          DASV: John 21    

1 After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the
disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself
like this.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Twin, Nathanael of Cana in
Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his
disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They said
to him, "We'll go with you." They went out and got into the
boat. That night they caught nothing.
4 But at day break, Jesus stood on the shore, but the
disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus asked them, "Children, you don't have any fish,
do you?" They replied, "No."
6 He told them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat,
and you will find some fish." So they cast the net and were
not able to pull it in because of the amount of fish.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the
Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
wrapped his coat around him (for he had nothing on under it),
and jumped into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the boat dragging the net
full of fish in, for they were not far from land, only one
hundred yards out.
9 When they got to shore, they saw a charcoal fire there, and
fish laid on it along with some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you've just
caught."
11 Then Simon Peter went up, and pulled the net to land,
full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three. There were
so many yet the net did not break.
12 Jesus said to them, "Come have some breakfast." None of
the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" knowing that
it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread, and gave it to them, and
did the same with the fish.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus showed himself
to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to
Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more
than these?" He replied, "Yes, Lord; you know I love you."
He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16 Jesus said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John,
do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord; you know that I
love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 Jesus said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" He
replied, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love
you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 I tell you the truth, when you were young, you dressed
yourself, and walked wherever you wanted to, but when you
are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will
dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go."
19 Now he said this indicating the kind of death by which
Peter was going to glorify God. When he had said this,
he told him, "Follow me."

20 Peter, turning around, saw the disciple Jesus loved
following; the one who also leaned back on Jesus at the
supper, and said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?"
21 So Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about
this man?"
22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to stay alive until I
come back, what is that to you? You need to follow me."
23 Because of this saying a rumor was spread among the
brothers, that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did
not tell him that he would not die; but, "If I want him
to stay alive until I come back, what is that to you?"
24 This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and
wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Jesus did many other things which if they were all
written down, I suppose that even the world itself could
not contain the books that would be written.
