Now this is how he did so. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not torn. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>“Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said. But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.</p> <p class="title">Peter’s Restoration</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus told him, “Feed my lambs.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Jesus said a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd my sheep.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Jesus said a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” and said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me.”</p> <p class="title">Peter and the Disciple Jesus Loved</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This was the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus’ chest at the meal and asked, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”) <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?”</p> <p class="title">A Final Note</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/21-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="http://netbible.com/">NET Bible copyright © 1996-2006 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C. http://netbible.com.<br />Used by permission.
