John 21 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

Jhn 21:1After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus:

Jhn 21:2

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

Jhn 21:3

Jhn 21:3Simon Peter saith to them, 'I go away to fish;' they say to him, 'We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing.

Jhn 21:4

Jhn 21:4And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;

Jhn 21:5

Jhn 21:5Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'Lads, have ye any meat?'

Jhn 21:6

Jhn 21:6they answered him, 'No;' and he said to them, 'Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes.

Jhn 21:7

Jhn 21:7That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, 'The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

Jhn 21:8

Jhn 21:8and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes;

Jhn 21:9

Jhn 21:9when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread.

Jhn 21:10

Jhn 21:10Jesus saith to them, 'Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;'

Jhn 21:11

Jhn 21:11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent.

Jesus Provides

Jhn 21:12

Jhn 21:12Jesus saith to them, 'Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, 'Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord;

Jhn 21:13

Jhn 21:13Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner;

Jhn 21:14

Jhn 21:14this is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead.

The Love Motivation

Jhn 21:15

Jhn 21:15When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Feed my lambs.'

Jhn 21:16

Jhn 21:16He saith to him again, a second time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Tend my sheep.'

Jhn 21:17

Jhn 21:17He saith to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, 'Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith 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 younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry thee whither thou dost not will;'

Jhn 21:19

Jhn 21:19and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, 'Be following me.'

Jhn 21:20

Jhn 21:20And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, 'Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

Jhn 21:21

Jhn 21:21Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, 'Lord, and what of this one?'

Jhn 21:22

Jhn 21:22Jesus saith to him, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

Jhn 21:23

Jhn 21:23yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?'

Jhn 21:24

Jhn 21:24this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.

Jhn 21:25

Jhn 21:25And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.
