SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:1–14: Jesus appeared to his disciples in Galilee

This chapter is a second ending to the Gospel of John. It gives some information about another time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he rose from the dead. This time Jesus came to seven of his followers while they were fishing on the lake in Galilee. He did a miracle of providing many fish for them to catch, and then he gave them breakfast.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus went to seven of his disciples beside Lake Galilee

Seven disciples saw a miracle when they caught many fish

Jesus did a miracle to give some of his followers many fish

Paragraph 21:4–6

A man on the shore told the disciples how they could catch some fish. They realized that it was Jesus, and Peter jumped into the water and swam to shore.

21:4a

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore,

Early in the morning: This phrase refers to the early morning immediately after daybreak (sunrise). There was enough light for the disciples to see the shore. Use an expression that is natural in your language. For example:

As the sun was rising (GW)

At dawn (NLT)

Early the next morning (CEV)

Jesus stood on the shore: Jesus was standing near the water. The text does not say whether he had been there some time or whether he only arrived at sunrise. But the light of the sun enabled the disciples to see him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

there stood Jesus on the shore (NJB)

Jesus was standing on the beach (NLT)

on the shore: This phrase here refers to the shore, the land at the edge of the Sea of Galilee. It may not have been a wide sandy area. For example:

on the shore of the lake (TH)

at the water’s edge (GNT)

21:4b

but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.

but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus: The disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus standing on the beach. Perhaps it was difficult to see in the early morning light, or perhaps he looked different in some way. Compare 20:14–15 and Luke 24:15–16. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

but the disciples did not realize who he was (CEV)

although the disciples had no idea that it was Jesus (JBP)

General Comment on 21:4a–b

In some languages it may be natural to translate 21:4a from the disciples’ view from the boat. You would indicate only that someone, or a man, was standing on the beach. The information that this was in fact Jesus may be translated as a separate clause. For example:

4aJust after daybreak the disciples saw someone standing on the beach. It was Jesus, 4bbut they did not recognize him.

ἐστιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρωΐας Δέ ἤδη γινομένης ἔστη Ἰησοῦς εἰς τόν αἰγιαλόν οὒ μέντοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ μαθηταί ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστίν)

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
