John 21 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

After^G3326 these^G3778 things^G3778 Jesus^G2424 [fn]manifested^G5319 Himself^G1438 again^G3825 to the disciples^G3101 at the Sea^G2281 of Tiberias^G5085, and He manifested^G5319 Himself in^G3779 this^G3779 way^G3779.

Jhn 21:2

Jhn 21:2Simon Peter, and Thomas called [fn]Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

Jhn 21:3

Jhn 21:3Simon 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 that night they caught nothing.

Jhn 21:4

But when the day^G4407 was now^G2235 breaking^G1096, Jesus^G2424 stood^G2476 on the beach^G123; yet^G3305 the disciples^G3101 did not know^G6063 that it was Jesus^G2424.

Jhn 21:5

Jhn 21:5So Jesus *said to them, “Children, do you have [fn]any fish?” They answered Him, “No.”

Jhn 21:6

Jhn 21:6And He said to them, “Cast 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.

Jhn 21:7

Jhn 21:7Therefore 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.

Jhn 21:8

Jhn 21:8But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about [fn]two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

Jhn 21:9

So^G3767 when^G5613 they got^G576 out^G576 on the land^G1093, they *saw^G991 a charcoal^G439 fire^G439 in place^G2749 and fish^G3795 placed^G1945 on it, and bread^G740.

Jhn 21:10

Jhn 21:10Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.”

Jhn 21:11

Jhn 21:11Simon 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

Jhn 21:12

Jhn 21:12Jesus *said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord.

Jhn 21:13

Jhn 21:13Jesus *came and *took the bread and *gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

Jhn 21:14

Jhn 21:14This is now the third time that Jesus [fn]was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

Peter’s Restoration and Commission

Jhn 21:15

So^G3767 when^G3753 they had finished^G709 breakfast^G709, Jesus^G2424 *said^G3004 to Simon^G4613 Peter^G4074, “Simon^G4613, son of John^G2491, do you [fn]love^G25 Me more^G4183 than these^G3778?” He *said^G3004 to Him, “Yes^G3483, Lord^G2962; You know^G6063 that I [fn]love^G5368 You.” He *said^G3004 to him, “Tend^G1006 My lambs^G721.”

Jhn 21:16

Jhn 21:16He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you [fn]love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [fn]love You.” He *said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

Jhn 21:17

Jhn 21:17He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you [fn]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you [fn]love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I [fn]love You.” Jesus *said to him, “Tend My sheep.

Jhn 21:18

Jhn 21:18“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.”

Jhn 21:19

Jhn 21:19Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “Follow Me!”

Jesus’ Command to Follow Him

Jhn 21:20

Peter^G4074, turning^G1994 around^G1994, *saw^G991 the disciple^G3101 whom^G3739 Jesus^G2424 loved^G25 following^G190 them; the one who^G3739 also^G2532 had leaned^G377 back^G377 on His bosom^G4738 at the supper^G1173 and said^G3004, “Lord^G2962, who^G5101 is the one who betrays^G3860 You?”

Jhn 21:21

Jhn 21:21So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”

Jhn 21:22

Jhn 21:22Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

Jhn 21:23

Jhn 21:23Therefore this saying went out among the 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 until I come, what is that to you?”

Jhn 21:24

This^G3778 is the disciple^G3101 who is bearing^G3140 witness^G3140 to these^G3778 things^G3778 and wrote^G1125 these^G3778 things^G3778, and we know^G6063 that his witness^G3141 is true^G227.

Jhn 21:25

And there are also^G2532 many^G4183 other^G243 things^G4183 which^G3739 Jesus^G2424 did^G4160, which^G3748 if^G1437 they *were written^G1125 one after the other^G2956^G1520, I suppose^G3633 that even^G3761 the world^G2889 itself^G846 *could not contain^G5562 the books^G975 that *would be written^G1125.
