Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

After these things Jesus 1arevealed Himself bagain to the disciples at the cSea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself in this way: Simon Peter, aThomas who was called 1Didymus, bNathanael of cCana in Galilee, dthe sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter *said to them, “I am going fishing.” They *said to him, “We are also coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and athat night they caught nothing.

But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not aknow that it was Jesus. So Jesus *said to them, Children, ayou do not have any fish to eat, do you? They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, aCast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish. So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity of fish. aTherefore 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 garment (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about 1two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal afire already 1made and bfish placed on it, and bread. 10 Jesus *said to them, Bring some of the afish which you have now caught. 11 So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus Provides

12 Jesus *said to them, Come and have abreakfast. None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus *came and *took athe bread and *gave it to them, and the bfish likewise. 14 This was now the athird time that Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

The Love Question

15 Now when they had afinished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you 1blove Me more than these? He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 2love You.” He *said to him, Tend cMy lambs. 16 He *said to him again, a second time, Simon, son of John, do you 1love Me? He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 2love You.” He *said to him, aShepherd My sheep. 17 He *said to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you 1love Me? Peter was 2hurt because He said to him athe third time, Do you 3love Me? And he said to Him, “Lord, bYou know all things; You know that I 4love You.” Jesus *said to him, cTend My sheep.

Our Times Are in His Hand

18 Truly, truly I tell you, when you were younger, you used to put on your belt and walk wherever you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will put your belt on you, and bring you where you do not want to go. 19 Now He said this, aindicating by bwhat kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He *said to him, cFollow Me!

20 Peter turned around and *saw the adisciple whom Jesus loved following them—the one who also had bleaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?” 21 So Peter, upon seeing him, *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, If I want him to remain auntil I come, what is that to you? You bfollow Me! 23 Therefore this 1account went out among athe brothers, that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, If I want him to remain buntil I come, what is that to you?

24 This is the disciple who ais testifying about these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

25 But there are also amany other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I expect that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

After these things Jesus 1amanifested Himself bagain to the disciples at the cSea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. Simon Peter, and aThomas called 1Didymus, and bNathanael of cCana in Galilee, and dthe sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter *said to them, “I am going fishing.” They *said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and athat night they caught nothing.

But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not aknow that it was Jesus. So Jesus *said to them, Children, ado you have 1any fish? They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, aCast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. aTherefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and cast himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about 1two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal afire in place and bfish placed on it, and bread. 10 Jesus *said to them, Bring some of the afish which you have now caught. 11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus Provides Breakfast

12 Jesus *said to them, Come, have abreakfast. None of the disciples dared to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus *came and *took athe bread and *gave it to them, and the bfish likewise. 14 This is now the athird time that Jesus 1was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

Peter’s Restoration and Commission

15 So when they had afinished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you 1blove Me more than these? He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 2love You.” He *said to him, Tend cMy lambs. 16 He *said to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, do you 1love Me? He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 2love You.” He *said to him, aShepherd My sheep. 17 He *said to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you 1love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him athe third time, Do you 2love Me? And he said to Him, “Lord, bYou know all things; You know that I 3love You.” Jesus *said to him, cTend My sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go. 19 Now this He said, asignifying by bwhat kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, cFollow Me!

Jesus’ Command to Follow Him

20 Peter, turning around, *saw the adisciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had bleaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, If I want him to remain auntil I come, what is that to you? You bfollow Me! 23 Therefore this saying went out among athe brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, If I want him to remain buntil I come, what is that to you?

24 This is the disciple who ais bearing witness to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his witness is true.

25 And there are also amany other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written one after the other, I suppose that even the world itself *could not contain the books that *would be written.

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

After this Jesus arevealed Himself bagain to the disciples at the cSea of Tiberias (Galilee) . And He did it in this way: Simon Peter, and aThomas who is called Didymus (the twin) , and bNathanael from cCana of Galilee, as well as John and James dthe sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 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.

As morning was breaking, Jesus came and stood on the beach; however, the disciples did not aknow that it was Jesus. So Jesus said to them, Children, do ayou have any fish to eat along with your bread?” They answered, “No.” And He said to them, aCast the net on the right-hand side of the boat (starboard) 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. aThen that disciple (John) whom Jesus loved (esteemed) 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. 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.

So when they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal afire set up and bfish on it cooking, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, Bring some of the afish which you have just caught. 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.

Jesus Provides

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. 13 Jesus came and took athe bread and gave it to them, and likewise the bfish. 14 This was now the athird time that Jesus appeared to the disciples, after He had risen from the dead.

The Love Motivation

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. 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. 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.

Our Times Are in His Hand

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!”

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?” 21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this 1man what is in his future?” 22 Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay alive auntil I come again, what is that to you? You bfollow Me! 23 So this word went out among athe brothers that this disciple (John) 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?

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.

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.
