Jesus
Appears at the Sea of Galilee |
|
|
 |
John 21:1
|
|
After these things Jesus manifested Himself
again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this
way. |
|
|
|
John 21:2
|
|
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples
were together. |
|
|
|
John 21:3
|
|
Simon Peter *said
to them, "I am going fishing." They *said
to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and
that night they caught nothing. |
|
|
|
John 21:4
|
|
But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood
on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. |
|
|
|
John 21:5
|
|
So Jesus *said
to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?"
They answered Him, "No." |
|
|
|
John 21:6
|
|
And He said to them, "Cast
the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch."
So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number
of fish. |
|
|
|
John 21:7
|
|
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said
to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into
the sea. |
|
|
|
John 21:8
|
|
But the other disciples came in the little boat,
for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging
the net full of fish. |
|
|
|
John 21:9
|
|
So when they got out on the land, they *saw
a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. |
|
|
|
John 21:10
|
|
Jesus *said
to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught." |
|
|
|
John 21:11
|
|
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land,
full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many,
the net was not torn. |
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus
Provides |
|
|
|
John 21:12
|
|
Jesus *said
to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples
ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord. |
|
|
|
John 21:13
|
|
Jesus *came
and *took
the bread and *gave
it to them, and the fish likewise. |
|
|
|
John 21:14
|
|
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested
to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
Love Motivation |
|
|
|
John 21:15
|
|
So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said
to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more
than these?" He *said
to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said
to him, "Tend My lambs." |
|
|
|
John 21:16
|
|
He *said
to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you
love Me?" He *said
to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said
to him, "Shepherd My sheep." |
|
|
|
John 21:17
|
|
He *said
to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love
Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do
you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know
that I love You." Jesus *said
to him, "Tend My sheep. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our
Times Are in His Hand |
|
|
|
John 21:18
|
|
Truly, truly, I say to
you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird
you, and bring you where you do not wish to go." |
|
|
|
John 21:19
|
|
Now this He said, signifying by what kind of
death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said
to him, "Follow Me!" |
|
|
|
John 21:20
|
|
Peter, turning around, *saw
the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back
on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" |
|
|
|
John 21:21
|
|
So Peter seeing him *said
to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?" |
|
|
|
John 21:22
|
|
Jesus *said
to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that
to you? You follow Me!" |
|
|
|
John 21:23
|
|
Therefore this saying went out among the brethren
that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not
die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what
is that to you?" |
|
|
|
John 21:24
|
|
This is the disciple who is testifying to these
things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. |
|
|
|
John 21:25
|
|
And there are also many other things which Jesus
did, which if they *were
written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would
not contain the books that *would
be written. |
