| 21:1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and likewise showed he himself. | LATIN—GREEK (Ioannes GR.) mare Tiberiadis  thalasses tes Tiberiados | 1 Sometime later, Jesus showed Himself to the disciples again. The location was the Lake of Tiberias. He was revealed in the following manner: | Codex D/Bezae ends at ch. 20. IC = ENG.Jesus AR.Yeshua (GR. with interlinear LAT. from CESG: Codex “Delta”) Red letter believer: Ioannes Jesus: universal language |
| 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. | | 2 Simon Peter was in the company of Thomas (named, the Twin), and Nathana-el of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, together with two other disciples. * * | |
| 21:3 Simon Peter says unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with you. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. | | 3 When suddenly Peter said, "I want to go fishing." The others decided, "We will go along with you." So they all immediately boarded the boat, but caught nothing all night. | |
| 21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. | | 4 Just as the day was dawning, Jesus was standing on the shore: although the disciples did not recognize Him from a distance. | * |
| 21:5 Then Jesus says unto them, Children, have all of you any food? They answered him, No. | for eating [plus bread] προσφαγιον (4371) | 5 He called to them, saying, "Fellows, have you any food there?" "No," they replied. | |
| 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and all of you shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. | | 6 "Throw your net on the right side of the boat," He said, "and you will find the fish." They threw out the net on that side of the boat and they could not even haul in the net for the multitude of fish it contained. | |
| 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. | | 7 While talking with Peter, the disciple whom Jesus loved declared, "It is the LORD." Simon Peter had stripped down to work the net and when he heard these words, `It is the LORD,´ he hurriedly clothed himself and plunged into the water toward the shore. | |
| 21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. | | 8 The rest of the disciples being only a hundred yards away from the land approached the beach in the small boat dragging the net full of fish. | |
| 21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. | Fire of coals ανθρακιαν (439) | 9 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish broiling on it, and bread on the side. | (18:18) |
| 21:10 Jesus says unto them, Bring of the fish which all of you have now caught. | | 10 Following their arrival, Jesus called out, "Bring over some of the fish you just caught." | |
| 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. | | 11 Simon Peter went back on board the boat and drew the net to shore filled with large fish; although the fish were many, 153 in number, the net remained intact. | |
| 21:12 Jesus says unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. | | 12 Jesus then persuaded them, "Come and have some breakfast." None of the disciples would ask Him who He was, for they were sure He was the LORD. | |
| 21:13 Jesus then comes, and takes bread, and gives them, and fish likewise. | | 13 Jesus, Himself, began to serve them the bread along with the broiled fish. | |
| 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. | | 14 This represents the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was resurrected from the dead. | |
| 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me more than these? He says unto him, Yea, Lord; you know that I love you. He says unto him, Feed my lambs. | | 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked, "Simon, son of Jona, do you love me more than the others do?" He answered, "Yes, LORD, you know that I love you." Jesus replied, "So, feed my lambs." | |
| 21:16 He says to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? He says unto him, Yea, Lord; you know that I love you. He says unto him, Feed my sheep. | | 16 Again He asked, "Simon, son of Jona, do you really love me?" Peter's answer was, "Yes, LORD, you know that I love you dearly." This time Jesus replied, "Tend to my sheep." | |
| 21:17 He says unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Love you me? And he said unto him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus says unto him, Feed my sheep. | | 17 For a third time, He asked, "Simon, son of Jona, do you love me dearly?" Distressed, because Jesus questioned his love for the third time, Peter said, "LORD, you know everything, you must know that I love you dearly." Jesus responded, "Then you should feed my sheep. | |
| 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto you, When you were young, you gird yourself, and walked where you would: but when you shall be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you would not. | | 18 In all truthfulness, I tell you, when you were in your youth, you clothed yourself and went where you wanted to go: but when you are old, you shall extend your arms out and another person shall arrange your clothes and carry you where you would not go." | |
| 21:19 This spoke he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he says unto him, Follow me. | | 19 He spoke about the way in which the death of this disciple would glorify God. And He gave this admonition, "Follow me." | this disciple: Restored to fellowship. |
| 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrays you? | | 20 Then when Peter turned around, he saw this other disciple following them—that disciple whom Jesus especially loved, who also had leaned back on Jesus at supper and asked, `Who is it that will betray you?´ | |
| 21:21 Peter seeing him says to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? | | 21 Upon seeing the other disciple, Peter asked, "But LORD, what about this man?" | |
| 21:22 Jesus says unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? follow you me. | | 22 Jesus said, "If I direct him to remain until I come, what is your concern? Just follow me." | |
| 21:23 Then went this saying (o. logos) abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? | | 23 So, a report spread among His followers that this other disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not make such a declaration, He only avowed, what is your concern if he remains until I come? | |
| 21:24 This is the disciple which testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. | | 24 This is the disciple who has given an eye-witness testimony and has written down this history: and we all know that his testimony is true. | (19:35) |
| 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. | Scrolls [Biblia] Βιβλια (975) | 25 Still, there are many other things which Jesus did, the number of which, if they were all described in detail, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen, Amen. | |
