John 21 - Interlinear Bible
Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee
3
Simon Peter said to them, "I am
going fishing." They
said to him, "We will
also come with you." They
went out and
got into the
boat ; and that
night they
caught nothing.
4
But when the
day was
now breaking,
Jesus stood on the
beach ;
yet the
disciples did not
know that it was
Jesus.
5
So Jesus said to them,
"Children, you do not
have any fish, do you?" They
answered Him,
"No."
6
And He
said to them, "
Cast the
net on the
right-hand side of the
boat and you will
find a catch."
So they
cast, and
then they were not
able to
haul it in
because of the
great number of
fish.
7
Therefore that
disciple whom Jesus loved said to
Peter, "It is the
Lord."
So when
Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he
put his
outer garment on (for he was
stripped for work), 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 one hundred yards away,
dragging the
net full of
fish.
9
So when they
got out on the
land, they
saw a
charcoal fire already
laid and
fish placed on it, and
bread.
10
Jesus said to them,
"Bring some of the
fish which you have
now caught."
11
Simon Peter went up and
drew the
net to
land,
full of
large fish, a
hundred and
fifty-three * ; and although there were
so many, the
net was not
torn.
Jesus Provides
12
Jesus said to them,
"Come and
have breakfast."
None of the
disciples ventured to
question Him,
"Who are You?"
knowing that it was the
Lord.
13
Jesus came and
took the
bread and
gave it to them, and the
fish likewise.
14
This is
now the
third time that
Jesus was
manifested to the
disciples, after He was
raised from the
dead.
The Love Motivation
15
So when they had
finished breakfast,
Jesus said to
Simon Peter, "
Simon, son of
John, do you
love Me
more than
these ?" He
said to Him,
"Yes,
Lord ; You
know that I
love You." He
said to him,
"Tend My
lambs."
16
He
said to him
again a
second time,
"Simon, son of
John, do you
love Me?" He
said to Him,
"Yes,
Lord ; You
know that I
love You." He
said to him, "
Shepherd My
sheep."
17
He
said to him the
third time,
"Simon, son of
John, do you
love Me?"
Peter was
grieved because He
said to him the
third time, "Do you
love Me?" And he
said to Him,
"Lord, You
know all things ; You
know that I
love You."
Jesus said to him, "
Tend My
sheep.
Our Times Are in His Hand
18
"Truly,
truly, I
say to you,
when you were
younger, you used to
gird yourself and
walk wherever you
wished ; but
when you
grow old, you will
stretch out your
hands and
someone else will
gird you, and
bring you
where you do not
wish to go."
19
Now this He
said,
signifying by
what kind of
death he would
glorify God. And when He had
spoken this, He
said to him, "
Follow Me!"
22
Jesus said to him,
"If I
want him to
remain until I
come,
what is that to you? You
follow Me!"
23
Therefore this saying went out
among the
brethren that that
disciple would not
die ;
yet Jesus did not
say to him that he would not
die, but only,
"If I
want him to
remain until I
come,
what is that to you?"
