John 21

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

1AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 12revealedG5319 HimselfG1438 3againG3825 to the disciplesG3101 at the 4SeaG2281 of TiberiasG5085, and He revealedG5319 Himself inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779: 2SimonG4613 PeterG4074, 5ThomasG2381 whoG3588 was calledG3004 6DidymusG1324, 7NathanaelG3482 of 8CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056, 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 are alsoG2532 comingG2064 with you.” They wentG1831 outG1831 and gotG1684 into the boatG4143; and 10that nightG3571 they caughtG4084 nothingG3762.

4But when the dayG4405 was nowG2235 breakingG1096, 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 anyG5100 fishG4371 toG4371 eatG4371, do you?” They answeredG611 Him, “NoG3756.” 6And He saidG3004 to them, “13CastG906 the netG1350 on the right-handG1188 sideG3313 of the boatG4143, and you will findG2147 the fish.” SoG3767 they castG906 it, and thenG3765 they wereG2480 not ableG2480 to haulG1670 it in becauseG575 of the greatG4128 quantityG4128 of fishG2486. 714ThereforeG3767 that discipleG3101 whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “It is the LordG2962!” SoG3767 when SimonG4613 PeterG4074 heardG191 that it was the LordG2962, he putG1241 onG1241 his outerG1903 garmentG1903 (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 15twoG1250 hundredG1250 cubitsG4083 awayG575, draggingG4951 the netG1350 full of fishG2486.

9SoG3767 whenG5613 they gotG576 outG576 on the landG1093, they sawG991 a charcoalG439 16fireG439 already 17madeG2749 and 18fishG3795 placedG1945 on it, and breadG740. 10JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “BringG5342 someG575 of the 19fishG3795 whichG3739 you have nowG3568 caughtG4084.” 11SoG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 wentG305 upG305 and hauledG1670 the netG1350 to landG1093, fullG3324 of largeG3173 fishG2486, 153G4004G5140; and although there were soG5118 manyG5118, the netG1350 was not tornG4977.

Jesus Provides

12JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “ComeG1205 and haveG709 20breakfastG709.” NoneG3762 of the disciplesG3101 venturedG5111 to inquireG1833 of 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 was nowG2235 the 23thirdG5154 timeG5154 that JesusG2424 revealedG5319 Himself to the disciplesG3101, after He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498.

The Love Question

15NowG3767 whenG3753 they had 24finishedG709 breakfastG709, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 2526loveG25 Me moreG4183 than theseG3778?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 27loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “TendG1006 28My lambsG721.” 16He saidG3004 to him againG3825, a secondG1208 timeG1208, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 29loveG25 Me?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 30loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “31ShepherdG4165 My sheepG4263.” 17He saidG3004 to him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 32loveG5368 Me?” PeterG4074 was 33hurtG3076 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.

Our Times Are in His Hand

18TrulyG281, trulyG281 I tellG3004 you, whenG3753 you were youngerG3501, you used to putG2224 onG2224 your beltG2224 and walkG4043 whereverG3699 you wantedG2309; but whenG3752 you growG1095 oldG1095, you will stretchG1614 outG1614 your handsG5495 and someoneG243 elseG243 will putG2224 your beltG2224 onG2224 you, and bringG5342 you whereG3699 you do not wantG2309 to go.” 19NowG1161 He saidG3004 thisG3778, 39indicatingG4591 by 40whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 he would glorifyG1392 GodG2316. And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, He saidG3004 to him, “41FollowG190 Me!”

20PeterG4074 turnedG1994 aroundG1994 and sawG991 the 42discipleG3101 whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25 followingG190 them--the one whoG3739 alsoG2532 had 43leanedG377 backG377 on His chestG4738 at the supperG1173 and saidG3004, “LordG2962, whoG5101 is the one who is betrayingG3860 You?” 21SoG3767 PeterG4074, upon seeingG3708 him, saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “LordG2962, and whatG5101 about thisG3778 manG3778?” 22JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 him to remainG3306 44untilG2193 I comeG2064, whatG5101 is that to you? You 45followG190 Me!” 23ThereforeG3767 thisG3778 46accountG3056 wentG1831 outG1831 amongG1519 47the brothersG80, that that discipleG3101 would not dieG599; yetG1161 JesusG2424 did not sayG3004 to him that he would not dieG599, but only, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 him to remainG3306 48untilG2193 I comeG2064, whatG5101 is that to you?”

24ThisG3778 is the discipleG3101 who 49is testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 theseG3778 thingsG3778 and wroteG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and we knowG3609 that his testimonyG3141 is trueG227.

25But there are alsoG2532 50manyG4183 otherG243 thingsG4183 whichG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160, whichG3748, ifG1437 they were writtenG1125 in detailG1520, I expectG3633 that evenG3761 the worldG2889 itselfG846 would not containG5562 the booksG975 that would be writtenG1125.
