1 Depois disso, Jesus apareceu novamente a seus discípulos junto ao mar de Tiberíades. Foi assim que aconteceu: 2 estavam ali Simão Pedro, Tomé, apelidado de Gêmeo, Natanael, de Caná da Galileia, os filhos de Zebedeu e outros dois discípulos.

3 Simão Pedro disse: "Vou pescar".

"Nós também vamos", disseram os outros. Assim, entraram no barco e foram, mas não pegaram coisa alguma a noite toda.

4 Ao amanhecer, Jesus estava na praia, mas os discípulos não o reconheceram. 5 Ele perguntou: "Filhos, por acaso vocês têm peixe para comer?".

"Não", responderam eles.

6 Então ele disse: "Lancem a rede para o lado direito do barco e pegarão". Fizeram assim e não conseguiam recolher a rede, de tão cheia de peixes que estava.

7 O discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: "É o Senhor!". Quando Simão Pedro ouviu que era o Senhor, vestiu a capa, pois a havia removido para trabalhar, e saltou na água. 8 Os outros ficaram no barco e puxaram até a praia a rede carregada, pois estavam a apenas uns noventa metros de distância. 9 Quando chegaram, encontraram um braseiro, no qual havia um peixe, e pão.

10 Jesus disse: "Tragam alguns dos peixes que vocês acabaram de pegar". 11 Simão Pedro entrou no barco e arrastou a rede para a praia. Havia 153 peixes grandes e, no entanto, a rede não arrebentou.

12 "Venham comer!", disse Jesus. Nenhum dos discípulos tinha coragem de perguntar: "Quem é você?", pois sabiam muito bem que era o Senhor. 13 Então Jesus lhes serviu o pão e o peixe. 14 Foi a terceira vez que Jesus apareceu a seus discípulos depois de ressuscitar dos mortos.

15 Depois da refeição, Jesus perguntou a Simão Pedro: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama mais do que estes?".

"Sim, Senhor", respondeu Pedro. "O senhor sabe que eu o amo".

"Então alimente meus cordeiros", disse Jesus.

16 Jesus repetiu a pergunta: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama?".

"Sim, Senhor", disse Pedro. "O senhor sabe que eu o amo".

"Então cuide de minhas ovelhas", disse Jesus.

17 Pela terceira vez, ele perguntou: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama?".

Pedro ficou triste porque Jesus fez a pergunta pela terceira vez e disse: "O Senhor sabe todas as coisas. Sabe que eu o amo".

Jesus disse: "Então alimente minhas ovelhas.

18 "Eu lhe digo a verdade: quando você era jovem, podia agir como bem entendia; vestia-se e ia aonde queria. Mas, quando for velho, estenderá as mãos e outros o vestirão e o levarão aonde você não quer ir". 19 Jesus disse isso para informá-lo com que tipo de morte ele iria glorificar a Deus. Então Jesus lhe disse: "Siga-me".

20 Pedro se virou e viu atrás deles o discípulo a quem Jesus amava, aquele que havia se reclinado perto de Jesus durante a ceia e perguntado: "Senhor, quem o trairá?". 21 Pedro perguntou a Jesus: "Senhor, e quanto a ele?".

22 Jesus respondeu: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até eu voltar, o que lhe importa? Quanto a você, siga-me". 23 Por isso espalhou-se entre a comunidade dos irmãos o rumor de que esse discípulo não morreria. Não foi isso, porém, o que Jesus disse. Ele apenas disse: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até eu voltar, o que lhe importa?".

24 Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho destes acontecimentos e que os registrou aqui. E sabemos que seu relato é fiel.

25 Jesus também fez muitas outras coisas. Se todas fossem registradas, suponho que nem o mundo inteiro poderia conter todos 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.
