After this Jesus arevealed Himself bagain to the disciples at the cSea of Tiberias . And He did it in this way:Mark 16:12; John 21:14John 20:19, 26John 6:1 2 Simon Peter, and aThomas who is called Didymus , and bNathanael from cCana of Galilee, as well as John and James dthe sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.John 11:16John 1:45ffJohn 2:1Matt 4:21; Mark 1:19; Luke 5:10 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said, “And we are coming with you.” So they went out and got into the boat; and 1athat night they caught nothing.Fishing at night was commonplace and normally productive.Luke 5:5
4 As morning was breaking, Jesus came and stood on the beach; however, the disciples did not aknow that it was Jesus.Luke 24:16; John 20:14 5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, do ayou have any fish to eat along with your bread?” They answered, “No.”Luke 24:41 6 And He said to them, “aCast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast the net, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great catch of fish.Luke 5:4ff 7 aThen that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer tunic (for he was stripped for work) and threw himself into the sea and swam ashore.John 13:23; 21:20 8 But the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
9 So when they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal afire set up and bfish on it cooking, and bread.John 18:18John 6:9, 11; 21:10, 13 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the afish which you have just caught.”John 6:9, 11; 21:9, 13 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have abreakfast.” None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew without any doubt that it was the Lord.John 21:15 13 Jesus came and took athe bread and gave it to them, and likewise the bfish.John 21:9John 6:9, 11; 21:9, 10 14 This was now the athird time that Jesus appeared to the disciples, after He had risen from the dead.John 20:19, 26
15 So when they had afinished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you blove Me more than these others do—with total commitment and devotion?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 1love You with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend.” Jesus said to him, “Feed cMy lambs.”As indicated by the amplifications, Peter uses a different Greek word for love (phileo) than Jesus does (agapao) in His first two questions to Peter (see note v 17).John 21:12Matt 26:33; Mark 14:29; John 13:37Luke 12:32 16 Again He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me with total commitment and devotion?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend.” Jesus said to him, “aShepherd My sheep.”Matt 2:6; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet 5:2; Rev 7:17 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me with a deep, personal affection for Me, as for a close friend?” Peter was grieved that He asked him athe third time, “Do you really 1love Me with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend?” And he said to Him, “Lord, bYou know everything; You know that I love You with a deep, personal affection, as for a close friend.” Jesus said to him, “cFeed My sheep.This time Jesus uses the same word for love that Peter previously used twice (phileo).John 13:38John 16:30John 21:15, 16
18 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and walked wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and arms, and someone else will dress you, and carry you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now He said this to aindicate the 1bkind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after saying this, He said to him, “cFollow Me walk the same path of life that I have walked!”Peter ministered some thirty years after the resurrection of Jesus. He was martyred in Rome by Emperor Nero in about A.D. 67. The Roman historian, Eusebius said that Peter was crucified upside down at his own request.John 12:33; 18:322 Pet 1:14Matt 8:22; 16:24; John 21:22
20 Peter turned and saw the 1adisciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had bleaned back on His chest at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?”John the Apostle. The mothers of Jesus and John, Mary and Salome, were related as sisters.John 21:7John 13:25 21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this 1man what is in his future?”It is believed that John was the only apostle to die of natural causes. He lived to the age of ninety-four and died in about A.D. 100. 22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay alive auntil I come again, what is that to you? You bfollow Me!”Matt 16:27f; 1 Cor 4:5; 11:26; James 5:7; Rev 2:25Matt 8:22; 16:24; John 21:19 23 So this word went out among athe brothers that this disciple was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but only, “If I want him to stay alive buntil I come again, what is that to you?”Acts 1:15Matt 16:27f; 1 Cor 4:5; 11:26; James 5:7; Rev 2:25
24 This is the same 1disciple who ais testifying to these things and has recorded them; and we know without any doubt that his testimony is true.John the Apostle, author of this Gospel.John 15:27
25 And there are also amany other things which Jesus did, which if they were recorded 1one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.Or in detail.John 20:30
