30
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written
in this book:
31
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life through his name.
CHAPTER 21
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, and 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
