John 21:1-17
1AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 12manifestedG5319 HimselfG1438 3againG3825 to the disciplesG3101 at the 4SeaG2281 of TiberiasG5085, and He manifestedG5319 Himself in thisG3779 wayG3779. 2SimonG4613 PeterG4074, and 5ThomasG2381 calledG3004 6DidymusG1324, and 7NathanaelG3482 of 8CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056, and 9the sons of ZebedeeG2199, and twoG1417 othersG243 of His disciplesG3101 were togetherG3674. 3SimonG4613 PeterG4074 saidG3004 to them, “I am goingG5217 fishingG232.” They saidG3004 to him, “We will alsoG2532 comeG2064 with you.” They wentG1831 out and gotG1684 into the boatG4143; and 10that nightG3571 they caughtG4084 nothingG3762.
4But when the dayG4407 was nowG2235 breakingG1096G4407, JesusG2424 stoodG2476 on the beachG123; yetG3305 the disciplesG3101 did not 11knowG3609 that it was JesusG2424. 5SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “ChildrenG3813, 12you do not haveG2192 13anyG5100 fishG4371, do you?” They answeredG611 Him, “NoG3756.” 6And He saidG3004 to them, “14CastG906 the netG1350 on the right-handG1188 sideG3313 of the boatG4143 and you will findG2147 a catch.” SoG3767 they castG906, and thenG3765 they were not ableG2480 to haulG1670 it in becauseG575 of the greatG4128 numberG4128 of fishG2486. 715ThereforeG3767 that discipleG3101 whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “It is the LordG2962.” SoG3767 when SimonG4613 PeterG4074 heardG191 that it was the LordG2962, he putG1241 his outerG1903 garmentG1903 on (for he was strippedG1131 for work), and threwG906 himselfG1438 into the seaG2281. 8But the otherG243 disciplesG3101 cameG2064 in the littleG4142 boatG4142, for they were not farG3112 from the landG1093, but aboutG5613 16oneG1250 hundredG1250 yardsG4083 awayG575, draggingG4951 the netG1350 full of fishG2486.
9SoG3767 whenG5613 they gotG576 out on the landG1093, they sawG991 a charcoalG439 17fireG439 already laidG2749 and 18fishG3795 placedG1945 on it, and breadG740. 10JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “BringG5342 someG575 of the 19fishG3795 whichG3739 you have nowG3568 caughtG4084.” 11SimonG4613 PeterG4074 wentG305 up and drewG1670 the netG1350 to landG1093, fullG3324 of largeG3173 fishG2486, a hundredG1540 and fifty-threeG4004G5140; and although there were soG5118 manyG5118, the netG1350 was not tornG4977. 12JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “ComeG1205 and haveG709 20breakfastG709.” NoneG3762 of the disciplesG3101 venturedG5111 to questionG1833 Him, “WhoG5101 are You?” knowingG3609 that it was the LordG2962. 13JesusG2424 cameG2064 and tookG2983 21the breadG740 and gaveG1325 it to them, and the 22fishG3795 likewiseG3668. 14ThisG3778 is nowG2235 the 23thirdG5154 timeG5154 that JesusG2424 24was manifestedG5319 to the disciplesG3101, after He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498.
15SoG3767 whenG3753 they had 25finishedG709 breakfastG709, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 2627loveG25 Me moreG4183 than theseG3778?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 28loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “TendG1006 29My lambsG721.” 16He saidG3004 to him againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 30loveG25 Me?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 31loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “32ShepherdG4165 My sheepG4263.” 17He saidG3004 to him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 33loveG5368 Me?” PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 He saidG3004 to him 34the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “Do you 35loveG5368 Me?” And he saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, 36You knowG3609 allG3956 thingsG3956; You knowG1097 that I 37loveG5368 You.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “38TendG1006 My sheepG4263.
