1 Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing."They told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.
4 Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.
5 Jesus said to them, "Children, you don't have any fish, do you?"They answered him, "No."
6 He told them,"Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchsome." So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.
7 That disciple whom Jesus kept loving said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on his clothes, for he was practically naked, and jumped into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yards away from the shore.
9 When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread.
10 Jesus told them,"Bring me some of the fish you've just caught."
11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish—153 of them. And although there were so many of them, the net was not torn.
12 Then Jesus said to them,"Come, have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?", for they knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?"He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."Jesus told him,"Feed my lambs."
16 Then he said to him a second time,"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."Jesus told him,"Take care of my sheep."
17 He said to him a third time,"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"Peter was deeply hurt that he had said to him a third time,"Do you love me?"So he said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"Jesus told him,"Feed my sheep.
18 "Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."
19 Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God.After saying this, he told him,"Keep following me."
20 Peter turned around and noticed the disciple whom Jesus kept loving following them. He was the one who had put his head on Jesus’ chest at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?"
21 When Peter saw him, he said, "Lord, what about him?"
22 Jesus said to him,"If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you? You must keep following me!"
23 So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wasn't going to die, but,"If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you?"
24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them down. We know that his testimony is true.
25 Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.
1 Depois disso Jesus apareceu novamente aos seus discípulos, à margem do mar de Tiberíades. Foi assim:
2 Estavam juntos Simão Pedro; Tomé, chamado Dídimo; Natanael, de Caná da Galiléia; os filhos de Zebedeu; e dois outros discípulos.
3 "Vou pescar", disse-lhes Simão Pedro. E eles disseram: "Nós vamos com você". Eles foram e entraram no barco, mas naquela noite não pegaram nada.
4 Ao amanhecer, Jesus estava na praia, mas os discípulos não o reconheceram.
5 Ele lhes perguntou: "Filhos, vocês têm algo para comer? " "Não", responderam eles.
6 Ele disse: "Lancem a rede do lado direito do barco e vocês encontrarão". Eles a lançaram, e não conseguiam recolher a rede, tal era a quantidade de peixes.
7 O discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: "É o Senhor! " Simão Pedro, ouvindo-o dizer isso, vestiu a capa, pois a havia tirado, e lançou-se ao mar.
8 Os outros discípulos vieram no barco, arrastando a rede cheia de peixes, pois estavam apenas a cerca de noventa metros da praia.
9 Quando desembarcaram, viram ali uma fogueira, peixe sobre brasas, e um pouco de pão.
10 Disse-lhes Jesus: "Tragam alguns dos peixes que acabaram de pescar".
11 Simão Pedro entrou no barco e arrastou a rede para a praia. Ela estava cheia: tinha cento e cinqüenta e três grandes peixes. Embora houvesse tantos peixes, a rede não se rompeu.
12 Jesus lhes disse: "Venham comer". Nenhum dos discípulos tinha coragem de lhe perguntar: "Quem és tu? " Sabiam que era o Senhor.
13 Jesus aproximou-se, tomou o pão e o deu a eles, fazendo o mesmo com o peixe.
14 Esta foi a terceira vez que Jesus apareceu aos seus discípulos, depois que ressuscitou dos mortos.
15 Depois de comerem, Jesus perguntou a Simão Pedro: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama realmente mais do que estes? " Disse ele: "Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo". Disse Jesus: "Cuide dos meus cordeiros".
16 Novamente Jesus disse: "Simão, filho de João, você realmente me ama? " Ele respondeu: "Sim, Senhor tu sabes que te amo". Disse Jesus: "Pastoreie as minhas ovelhas".
17 Pela terceira vez, ele lhe disse: "Simão, filho de João, você me ama? " Pedro ficou magoado por Jesus lhe ter perguntado pela terceira vez "Você me ama? " e lhe disse: "Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas e sabes que te amo". Disse-lhe Jesus: "Cuide das minhas ovelhas.
18 Digo-lhe a verdade: Quando você era mais jovem, vestia-se e ia para onde queria; mas quando for velho, estenderá as mãos e outra pessoa o vestirá e o levará para onde você não deseja ir".
19 Jesus disse isso para indicar o tipo de morte com a qual Pedro iria glorificar a Deus. E então lhe disse: "Siga-me! "
20 Pedro voltou-se e viu que o discípulo a quem Jesus amava os seguia. ( Este era o que se inclinara para Jesus durante a ceia e perguntara: "Senhor, quem te irá trair? " )
21 Quando Pedro o viu, perguntou: "Senhor, e quanto a ele? "
22 Respondeu Jesus: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até que eu volte, o que lhe importa? Siga-me você".
23 Foi por isso que se espalhou entre os irmãos o rumor de que aquele discípulo não iria morrer. Mas Jesus não disse que ele não iria morrer; apenas disse: "Se eu quiser que ele permaneça vivo até que eu volte, o que lhe importa? "
24 Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho dessas coisas e que as registrou. Sabemos que o seu testemunho é verdadeiro.
25 Jesus fez também muitas outras coisas. Se cada uma delas fosse escrita, penso que nem mesmo no mundo inteiro haveria espaço suficiente para os livros que seriam escritos.
