John 21:5-23

⁵Therefore Jesus saith to them, Children, whether ye have any supping thing? They answered to him, Nay.

⁶He said to them, Put or Send ye the net into the right half of the rowing, and ye shall find. And they putted or sent the net; and then they might not draw it for multitude of fishes.

⁷Therefore that disciple, whom Jesus loved, said to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he had heard that it is the Lord, girt him with a coat, for he was naked, and went into the sea.

⁸But the other disciples came by boat, for they were not far from the land, but as a two hundred cubits or as it were two hundred cubits, drawing the net of fishes.

⁹And as they came down into the land, they saw coals lying, and fish laid on, and bread.

¹⁰Jesus saith to them, Bring ye of the fishes, which ye have taken now.

¹¹Simon Peter went up, and drew the net into the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three; and when they were so many, the net was not broken.

¹²Jesus saith to them, Come ye, and eat ye. And no man of them that sat at the meat, durst ask him, Who art thou, witting that it is the Lord.

¹³And Jesus came, and took bread, and gave to them, and fish also.

¹⁴Now this is the third time Jesus was showed to his disciples, when he had risen again from death.

¹⁵And when they had eaten, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed thou my lambs.

¹⁶Again he saith to him, Simon of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed thou my lambs.

¹⁷He saith to him the third time, Simon of John, lovest thou me? Peter was heavy, or sorry, for he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me, and he saith to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁸Truly, truly, I say to thee, when thou were younger, thou girdedest thee, and wanderedest where thou wouldest; but when thou shalt wax older, thou shalt hold forth thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and shall lead thee whither thou wilt not.

¹⁹He said this thing, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said these things, he saith to him, Pursue thou me.

²⁰Peter turned, and saw that disciple pursuing, whom Jesus loved, which also rested in the supper on his breast, and said to him, Lord, who is it, that shall betray thee?

²¹Therefore when Peter had seen this disciple, he saith to Jesus, Lord, but what this?

²²Jesus saith to him, So I will, that he dwell till I come, what to thee? pursue thou me.

²³Therefore this word went out among the brethren, that that disciple dieth not. And Jesus said not to him, that he dieth not, but, So I will, that he dwell till I come, what to thee?
