1. Later, Jesus showed himself again to his followers by Lake Galilee. This is how it happened:
|
1. After G3326 these things G5023 Jesus G2424 showed G5319 himself G1438 again G3825 to the G3588 disciples G3101 at G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 of Tiberias G5085 ; and G1161 on this wise G3779 showed G5319 he himself.
|
|
2. Some of the followers were together�Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedee, and two other followers.
|
2. There were G2258 together G3674 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 , and G2532 Thomas G2381 called G3004 Didymus G1324 , and G2532 Nathanael G3482 of G575 Cana G2580 in Galilee G1056 , and G2532 the G3588 sons of Zebedee G2199 , and G2532 two G1417 other G243 of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101 .
|
|
3. Simon Peter said, "I am going out to fish." The other followers said, "We will go with you." So all of them went out and got into the boat. They fished that night but caught nothing.
|
3. Simon G4613 Peter G4074 saith G3004 unto them G846 , I go G5217 a fishing G232 . They say G3004 unto him G846 , We G2249 also G2532 go G2064 with G4862 thee G4671 . They went forth G1831 , and G2532 entered G305 into G1519 a ship G4143 immediately G2117 : and G2532 that G1565 night G3571 they caught G4084 nothing G3762 .
|
|
4. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore. But the followers did not know it was Jesus.
|
4. But G1161 when the morning G4405 was now G2235 come G1096 , Jesus G2424 stood G2476 on G1519 the G3588 shore G123 : but G3305 the G3588 disciples G3101 knew G1492 not G3756 that G3754 it was G2076 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
5. Then he said to them, "Friends, have you caught any fish?" They answered, "No."
|
5. Then G3767 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Children G3813 , have G2192 ye any G3387 meat? They G4371 answered G611 him G846 , No G3756 .
|
|
6. He said, "Throw your net into the water on the right side of your boat. You will find some fish there." So they did this. They caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat.
|
6. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto them G846 , Cast G906 the G3588 net G1350 on G1519 the G3588 right G1188 side G3313 of the G3588 ship G4143 , and G2532 ye shall find. They G2147 cast G906 therefore G3767 , and G2532 now G2089 they were not able G2480 G3756 to draw G1670 it G846 for G575 the G3588 multitude G4128 of fishes G2486 .
|
|
7. The follower Jesus loved very much said to Peter, "That man is the Lord!" When Peter heard him say it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself. (He had taken his clothes off to work.) Then he jumped into the water.
|
7. Therefore G3767 that G1565 disciple G3101 whom G3739 Jesus G2424 loved G25 saith G3004 unto Peter G4074 , It is G2076 the G3588 Lord G2962 . Now G3767 when Simon G4613 Peter G4074 heard G191 that G3754 it was G2076 the G3588 Lord G2962 , he girt G1241 his fisher's coat G1903 unto him, ( for G1063 he was G2258 naked G1131 ,) and G2532 did cast G906 himself G1438 into G1519 the G3588 sea G2281 .
|
|
8. The other followers went to shore in the boat. They pulled the net full of fish. They were not very far from shore, only about 100 yards.
|
8. And G1161 the G3588 other G243 disciples G3101 came G2064 in a little ship G4142 ; ( for G1063 they were G2258 not G3756 far G3112 from G575 land G1093 , but G235 as it were G5613 two G575 hundred G1250 cubits G4083 ,) dragging G4951 the G3588 net G1350 with fishes G2486 .
|
|
9. When they stepped out of the boat and onto the shore, they saw a fire of hot coals. There were fish on the fire and some bread there too.
|
9. As soon then as G5613 G3767 they were come G576 to G1519 land G1093 , they saw G991 a fire of coals G439 there G2749 , and G2532 fish G3795 laid thereon G1945 , and G2532 bread G740 .
|
|
10. Then Jesus said, "Bring some of the fish that you caught."
|
10. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Bring G5342 of G575 the G3588 fish G3795 which G3739 ye have now G3568 caught G4084 .
|
|
11. Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net to the shore. It was full of big fish�153 of them! But even with that many fish, the net did not tear.
|
11. Simon G4613 Peter G4074 went up G305 , and G2532 drew G1670 the G3588 net G1350 to G1909 land G1093 full G3324 of great G3173 fishes G2486 , a hundred and fifty and three G1540 G4004 G5140 : and G2532 for all there were G5607 so many G5118 , yet was not G3756 the G3588 net G1350 broken G4977 .
|
|
12. Jesus said to them, "Come and eat." None of the followers would ask him, "Who are you?" They knew he was the Lord.
|
12. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Come G1205 and dine G709 . And G1161 none G3762 of the G3588 disciples G3101 durst G5111 ask G1833 him G846 , Who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 ? knowing G1492 that G3754 it was G2076 the G3588 Lord G2962 .
|
|
13. Jesus walked over to get the bread and gave it to them. He also gave them the fish.
|
13. Jesus G2424 then G3767 cometh G2064 , and G2532 taketh G2983 bread G740 , and G2532 giveth G1325 them G846 , and G2532 fish G3795 likewise G3668 .
|
|
14. This was now the third time Jesus showed himself to his followers after he was raised from death.
|
14. This G5124 is now G2235 the third time G5154 that Jesus G2424 showed G5319 himself to his G848 disciples G3101 , after that he was risen G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 .
|
|
15. When they finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these other men love me?" Peter answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Then Jesus said to him, "Take care of my lambs. "
|
15. So G3767 when G3753 they had dined G709 , Jesus G2424 saith G3004 to Simon G4613 Peter G4074 , Simon G4613 , son of Jona G2495 , lovest G25 thou me G3165 more G4119 than these? He G5130 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Yea G3483 , Lord G2962 ; thou G4771 knowest G1492 that G3754 I love G5368 thee G4571 . He saith G3004 unto him G846 , Feed G1006 my G3450 lambs G721 .
|
|
16. Again Jesus said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Then Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
|
16. He saith G3004 to him G846 again G3825 the second time G1208 , Simon G4613 , son of Jona G2495 , lovest G25 thou me? He G3165 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Yea G3483 , Lord G2962 ; thou G4771 knowest G1492 that G3754 I love G5368 thee G4571 . He saith G3004 unto him G846 , Feed G4165 my G3450 sheep G4263 .
|
|
17. A third time Jesus said, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was sad because Jesus asked him three times, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Take care of my sheep.
|
17. He saith G3004 unto him G846 the G3588 third time G5154 , Simon G4613 , son of Jona G2495 , lovest G5368 thou me G3165 ? Peter G4074 was grieved G3076 because G3754 he said G2036 unto him G846 the G3588 third time G5154 , Lovest G5368 thou me G3165 ? And G2532 he said G2036 unto him G846 , Lord G2962 , thou G4771 knowest G1097 all things G3956 ; thou G4771 knowest G1492 that G3754 I love G5368 thee G4571 . Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Feed G1006 my G3450 sheep G4263 .

18. The truth is, when you were young, you tied your own belt and went where you wanted. But when you are old, you will put out your hands, and someone else will tie your belt. They will lead you where you don't want to go."
|
18. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto thee G4671 , When G3753 thou wast G2258 young G3501 , thou girdedst G2224 thyself G4572 , and G2532 walkedst G4043 whither G3699 thou wouldest G2309 : but G1161 when G3752 thou shalt be old G1095 , thou shalt stretch forth G1614 thy G4675 hands G5495 , and G2532 another G243 shall gird G2224 thee G4571 , and G2532 carry G5342 thee whither G3699 thou wouldest G2309 not G3756 .
|
|
19. (Jesus said this to show how Peter would die to give glory to God.) Then he said to Peter, "Follow me!"
|
19. G1161 This G5124 spake G2036 he, signifying G4591 by what G4169 death G2288 he should glorify G1392 God G2316 . And G2532 when he had spoken G2036 this G5124 , he saith G3004 unto him G846 , Follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
20. Peter turned and saw the follower Jesus loved very much walking behind them. (This was the follower who had leaned against Jesus at the supper and said, "Lord, who is it that will hand you over?")
|
20. Then G1161 Peter G4074 , turning about G1994 , seeth G991 the G3588 disciple G3101 whom G3739 Jesus G2424 loved G25 following G190 ; which G3739 also G2532 leaned G377 on G1909 his G846 breast G4738 at G1722 supper G1173 , and G2532 said G2036 , Lord G2962 , which G5101 is G2076 he that betrayeth G3860 thee G4571 ?
|
|
21. When Peter saw him behind them he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
|
21. Peter G4074 seeing G1492 him G5126 saith G3004 to Jesus G2424 , Lord G2962 , and G1161 what G5101 shall this man G3778 do ?
|
|
22. Jesus answered, "Maybe I want him to live until I come. That should not matter to you. You follow me!"
|
22. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him G846 , If G1437 I will G2309 that he G846 tarry G3306 till G2193 I come G2064 , what G5101 is that to G4314 thee G4571 ? follow G190 thou G4771 me G3427 .
|
|
23. So a story spread among the followers of Jesus. They were saying that this follower would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He only said, "Maybe I want him to live until I come. That should not matter to you."
|
23. Then G3767 went this saying abroad G1831 G3778 G3056 among G1519 the G3588 brethren G80 , that G3754 that G1565 disciple G3101 should not G3756 die G599 : yet G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 not G3756 unto him G846 , He shall G3754 not G3756 die G599 ; but G235 , If G1437 I will G2309 that he G846 tarry G3306 till G2193 I come G2064 , what G5101 is that to G4314 thee G4571 ?
|
|
24. That follower is the one who is telling these things. He is the one who has now written them all down. We know that what he says is true.
|
24. This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 disciple G3101 which testifieth G3140 of G4012 these things G5023 , and G2532 wrote G1125 these things G5023 : and G2532 we know G1492 that G3754 his G846 testimony G3141 is G2076 true G227 .
|
|
25. There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I think the whole world would not be big enough for all the books that would be written.
|
25. And G1161 there are G2076 also G2532 many G4183 other things G243 which G3745 Jesus G2424 did G4160 , the which G3748 , if G1437 they should be written G1125 every one G2596 G1520 , I suppose G3633 that even the G3588 world G2889 itself G846 could not G3761 contain G5562 the G3588 books G975 that should be written G1125 . Amen G281 .
