King James VersionJohn21

John

1 Af­ter these things Je­sus shewed him­self again to the dis­ci­ples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2 There were to­geth­er Si­mon Pe­ter, and Thomas called Didy­mus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two oth­er of his dis­ci­ples. 3 Si­mon Pe­ter saith unto them, I go a fish­ing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and en­tered into a ship im­me­di­ate­ly; and that night they caught noth­ing. 4 But when the morn­ing was now come, Je­sus stood on the shore: but the dis­ci­ples knew not that it was Je­sus. 5 Then Je­sus saith unto them, Chil­dren, have ye any meat? They an­swered him, No. 6 And he 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. 7 There­fore that dis­ci­ple whom Je­sus loved saith unto Pe­ter, It is the Lord. Now when Si­mon Pe­ter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat un­to him, (for he was naked, ) and did cast him­self into the sea. 8 And the oth­er dis­ci­ples came in a lit­tle ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hun­dred cu­bits, ) drag­ging the net with fish­es. 9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid there­on, and bread. 10 Je­sus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11 Si­mon Pe­ter went 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. 12 Je­sus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the dis­ci­ples durst ask him, Who art thou? know­ing that it was the Lord. 13 Je­sus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish like­wise. 14 This is now the third time that Je­sus shewed him­self to his dis­ci­ples, af­ter that he was risen from the dead. 15 So when they had dined, Je­sus saith to Si­mon Pe­ter, Si­mon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou know­est that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the sec­ond time, Si­mon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou know­est that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Si­mon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Pe­ter was grieved be­cause he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou know­est all things; thou know­est that I love thee. Je­sus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou gird­edst 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. 19 This spake he, sig­ni­fy­ing by what death he should glo­ri­fy God. And when he had spo­ken this, he saith unto him, Fol­low me. 20 Then Pe­ter, turn­ing about, seeth the dis­ci­ple whom Je­sus loved fol­low­ing; which also leaned on his breast at sup­per, and said, Lord, which is he that be­trayeth thee? 21 Pe­ter see­ing him saith to Je­sus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Je­sus saith unto him, If I will that he tar­ry till I come, what is that to thee? fol­low thou me. 23 Then went this say­ing abroad among the 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? 24 This is the dis­ci­ple which tes­ti­fi­eth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his tes­ti­mo­ny is true. 25 And there are also many oth­er things which Je­sus did, the which, if they should be writ­ten ev­ery one, I sup­pose that even the world it­self could not con­tain the books that should be writ­ten. Amen.
