Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
1 After this, Jesus appeared once more to his disciples at Lake Tiberias. This is how it happened. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (the one from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus were all together. 3 Simon Peter said to the others, “I am going fishing.”
“We will come with you,” they told him. So they went out in a boat, but all that night they did not catch a thing. 4 As the sun was rising, Jesus stood at the water's edge, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then he asked them, “Young men, haven't you caught anything?”
“Not a thing,” they answered.
6 He said to them, “Throw your net out on the right side of the boat, and you will catch some.” So they threw the net out and could not pull it back in, because they had caught so many fish.
7 The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken his clothes off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples came to shore in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. They were not very far from land, about a hundred yards away. 9 When they stepped ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it and some bread. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three in all; even though there were so many, still the net did not tear. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. 13 So Jesus went over, took the bread, and gave it to them; he did the same with the fish.
14 This, then, was the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from death.
Jesus and Peter
15 After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Take care of my lambs.” 16 A second time Jesus said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 A third time Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter became sad because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” and so he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you!”
Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep. 18 I am telling you the truth: when you were young, you used to get ready and go anywhere you wanted to; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you up and take you where you don't want to go.” 19 (In saying this, Jesus was indicating the way in which Peter would die and bring glory to God.) Then Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
Jesus and the Other Disciple
20 Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved—the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22 Jesus answered him, “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!”
23 So a report spread among the followers of Jesus that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die; he said, “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you?”
24 He is the disciple who spoke of these things, the one who also wrote them down; and we know that what he said is true.
Conclusion
25 Now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written.
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.
