João 21

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,*21:2 or, Twin Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I’m going fishing."

They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. 4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?"

They answered him, "No."

6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some."

They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It’s the Lord!"

So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw 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*21:8 200 cubits is about 100 yards or about 91 meters away), dragging the net full of fish. 9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast!"

None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. 15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?"

He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you."

He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"

He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you."

He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?"

Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you."

Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go."

19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?" 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

22 Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me." 23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers*21:23 The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings." that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. 25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

Ka Kitea a Īhu e ngā Ākonga tokowhitu

1 Muri iho i ēnei mea ka whakakite a Īhu i a ia ki ngā ākonga i te moana o Taipiria; ko tāna whakakitenga tēnei. 2 E noho tahi ana a Haimona Pita, a Tamati, ko Ririmu nei tōna ingoa, a Natanahira o Kana o Karirī, ngā tama a Heperi, me tētahi tokorua atu anō o āna ākonga. 3 Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a rātou, "Ka haere ahau ki te hao."

Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ko tātou tahi e haere." Haere ana rātou, eke ana ki runga ki te kaipuke; ā, i taua pō kīhai i mau tētahi mea.

4 Nā, ka pūao te ata, ko Īhu e tū ana i tātahi; otiia, kīhai ngā ākonga i mōhio ko Īhu ia. 5 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a rātou, "E tama mā, kāhore ā koutou kai?"

Ka whakahokia e rātou ki a ia, "Kāhore."

6 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Makā te kupenga ki te taha matau o te kaipuke, ā, ka mau ētahi."

Nā, i tā rātou makanga atu, kīhai i taea te kukume i te tini o ngā ika.

7 Kātahi, ka mea te ākonga i arohaina e Īhu ki a Pita, "Ko te Ariki!" Ā, nō te rongonga o Haimona Pita, ko te Ariki, ka whītikiria tōna kākahu, e tū kau ana hoki ia, ā, rere ana ki te moana. 8 Ko ērā ākonga ia i hoe i runga i te poti, kīhai hoki i mamao atu i te whenua, me te mea e rua rau whatīanga, e kukume ana i te kupenga, i ngā ika. 9 Heoi, nō tō rātou ūnga ki uta, ka kite i te kāpura waro me ngā ika e takoto ana i runga, me tētahi taro. 10 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Hōmai ētahi o ngā ika kua mau nā i a koutou."

11 Nā, haere ana a Haimona Pita, ā, kūmea ana e ia te kupenga ki uta, kī tonu i ngā ika nunui, kotahi rau e rima tekau mā toru; ā, ahakoa tini, kīhai i pakaru te kupenga. 12 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Haere mai ki te kai." Heoi, kīhai tētahi o ngā ākonga i māia ki te ui ki a ia, "Ko wai koe?" I mōhio hoki ko te Ariki. 13 Nā, ka haere a Īhu, ka mau ki te taro, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki a rātou, me ngā ika.

14 Ko te toru tēnei o ngā putanga o Īhu ki āna ākonga, i muri i tōna aranga ake i te hunga mate.

Ko Īhu rāua ko Pita

15 Ā, ka mutu tā rātou kai, ka mea a Īhu ki a Haimona Pita, "E Haimona, tama a Hona, rahi atu rānei tōu aroha ki ahau i tō ēnei?"

Ka mea tērā ki a ia, "Āe, e te Ariki; e mōhio ana koe e aroha ana ahau ki a koe."

Ka mea ia ki a ia, "Whāngainga āku reme."

16 Ka mea anō ia ki a ia, ko te rua o ngā meatanga, "E Haimona, tama a Hona, e aroha ana koe ki ahau?"

Ka mea tērā ki a ia, "Āe, e te Ariki; e mōhio ana koe e aroha ana ahau ki a koe."

Ka mea ia ki a ia, "Hēparatia āku hipi."

17 Ka mea ia ki a ia, ko te toru o ngā meatanga, "E Haimona, tama a Hona, e aroha ana koe ki ahau?"

Ka pōuri a Pita nō te mea ka toru rawa āna meatanga ki a ia, "E aroha ana koe ki ahau?"

Ka mea anō ki a ia, "E te Ariki, e mōhio ana koe ki ngā mea katoa; e mōhio ana koe e aroha ana ahau ki a koe."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Whāngainga āku hipi. 18 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koe, i tōu tamarikitanga, i whītiki koe i a koe, i haere ki tāu wāhi i pai ai. Ka koroheketia koe, ka whakamārōtia e koe ōu ringa, he tangata kē hoki māna koe e whītiki, e kawe ki te wāhi e kore ai koe e pai." 19 (I kōrerotia tēnei e ia, hei tohu mō te mate e whakakorōria ai ia i te Atua.) Ā, ka puaki tēnei kupu ana, ka mea ia ki a ia, "Haere mai i muri i ahau."

Ko Īhu rāua ko tērā o ngā Ākonga

20 Nō te tahuritanga, o Pita, ka kite i te ākonga i aroha ai a Īhu e aru ana; ko tērā hoki i whakawhirinaki rā ki tōna uma i te hapa, i mea rā, "E te Ariki, ko wai te kaituku mōu?" 21 Ā, i te kitenga o Pita i a ia, ka mea ki a Īhu, "E te Ariki, e aha rā tēnei?"

22 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te pai ahau kia noho tonu ia kia tae mai rā anō ahau, hei aha māu? Haere mai koe i muri i ahau." 23 Heoi, ka puta atu tēnei kupu ki ngā hoa, e kore taua ākonga e mate. Otiia, kīhai a Īhu i mea ki a ia, "E kore ia e mate"; engari, "Ki te pai ahau kia noho tonu ia kia tae mai rā anō ahau, hei aha māu?"

24 Ko taua ākonga tēnei e whakaatu nei i ēnei mea, ko te kaituhituhi hoki ia i ēnei mea; e mōhio ana anō mātou e tika ana tāna whakaatu.

Whakamutunga

25 Nā, tērā atu anō tōna tini o ngā mea i mea ai a Īhu me i tuhia katoatia, e mea ana ahau, e kore pea te ao nei e whai takotoranga mō ngā pukapuka e tuhia.
