JOH-21:1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the

disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he

[himself].

JOH-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.

JOH-21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say

unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered

into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

JOH-21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the

shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

JOH-21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?

They answered him, No.

JOH-21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side

of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now

they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

JOH-21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith 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.

JOH-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.

JOH-21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire

of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

JOH-21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have

now caught.

JOH-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.

JOH-21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of

the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was

the Lord.

JOH-21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them,

and fish likewise.

JOH-21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself

to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

JOH-21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,

Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith

unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith

unto him, Feed my lambs.

JOH-21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of

Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou

knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

JOH-21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of

Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto

him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,

thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus

saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

JOH-21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young,

thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but

when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and

another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest

not.

JOH-21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should

glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,

Follow me.

JOH-21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom

Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper,

 and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

JOH-21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what

[shall] this man [do]?

JOH-21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I

come, what [is that] to thee? follow thou me.

JOH-21:23 Then went this saying 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 thee?

JOH-21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things,

and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

JOH-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.
