The risen Jesus and Peter

21 1-4 Later on, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples on the shore of Lake Tiberias, and he did it in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples were together, when Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “All right,” they replied, “we’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat and during the night caught nothing at all. But just as dawn began to break, Jesus stood there on the beach, although the disciples had no idea that it was Jesus.

“Have you caught anything, lads?” Jesus called out to them. “No,” they replied.

6-7a “Throw the net on the right side of the boat,” said Jesus, “and you’ll have a catch.” So they threw out the net and found that they were now not strong enough to pull it in because it was so full of fish! At this, the disciple that Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”

7b-11 Hearing this, Peter slipped on his clothes, for he had been naked, and plunged into the sea. The other disciples followed in the boat, for they were only about a hundred yards from the shore, dragging in the net full of fish. When they had landed, they saw that a charcoal fire was burning, with a fish placed on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring me some of the fish you’ve just caught.” So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three altogether. But in spite of the large number the net was not torn.

12 Then Jesus said to them, “Come and have your breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was; they knew it was the Lord.

13-14 Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them and gave them all fish as well. This is already the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples after his resurrection 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 others?” “Yes, Lord,” he replied, “you know that I am your friend.”

16 “Then feed my lambs,” returned Jesus. Then he said for the second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” returned Peter. “You know that I am your friend.”

17 “Then care for my sheep,” replied Jesus. Then for the third time, Jesus spoke to him and said, “Simon, son of John, are you my friend?” Peter was deeply hurt because Jesus’ third question to him was “Are you my friend?”, and he said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I am your friend!”

18 “Then feed my sheep,” Jesus said to him. “I tell you truly, Peter, that when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you liked, but when you are an old man, you are going to stretch out your hands and someone else will dress you and take you where you do not want to go.”

19 (He said this to show the kind of death—by crucifixion—by which Peter was going to honour God.) Then Jesus said to him, “You must follow me.”

20-21 Then Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following behind them. (He was the one who had his head on Jesus’ shoulder at supper and had asked, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”) So he said, “Yes, Lord, but what about him?”

22 “If it is my wish,” returned Jesus, “for him to stay until I come, is that your business, Peter? You must follow me.”

23 This gave rise to the saying among the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet, of course, Jesus did not say, “He will not die,”, but simply, “If it is my wish for him to stay until I come, is that your business?”

All the above was written by an eye-witness

24-25 Now it is this same disciple who is hereby giving his testimony to these things and has written them down. We know that his witness is reliable. Of course, there are many other things which Jesus did, and I suppose that if each one were written down in detail, there would not be room in the whole world for all the books that would have to be written.

Nagpakita si Jesus sa Kanyang Pitong Tagasunod

21 Pagkalipas ng ilang araw, muling nagpakita si Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya sa may lawa ng Tiberias. Ganito ang nangyari: Magkakasama noon sina Simon Pedro, Tomas na tinatawag na Kambal, Natanael na taga-Cana na bayan sa Galilea, mga anak ni Zebedee, at dalawa pang mga tagasunod. Sinabi ni Simon Pedro sa kanila, “Mangingisda ako.” Sumagot sila, “Sasama kami.” Kaya sumakay sila sa bangka at pumalaot. Pero wala silang nahuli nang gabing iyon. Nang madaling-araw na, may nakita silang nakatayo sa dalampasigan. Pero hindi nila nakilala na si Jesus iyon. Tinawag sila ni Jesus, “Mga kaibigan,[a] may huli ba kayo?” Sumagot sila, “Wala po.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ihulog nʼyo ang lambat sa gawing kanan ng bangka at makakahuli kayo.” Iyon nga ang ginawa nila. Halos hindi na nila mahila ang lambat sa dami ng nahuli nilang isda. Sinabi kay Pedro ng tagasunod na minamahal ni Jesus, “Ang Panginoon iyon!” Nang marinig ito ni Pedro, isinuot niya ang damit na hinubad niya, tumalon sa tubig, at lumangoy papunta sa dalampasigan. Ang ibang mga tagasunod na nasa bangka ay bumalik din sa dalampasigan na hila-hila ang lambat na puno ng isda, dahil mga 90 metro lang ang layo nila sa pampang. Pagdating nila sa dalampasigan, nakita nila roon ang nagbabagang uling na may nakasalang na isda, at ilang tinapay. 10 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Magdala kayo rito ng ilang isda na nahuli ninyo.” 11 Kaya sumampa sa bangka si Pedro at hinila papunta sa pampang ang lambat na puno ng malalaking isda na 153 lahat-lahat. Pero kahit ganoon karami ang isda, hindi nasira ang lambat. 12 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Mag-almusal na kayo.” Wala ni isa sa mga tagasunod ni Jesus ang nangahas magtanong kung sino siya dahil alam nila na siya ang Panginoon. 13 Kumuha si Jesus ng tinapay at ibinigay sa kanila. Ganoon din ang ginawa niya sa isda. 14 Ito na ang ikatlong pagpapakita ni Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya pagkatapos niyang mabuhay muli.

Si Jesus at si Pedro

15 Pagkatapos nilang mag-almusal, sinabi ni Jesus kay Simon Pedro, “Simon na anak ni Juan, mahal mo ba ako ng higit sa pagmamahal nila?” Sumagot si Pedro, “Opo, Panginoon, alam nʼyo po na mahal ko kayo.” Sinabi ni Jesus, “Alagaan mo ang aking mga tupa.” 16 Muling sinabi ni Jesus, “Simon na anak ni Juan, mahal mo ba ako?” Sumagot si Pedro, “Opo, Panginoon, alam nʼyo po na mahal ko kayo.” Sinabi ni Jesus, “Alagaan mo ang aking mga tupa.” 17 Sa ikatlong ulit ay sinabi ni Jesus, “Simon na anak ni Juan, mahal mo ba talaga ako?” Nasaktan si Pedro dahil tatlong beses na siyang tinanong kung mahal niya si Jesus. Kaya sumagot siya, “Panginoon, alam nʼyo po ang lahat ng bagay. Alam nʼyo rin po na mahal ko kayo.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Alagaan mo ang aking mga tupa. 18 Sinasabi ko sa iyo ang totoo, noong bata ka pa, ikaw mismo ang nagbibihis sa sarili mo, at pumupunta ka kung saan mo gusto. Pero pagtanda mo, iuunat mo ang mga kamay mo at iba na ang magbibihis sa iyo, at dadalhin ka sa lugar na hindi mo gusto.” 19 (Sinabi ito ni Jesus para ipahiwatig kung anong klaseng kamatayan ang daranasin ni Pedro upang maparangalan ang Panginoon.) Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus kay Pedro, “Sumunod ka sa akin.”

Ang Tagasunod na Minamahal ni Jesus

20 Nang lumingon si Pedro, nakita niyang sumusunod sa kanila ang tagasunod na minamahal ni Jesus. (Siya ang tagasunod na nakasandal kay Jesus nang naghahapunan sila, at siya ang nagtanong kay Jesus kung sino ang magtatraydor sa kanya.) 21 Nang makita siya ni Pedro, nagtanong siya, “Panginoon, paano naman po siya?” 22 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung gusto ko siyang mabuhay hanggang sa pagbalik ko, ano naman sa iyo? Sumunod ka lang sa akin.” 23 Dahil dito, kumalat ang balita na ang tagasunod na ito ay hindi mamamatay. Pero hindi sinabi ni Jesus na hindi siya mamamatay. Ang sinabi lang niya, “Kung gusto ko siyang mabuhay hanggang sa pagbalik ko, ano naman sa iyo?” 24 Ako ang tagasunod na nagpapatotoo sa mga bagay na ito, at siya ring sumulat nito. Alam ng iba na totoo ang sinasabi ko. 25 Marami pang mga bagay ang ginawa ni Jesus. Kung isusulat ang lahat ng ito, palagay koʼy hindi magkakasya sa buong mundo ang lahat ng aklat na maisusulat.

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,(A) by the Sea of Galilee.[a](B) It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas(C) (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael(D) from Cana in Galilee,(E) the sons of Zebedee,(F) and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.(G)

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.(H)

He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.(I)

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved(J) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[c] When they landed, they saw a fire(K) of burning coals there with fish on it,(L) and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.(M) 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples(N) after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”(O)

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”(P)

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”(Q)

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”(R) He said, “Lord, you know all things;(S) you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(T) 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death(U) by which Peter would glorify God.(V) Then he said to him, “Follow me!”(W)

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved(X) was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)(Y) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,(Z) what is that to you? You must follow me.”(AA) 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers(AB) that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things(AC) and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.(AD)

25 Jesus did many other things as well.(AE) If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Breakfast by the Sea

21 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the (A)Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: Simon Peter, (B)Thomas called the Twin, (C)Nathanael of (D)Cana in Galilee, (E)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”

They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and [a]immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (F)did not know that it was Jesus. Then (G)Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

And He said to them, (H)“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.

Therefore (I)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 had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 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. 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 just caught.”

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 broken. 12 Jesus said to them, (J)“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 (K)the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

Jesus Restores Peter

15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [b]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [c]love You.”

He said to him, (L)“Feed My lambs.”

16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of [d]Jonah, do you love Me?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [e]love You.”

(M)He said to him, “Tend My (N)sheep.”

17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of [f]Jonah, do you [g]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

And he said to Him, “Lord, (O)You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 (P)Most assuredly, 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 (Q)by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, (R)“Follow Me.”

The Beloved Disciple and His Book

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple (S)whom Jesus loved following, (T)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 [h]will that he remain (U)till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”

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

24 This is the disciple who (V)testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

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