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.

21:5a

So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?”

So: The Greek text includes a word that is often translated ‘Therefore’ and the BSB translates as So. Most English translations leave this word untranslated. If it is more natural in your language to include a connector here, you may do so. For example:

Then he asked them (GNT)

He called out to them: The pronoun them is plural and refers to the seven disciples who went fishing.

Children: This form of address was a friendly way of beginning a conversation with young men. A literal translation may give the wrong impression that the disciples were very young. We do not know their ages, but they were probably all young adults. (Simon Peter at least was married.) Use a form of address that would be natural in addressing young men in a friendly manner. For example:

Young men (GNT)

Boys

Fellows/Guys

friends (NJB)

do you have any fish?: This is a real question that expects an answer. The form of the Greek question implies that Jesus expected the answer, “We have no fish.” Translate this question in a way that shows that Jesus expected that they did not catch any fish. For example:

Did you not catch any fish?

No fish today?

fish: The Greek word that the BSB translates as fish is more literally “something to eat.” The context makes it clear that it refers to fish that the disciples were trying to catch. Use the expression that is natural in your language. For example:

have you not caught anything?

21:5b

“No,” they answered.

“No,” they answered: The word No answered Jesus’ question in the way that the question expected. The disciples had not caught any fish. For example:

None at all.

We caught none.

Not a single fish.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παιδία

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Παιδία μή τὶ προσφάγιον ἔχετε Ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ Οὒ)

Jesus uses the word Children as an affectionate way to address his disciples. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My dear friends]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε?

not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Παιδία μή τὶ προσφάγιον ἔχετε Ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ Οὒ)

Jesus asks this question in a way that expects a negative response. He knows that the disciples did not catch any fish. If your language has a question form that assumes a negative response, you should use it here. Alternate translation: [you were not able to get any fish to eat, were you?]
