The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 21
{21:1} After these things, Yeshua revealed himself again to the
[1>]talmidim[<1] at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
{21:2} Shim`on Kefa, T'oma called Didymus, Natan'el of Kanah in the
Galil, and the sons of Zavdai, and two others of his [2>]talmidim[<2]
were together. {21:3} Shim`on Kefa said to them, "I'm going fishing."
They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went
forth, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
{21:4} But when day was now breaking, Yeshua stood on the beach, yet
the [3>]talmidim[<3] 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 therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in for
the multitude of fish. {21:7} That [4>]talmid[<4] therefore whom
Yeshua loved said to Kefa, "It's the Lord!"
So when Shim`on Kefa 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 [5>]talmidim[<5] came in the little boat (for they were
not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits 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} Shim`on Kefa 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 [6>]talmidim[<6] 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 [7>]talmidim[<7], after he had risen from the dead.
{21:15} So when they had eaten their breakfast, Yeshua said to Shim`on
Kefa, "Shim`on, son of Yonah, 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, "Shim`on, son of Yonah, 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 says to him the third
time, "Shim`on, son of Yonah, do you have affection for me?"
Kefa 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 assuredly 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 Kefa, turning around, saw a [8>]talmid[<8] following.
This was the [9>]talmid[<9] whom Yeshua sincerely loved, the one who
had also leaned on Yeshua' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who
is going to betray You?" {21:21} Kefa seeing him, said to Yeshua,
"Lord, and what will this man do?"
{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 forth among the brothers, that that [10>]talmid[<10] 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 [11>]talmid[<11] 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 contain the
books that would be written.
