John 21 (WEBP)

[1] After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
[2] Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
[3] Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
[4] But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
[5] Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
[6] He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
[7] That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
[8] But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
[9] So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
[10] Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
[11] Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
[12] Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
[13] Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
[14] This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
[15] So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
[16] He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
[17] He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
[18] Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where 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, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
[20] Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
[21] Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
[22] Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
[23] This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
[24] This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
[25] There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

John 21 (KJVS)

[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.
