  • Epilogue: Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

    Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee.a This is how it happened.
  • Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

    After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested [himself] thus.
  • Several of the disciples were there — Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),b Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.
  • There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
  • Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.”
    “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.
  • Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.
  • At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was.
  • And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.
  • He called out, “Fellows,c have you caught any fish?”
    “No,” they replied.
  • Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.
  • Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.
  • And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.
  • Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore.
  • That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat [on him] (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;
  • The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yardsd from shore.
  • and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes.
  • When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them — fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.
  • When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
  • “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus said.
  • Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.
  • So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn’t torn.
  • Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.
  • “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
  • Jesus says to them, Come [and] dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
  • Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish.
  • Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.
  • This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.
  • This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among [the] dead.
  • After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?e
    “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.”
    “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him.
  • Jesus Reinstates Peter

    When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.
  • Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
    “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.”
    “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.
  • He says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.
  • A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
    Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”
    Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.
  • He says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.
  • “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and othersf will dress you and take you where you don’t want to go.”
  • Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.
  • Jesus said this to let him know by what kind of death he would glorify God. Then Jesus told him, “Follow me.”
  • But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.
  • Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved — the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?”
  • Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

    Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?
  • Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”
  • Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this [man]?
  • Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
  • Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.
  • So the rumor spread among the community of believersg that this disciple wouldn’t die. But that isn’t what Jesus said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
  • This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee?
  • This disciple is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.
  • This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.
  • Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.
  • And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.
