1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, We are coming with you also. They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus said to them, Children, you do not have any fish, do you? They answered Him, No.

6 And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some. So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he was naked), and plunged into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.

9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have caught now.

11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12 Jesus said to them, Come and eat breakfast. Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, Who are You? knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

15 So when they had eaten 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 am deeply fond of 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 am deeply fond of You. He said to him, Tend My sheep.

17 He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, are you deeply fond of Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, Are you deeply fond of Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You discern all things; You know that I am deeply fond of You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.

19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, Follow Me.

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is the one who betrays You?

21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, But Lord, what about this man?

22 Jesus said to him, If I intend for him to remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.

23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple does not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but, If I intend for him to remain till I come, what is that to you?

24 This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and writes these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

1 Depois disso Jesus apareceu novamente aos seus discípulos, à margem do mar de Tiberíades. Foi assim:

2 Estavam juntos Simão Pedro; Tomé, chamado Dídimo; Natanael, de Caná da Galiléia; os filhos de Zebedeu; e dois outros discípulos.

3 "Vou pescar", disse-lhes Simão Pedro. E eles disseram: "Nós vamos com você". Eles foram e entraram no barco, mas naquela noite não pegaram nada.

4 Ao amanhecer, Jesus estava na praia, mas os discípulos não o reconheceram.

5 Ele lhes perguntou: "Filhos, vocês têm algo para comer? " "Não", responderam eles.

6 Ele disse: "Lancem a rede do lado direito do barco e vocês encontrarão". Eles a lançaram, e não conseguiam recolher a rede, tal era a quantidade de peixes.

7 O discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: "É o Senhor! " Simão Pedro, ouvindo-o dizer isso, vestiu a capa, pois a havia tirado, e lançou-se ao mar.

8 Os outros discípulos vieram no barco, arrastando a rede cheia de peixes, pois estavam apenas a cerca de noventa metros da praia.

9 Quando desembarcaram, viram ali uma fogueira, peixe sobre brasas, e um pouco de pão.

10 Disse-lhes Jesus: "Tragam alguns dos peixes que acabaram de pescar".

11 Simão Pedro entrou no barco e arrastou a rede para a praia. Ela estava cheia: tinha cento e cinqüenta e três grandes peixes. Embora houvesse tantos peixes, a rede não se rompeu.

12 Jesus lhes disse: "Venham comer". Nenhum dos discípulos tinha coragem de lhe perguntar: "Quem és tu? " Sabiam que era o Senhor.

13 Jesus aproximou-se, tomou o pão e o deu a eles, fazendo o mesmo com o peixe.

14 Esta foi a terceira vez que Jesus apareceu aos seus discípulos, depois que ressuscitou dos mortos.

15 Depois de comerem, Jesus perguntou a Simão Pedro: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama realmente mais do que estes? " Disse ele: "Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo". Disse Jesus: "Cuide dos meus cordeiros".

16 Novamente Jesus disse: "Simão, filho de João, você realmente me ama? " Ele respondeu: "Sim, Senhor tu sabes que te amo". Disse Jesus: "Pastoreie as minhas ovelhas".

17 Pela terceira vez, ele lhe disse: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama? " Pedro ficou magoado por Jesus lhe ter perguntado pela terceira vez "Você me ama? " e lhe disse: "Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas e sabes que te amo". Disse-lhe Jesus: "Cuide das minhas ovelhas.

18 Digo-lhe a verdade: Quando você era mais jovem, vestia-se e ia para onde queria; mas quando for velho, estenderá as mãos e outra pessoa o vestirá e o levará para onde você não deseja ir".

19 Jesus disse isso para indicar o tipo de morte com a qual Pedro iria glorificar a Deus. E então lhe disse: "Siga-me! "

20 Pedro voltou-se e viu que o discípulo a quem Jesus amava os seguia. ( Este era o que se inclinara para Jesus durante a ceia e perguntara: "Senhor, quem te irá trair? " )

21 Quando Pedro o viu, perguntou: "Senhor, e quanto a ele? "

22 Respondeu Jesus: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até que eu volte, o que lhe importa? Siga-me você".

23 Foi por isso que se espalhou entre os irmãos o rumor de que aquele discípulo não iria morrer. Mas Jesus não disse que ele não iria morrer; apenas disse: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até que eu volte, o que lhe importa? "

24 Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho dessas coisas e que as registrou. Sabemos que o seu testemunho é verdadeiro.

25 Jesus fez também muitas outras coisas. Se cada uma delas fosse escrita, penso que nem mesmo no mundo inteiro haveria espaço suficiente para os livros que seriam escritos.
