João 21

1 After these thingsIn that Christ is not only present here but also eats with his disciples, he gives a most full assurance of his resurrection.Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he [himself].

2 There were together Simon Peter, & Thomas, which is called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebedeus, and two other of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter said vnto them, I go a fishing. They said vnto him, We also will goe with thee. They went their way & entred into a ship straightway, and that night caught they nothing.

4 But when the morning was nowe come, Iesus stoode on the shore: neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus.

5 Iesus then said vnto them, Syrs, haue ye any meate? They answered him, No.

6 Then he said vnto them, Cast out the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall finde. So they cast out, & they were not able at all to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.

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'sIt was a linen garment which prevented him from swimming freely.coat [unto him], (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came by shippe (for they were not farre from land, but about two hundreth cubites) and they drewe the net with fishes.

9 Assoone then as they were come to land, they sawe hoate coales, and fish laide thereon, and bread.

10 Iesus saide vnto them, Bring of the fishes, which ye haue nowe caught.

11 Simon Peter stepped foorth and drewe the net to land, full of great fishes, an hundreth, fiftie and three: and albeit there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

12 Iesus saide vnto them, Come, and dine; none of the disciples durst aske him, Who art thou? seeing they knewe that he was the Lord.

13 Iesus then came and tooke bread, and gaue them, and fish likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Iesus shewed himselfe to his disciples, after that he was risen againe from the dead.

15 Peter by this triple confession is restored into his former position from where he fell by his triple denial: and furthermore it is proclaimed that he is indeed a pastor, who shows his love to Christ in feeding his sheep.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.

16 He said to him againe the second time, Simon the sonne of Iona, louest thou me? He said vnto him, Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue thee. He said vnto him, Feede my sheepe.

17 He saith unto him theIt was appropriate that he that had denied him three times should confess him three times, so that Peter might neither doubt the forgiveness of his grievous sin, nor his being restored to the office of the apostleship.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.

18 The violent death of Peter is foretold.Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thouThose that took long trips, especially in the east and in those places where the people used long garments, needed to be girded and fastened up.girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shallHe meant that kind of girding which is used with captives, when they are bound fast with cords and chains, as one would say, «Now you gird yourself as you think best, to go where you want to go, but the time will come when you will not gird yourself with a girdle, but another will bind you with chains, and carry you where you would not.»gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldestNot that Peter suffered anything for the truth of God against his will, for we read that he came with joy and gladness when he returned from the council where he was whipped, but because this will comes not from the flesh, but from the gift of the Spirit who is given to us from above, therefore he shows that there should be a certain striving and conflict or repugnancy, which also is in us, in all our sufferings as touching the flesh.not.

19 This spake he, signifying byThat is, that Peter would die by a violent death.what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

20 We must take heed that while we cast our eyes upon others that we do not neglect that which we are commanded to do.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?

21 When Peter therefore sawe him, he saide to Iesus, Lord, what shall this man doe?

22 Iesus said vnto him, If I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee? followe thou me.

23 Then went this worde abroade among the brethren, that this disciple shoulde not die. Yet Iesus saide not to him, He shall not die: but if I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee?

24 The history of Christ is truly and cautiously written: not for the curiosity of men, but for the salvation of the godly.This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25 Nowe there are also many other things which Iesus did, the which if they should be written euery one, I suppose the world coulde not conteine the bookes that shoulde be written, Amen.
