John 21 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

Jhn 21:1After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself thus.

Jhn 21:2

Jhn 21:2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Jhn 21:3

Jhn 21:3Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

Jhn 21:4

Jhn 21:4And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

Jhn 21:5

Jhn 21:5Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.

Jhn 21:6

Jhn 21:6And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.

Jhn 21:7

Jhn 21:7That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat on him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;

Jhn 21:8

Jhn 21:8and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes.

Jhn 21:9

Jhn 21:9When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

Jhn 21:10

Jhn 21:10Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.

Jhn 21:11

Jhn 21:11Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.

Jesus Provides

Jhn 21:12

Jhn 21:12Jesus says to them, Come and dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Jhn 21:13

Jhn 21:13Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

Jhn 21:14

Jhn 21:14This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among the dead.

The Love Motivation

Jhn 21:15

Jhn 21:15When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

Jhn 21:16

Jhn 21:16He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

Jhn 21:17

Jhn 21:17He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

Our Times Are in His Hand

Jhn 21:18

Jhn 21:18Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

Jhn 21:19

Jhn 21:19But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

Jhn 21:20

Jhn 21:20Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

Jhn 21:21

Jhn 21:21Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man?

Jhn 21:22

Jhn 21:22Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

Jhn 21:23

Jhn 21:23This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee?

Jhn 21:24

Jhn 21:24This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

Jhn 21:25

Jhn 21:25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
