Godbey - John - 21

21:1  After these things, Jesus again manifested Himself to His disciples, at the Sea of Tiberias; and He thus manifested Himself.

21:2  Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael the one from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples, were together.

21:3  Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to Him, We also go along with you. They went out, and entered into a ship, and that night caught nothing.

21:4  And it being now morning, Jesus stood on the shore: the disciples did not know that He is Jesus.

21:5  Then Jesus says to them; Little children, whether have you any meat? They respond to Him, No.

21:6  He says to them, Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find: then they cast it, and were not able to draw it on account of the multitude of the fishes.

21:7  Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, He is the Lord. Then Simon Peter hearing that He is the Lord, girded on his fishing-cloak (for he was unclothed), and cast Himself into the sea:

21:8  and the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits), drawing the net of the fishes.

21:9  Then when they came to the land, they see fire lying, and fish and bread lying on it.

21:10  Jesus said to them, Take from the fishes which you now caught.

21:11  And Simon Peter came up, and drew the net to the land, full of a hundred and fifty-three large fishes: and there being so many yet the net was not broken.

21:12  Jesus says to them, Come, take breakfast. But no one of the disciples dared to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that He is the Lord.

21:13  Jesus comes, and takes bread, and gives it to them, and fish likewise.

21:14  And this third time Jesus was already manifested to His disciples, having risen from the dead.

21:15  Then when they took breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter; Simon, the son of Jonah, dost thou love me with divine love more than these? He says to Him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee as a friend. He says to him; Feed my lambs.

21:16  Again He says to him a second time, Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me with divine love? He says to Him; Thou knowest that I love thee as a friend. He says to him; Shepherdize my sheeplings.

21:17  He says to him a third time; Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me as a friend? Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Do you love me as a friend? And he says to Him, Lord, thou knowest all things; and thou dost understand that I love thee as a friend. He says to Him, Feed my sheeplings.

21:18  Truly, truly, I say unto you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked about where you wished: but when you get old, you will reach forth your hands, and another will lead you, where you do not wish.

21:19  And He spoke this, signifying by what death he shall glorify God. And having spoken this, He says to him, Follow me.

21:20  And Peter turning sees the disciple, whom Jesus loved, following; who also leaned upon His breast in the supper, and said; Lord, who is the one having betrayed thee?

21:21  Then Peter seeing him says to Jesus; Lord, but what shall he do?

21:22  And Jesus says to him, If I wish him to tarry until I come, what is that to thee?

21:23  Then that word went out to the brethren that that disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die; but, If I wish him to tarry until I come.

21:24  This is the disciple witnessing concerning these things, and having written the same: and we know that his testimony is true.
