John 21

21After these things Jesus ^ashewed himself again to the disciples ^bat the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. ²There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas ^ccalled Didymus, and ^dNathanael of ^eCana in Galilee, and ^fthe sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. ³Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and ^tentered into a ship immediately; and ^gthat night they caught nothing. ⁴But when the morning was now come, ^hJesus stood on the shore: but the disciples ⁱknew not that it was Jesus. ⁵Then Jesus saith unto them, ^||kChildren, have ye any meat? ^lThey answered him, No. ⁶And ^mhe said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. ⁷Therefore that disciple ⁿwhom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he ^ogirt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was ^pnaked,) and did cast himself into the sea. ⁸And the other disciples came in ^qa little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. ⁹As soon then as they were come to land, they saw ^ra fire of coals there, and ^sfish laid thereon, and bread. ¹⁰Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the ^sfish which ye have now caught. ¹¹Simon Peter ^twent up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. ¹²Jesus saith unto them, ^uCome and ^xdine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. ^13uJesus then cometh, and ^ytaketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. ¹⁴This is now ^zthe third time that Jesus shewed himself ^zto his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

¹⁵So when they had ^xdined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ^bmore than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶He saith to him again the second time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, ^cFeed my sheep. ¹⁷He saith unto him the third time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him ^dthe third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, ^ethou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ^18fVerily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou ^ggirdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. ^19hThis spake he, signifying ⁱby what death he should ^hglorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, ^kFollow me. ²⁰Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple ^lwhom Jesus loved following; ^mwhich also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? ²¹Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? ²²Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he ⁿtarry ^otill I come, what is that to thee? ^kfollow thou me. ²³Then went this saying abroad among ^pthe brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and ^qwe know ^rthat his testimony is true. ^25sAnd there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that ^teven the world itself could not ^ucontain the books that should be written. Amen.
