| 1After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. | 1After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way: |
| 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. | 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called "Twin"), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of His disciples were together." |
| 3Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. | 3I'm going fishing," Simon Peter said to them." We're coming with you," they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. |
| 4Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. | 4When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus. |
| 5Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” | 5"Men," Jesus called to them, "you don't have any fish, do you?"" No," they answered. |
| 6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. | 6"Cast the net on the right side of the boat," He told them, "and you'll find some." So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish. |
| 7That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. | 7Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea. |
| 8The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. | 8But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. |
| 9When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. | 9When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. |
| 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” | 10"Bring some of the fish you've just caught," Jesus told them. |
| 11So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. | 11So Simon Peter got up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish--153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. |
| 12Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. | 12"Come and have breakfast," Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?" because they knew it was the Lord. |
| 13Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. | 13Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. |
| 14This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. | 14This was now the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead. |
| 15When 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, “Feed my lambs.” | 15When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?"" Yes, Lord," he said to Him, "You know that I love You." "Feed My lambs," He told him. |
| 16He said to him 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, “Tend my sheep.” | 16A second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?"" Yes, Lord," he said to Him, "You know that I love You." "Shepherd My sheep," He told him. |
| 17He 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 everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. | 17He asked him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, "Do you love Me?" He said, "Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You." "Feed My sheep," Jesus said. |
| 18Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” | 18"I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don't want to go." |
| 19(This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.” | 19He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, "Follow Me!" |
| 20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” | 20So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them.

| 21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” | 21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord--what about him?" |
| 22Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” | 22"If I want him to remain until I come," Jesus answered, "what is that to you? As for you, follow Me." |
| 23So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?” | 23So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?" |
| 24This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. | 24This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. |
| 25Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. | 25And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written. |
