompit point.

12 Jésus leur dit: Venez dîner. Et aucun des disciples n'osait lui demander: Qui es-tu? sachant que c'était le Seigneur.

13 Jésus donc s'approcha, et prit du pain, et leur en donna, ainsi que du poisson.

14 C'était déjà la troisième fois que Jésus se faisait voir à ses disciples, après être ressuscité des morts.

15 Après qu'ils eurent dîné, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu plus que ceux-ci? Pierre répondit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime. Jésus lui dit: Soigne mes agneaux.

16 Il lui dit une seconde fois: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu? Pierre lui répondit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime. Jésus lui dit: Soigne mes brebis.

17 Il lui dit pour la troisième fois: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu? Pierre fut attristé de ce qu'il lui avait dit pour la troisième fois: M'aimes-tu? Et il lui dit: Seigneur, tu connais toutes choses, tu sais que je t'aime. Jésus lui dit: Soigne mes brebis.

18 En vérité, en vérité je te le dis; lorsque tu étais plus jeune, tu te ceignais toi-même, et tu allais où tu voulais; mais lorsque tu seras vieux, tu étendras tes mains, et un autre te ceindra, et te mènera où tu ne voudrais pas.

19 Or, il dit cela pour marquer par quelle mort Pierre glorifierait Dieu. Et après avoir ainsi parlé, il lui dit: Suis-moi.

20 Et Pierre s'étant retourné, vit venir après lui le disciple que Jésus aimait, celui qui, pendant le souper, s'était penché sur le sein de Jésus, et lui avait dit: Seigneur, qui est celui qui te trahit?

21 Pierre donc l'ayant vu, dit à Jésus: Seigneur, et celui-ci, que lui arrivera-t-il?

22 Jésus lui dit: Si je veux qu'il demeure jusqu'à ce que je vienne, que t'importe? Toi, suis-moi.

23 Cette parole se répandit donc parmi les frères, que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus ne lui avait pas dit: Il ne mourra point; mais: Si je veux qu'il demeure jusqu'à ce que je vienne, que t'importe?

24 C'est ce disciple qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites; et nous savons que son témoignage est véritable.

25 Il y a encore beaucoup d'autres choses que Jésus a faites, et si elles étaient écrites en détail, je ne pense pas que le monde même pût contenir les livres qu'on en écrirait. Amen.
