UST YHN Chapter 21

YHN 21 ©

21After those things happened, Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, which is also known as the Sea of Galilee. This is how he appeared to them: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (whom they called ‘The Twin’), Nathaniel (who was from Cana, which is a town in the region of Galilee), the sons of Zebedee (James and John), and two of Jesus’ other disciples were together. 3Simon Peter told the other disciples with him, “I am going to catch some fish.” They told him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat and fished, but they did not catch any fish that night. 4At dawn the next morning Jesus stood on the shore of the sea, but the disciples who were fishing did not know that it was him. 5Jesus then called to them, “Dear friends, you do not have any fish, do you?” They replied, “We do not.” 6He told them, “Throw your net off the right side of the boat and you will catch some fish.” So they did so, and they caught so many fish that they were not able to pull the net into the boat. 7I, the disciple whom Jesus loved, then told Peter, “It is the Lord Jesus!” So when Simon Peter heard this, he put on his coat (he had taken it off to work) and jumped into the water to swim to the shore. 8The rest of the disciples who had been fishing came to the shore in the boat, while pulling the net full of fish behind the boat. (They were not far from the shore, only 90 meters away.) 9When they reached the shore, they saw a fire that Jesus had prepared and a fish he was cooking on it. There was also a loaf of bread. 10Jesus told them, “Bring over here some of those fish that you have just caught!” 11So Simon Peter went back to the boat and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of 153 large fish. Even though there were so many fish, the net did not tear. 12Jesus told them, “Come here and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples were bold enough to ask him who he was. They knew it was the Lord Jesus. 13Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. 14(This was the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after God had caused him to become alive again.)

15When they finished eating breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others love me?” Peter replied to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus told him, “Take care of those who trust in me.” 16Jesus asked him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He replied to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus told him, “Take care of those who trust in me.” 17Jesus asked him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus asked him three times if he loved him. Peter replied to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus told him, “Take care of those who trust in me. 18I am telling you the truth: When you were young, you put your own clothes on, and you walked wherever you wanted to go. However, when you are old, you will extend your hands away from your body, and someone else will put clothes on you and take you where you do not want to go.” 19(Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die in order to show people how great God is). Then Jesus told him, “Come be my disciple!”

20When Peter turned around, he saw John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, walking behind them. John was the one who had leaned close to Jesus during the dinner before Jesus died and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21So when Peter saw John, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what is going to happen to this man?” 22Jesus said to him, “If I want him to continue living until I return, that is not your concern! As for you, continue to be my disciple!” 23Because Jesus said this, the rumor that the disciple John was not going to die was repeated among the believers. However, Jesus did not tell Peter that John would not die. Rather, he said, “If I want him to continue living until I return, that is not your concern!”

24I, John, am the disciple who is testifying about all these things, and I have written them down in this book. We know that what I have testified is true.

25Jesus also did so many other things that if people wrote down every one of them, I suppose that the whole world would not even be big enough to contain the books that those people would write about them.
