Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
1 Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. 3 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing!”
The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in their boat. But they didn't catch a thing that night.
4 Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was. 5 Jesus shouted, “Friends, have you caught anything?”
“No!” they answered.
6 So he told them, “Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish.”
They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat.
7 Jesus' favorite disciple told Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon heard it was the Lord, he put on the clothes he had taken off while he was working. Then he jumped into the water. 8 The boat was only about 100 meters from shore. So the other disciples stayed in the boat and dragged in the net full of fish.
9 When the disciples got out of the boat, they saw some bread and a charcoal fire with fish on it. 10 Jesus told his disciples, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.” 11 Simon Peter got back into the boat and dragged the net to shore. In it were 153 large fish, but still the net did not rip.
12 Jesus said, “Come and eat!” But none of the disciples dared ask who he was. They knew he was the Lord. 13 Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave some of it to his disciples. He did the same with the fish. 14 This was the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death.
Jesus and Peter
15 When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than the others do?”
Simon Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I do!”
“Then feed my lambs,” Jesus said.
16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you!”
“Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus told him.
17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, “Lord, you know everything. You know I love you.”
Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep. 18 I tell you for certain that when you were a young man, you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will hold out your hands. Then others will wrap your belt around you and lead you where you don't want to go.”
19 Jesus said this to tell how Peter would die and bring honor to God. Then he said to Peter, “Follow me!”
Jesus and His Favorite Disciple
20 Peter turned and saw Jesus' favorite disciple following them. He was the same one who had sat next to Jesus at the meal and had asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw this disciple, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Jesus answered, “What is it to you, if I want him to live until I return? You must follow me.” 23 So the rumor spread among the other disciples that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He simply said, “What is it to you, if I want him to live until I return?”
24 This disciple is the one who told all of this. He wrote it, and we know he is telling the truth.
25 Jesus did many other things. If they were all written in books, I don't suppose there would be room enough in the whole world for all the books.
1 Pēc tam Jēzus vēlreiz parādījās mācekļiem pie Tiberijas jūras. Tas notika tā: 2 tur bija kopā Sīmanis Pēteris, Toms, saukts dvīnis, Nātānaēls no Kānas Galilejā, Cebedeja dēli un vēl divi citi Viņa mācekļi. 3 Sīmanis Pēteris viņiem saka: "Es iešu zvejot." Tie saka Viņam: "Mēs iesim Tev līdzi!" Tad tie aizgāja un iekāpa laivā, bet tanī naktī nekā nedabūja. 4 Rītam austot, Jēzus stāvēja krastā, bet mācekļi nezināja, ka tas ir Jēzus. 5 Tad Jēzus viņiem saka: "Bērni, vai jums ir kas ko ēst?" Tie Viņam atbildēja: "Nav!" 6 Viņš tiem sacīja: "Izmetiet tīklu laivas labajā pusē, tad jūs dabūsit!" Tad tie izmeta tīklu un vairs nevarēja viņu izvilkt aiz zivju daudzuma. 7 Tad māceklis, ko Jēzus mīlēja, saka Pēterim: "Tas ir Kungs!" Sīmanis Pēteris, dzirdēdams, ka Tas ir Kungs, apjoza virsdrēbes, jo viņš bija izģērbies, un metās jūrā. 8 Bet pārējie mācekļi nāca ar laivu, vilkdami tīklu ar zivīm, jo tie nebija tālu no krasta, bet tikai apmēram divi simti olekšu. 9 Izkāpuši malā, viņi tur redz ugunskuru no oglēm un uz tā zivis noliktas un maizi. 10 Jēzus viņiem saka: "Atnesiet no zivīm, ko jūs esat dabūjuši." 11 Tad Sīmanis Pēteris izkāpa malā un izvilka uz krasta tīklu, pilnu lielām zivīm, kopā simts piecdesmit trīs. Un, lai gan to bija tik daudz, tīkls nesaplīsa. 12 Jēzus viņiem saka: "Nāciet un turiet azaidu!" Bet neviens no mācekļiem nedrīkstēja Viņam jautāt: kas Tu esi? Jo tie gan zināja, ka Tas ir pats Kungs. 13 Tad Jēzus nāk, ņem maizi un dod to viņiem, tāpat arī zivis. 14 Šī bija trešā reize, kad Jēzus parādījās Saviem mācekļiem pēc Savas augšāmcelšanās no miroņiem. 15 Kad viņi azaidu bija turējuši, Jēzus saka Sīmanim Pēterim: "Sīmani, Jāņa dēls, vai tu Mani mīli vairāk nekā šie?" Tas Viņam saka: "Tiešām, Kungs, Tu zini, ka es Tevi mīlu!" Viņš saka tam: "Gani Manus jērus!" 16 Vēl otru reizi Viņš tam saka: "Sīmani, Jāņa dēls, vai tu Mani mīli?" Tas Viņam saka: "Tiešām, Kungs, Tu zini, ka es Tevi mīlu!" Viņš saka tam: "Gani Manas avis!" 17 Trešo reizi Viņš tam saka: "Sīmani, Jāņa dēls, vai tu Mani mīli?" Pēteris noskuma, ka Viņš trešo reizi viņam sacīja: vai tu Mani mīli? - un sacīja Viņam: "Kungs, Tu zini visas lietas, Tu zini, ka es Tevi mīlu." Jēzus saka: "Gani Manas avis! 18 Patiesi, patiesi Es tev saku: jauns būdams, tu pats jozies un gāji, kur gribēji. Kad tu būsi vecs, tu izstiepsi savas rokas un cits tevi jozīs un vedīs tevi, kur tu negribi." 19 Bet to Viņš sacīja, norādīdams, kādā nāvē tas Dievu godinās. Un, to teicis, Viņš tam saka: "Seko Man!" 20 Apgriezies Pēteris ierauga līdzi nākam mācekli, ko Jēzus mīlēja, kas pie vakariņām bija noliecies pie Jēzus krūts un sacījis: Kungs, kurš ir tas, kas Tevi nodos? 21 To ieraudzījis, Pēteris saka Jēzum: "Bet kas būs ar šo, Kungs?" 22 Jēzus viņam saka: "Ja Es gribu, lai šis paliek, tiekāms Es nāku, kāda tev daļa? Tu seko Man!" 23 Tā izgāja šī valoda brāļu starpā: "Šis māceklis nemirs." Bet Jēzus viņam nebija sacījis: viņš nemirs, - bet: ja Es gribu, ka viņš paliek, tiekāms Es nāku, kāda tev daļa? 24 Tas ir tas māceklis, kas liecību dod par šīm lietām un kas šo visu ir uzrakstījis; un mēs zinām, ka viņa liecība ir patiesa. 25 Bet ir vēl daudz citu lietu, ko Jēzus ir darījis. Ja visas tās pēc kārtas aprakstītu, tad, man šķiet, visa pasaule nevarētu uzņemt sarakstītās grāmatas.
