The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 21
{21:1} After these things, Yeshua revealed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. {21:2}
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and
the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
{21:3} 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.
{21:4} But when day had already come, Yeshua stood on the beach, yet
the disciples didn't know that it was Yeshua. {21:5} Yeshua therefore
said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?"
They answered him, "No."
{21:6} 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. {21:7} That disciple therefore whom Yeshua
loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!"
So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat
around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. {21:8}
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far
from the land, but about [1>]two hundred cubits[<1] away), dragging
the net full of fish. {21:9} So when they got out on the land, they
saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. {21:10}
Yeshua said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just
caught."
{21:11} Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great
fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the
net wasn't torn.
{21:12} Yeshua said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing
that it was the Lord.
{21:13} Then Yeshua came and took the bread, gave it to them, and
the fish likewise. {21:14} This is now the third time that Yeshua was
revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. {21:15}
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Yeshua 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." {21:16} 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." {21:17} 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."
Yeshua said to him, "Feed my sheep. {21:18} 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."
{21:19} 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."
{21:20} Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This
was the disciple whom Yeshua sincerely loved, the one who had also
leaned on Yeshua's breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going
to betray You?" {21:21} Peter seeing him, said to Yeshua, "Lord, what
about this man?"
{21:22} Yeshua said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come,
what is that to you? You follow me." {21:23} This saying therefore
went out among the [2>]brothers[<2], that this disciple wouldn't die.
Yet Yeshua 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?" {21:24} This is the
disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We
know that his witness is true. {21:25} There are also many other
things which Yeshua 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.
