21Verse 1After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.Verse 2Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock], Thomas [Seeker of truth] called Didymus [Twin] in Greek, Nathanael [Given by God] of Cana in Galilee [District, Circuit], and the sons of Zebedee [Bestowed by Yah], and two others of his disciples were together.Verse 3Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.Verse 4But when day had already come, Yeshua [Salvation] stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Yeshua [Salvation].Verse 5Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”Verse 6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.Verse 7That disciple therefore whom Yeshua [Salvation] felt agapao ·totally devoted love· for said to Peter [Rock], “It’s the Master!” So when Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] heard that it was the Master, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.Verse 8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away [300 ft; 914.4 m]), dragging the net full of fish.Verse 9So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.Verse 10Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”Verse 11Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net was not torn.Verse 12Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Master.Verse 13Then Yeshua [Salvation] came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.Verse 14This is now the third time that Yeshua [Salvation] was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.Verse 15So when they had eaten their breakfast, Yeshua [Salvation] said to Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock], “Simeon [Hearing], son of Jonah [Dove], do you have agapao ·totally devoted love· for me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Master; you know that I phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”Verse 16He said to him again a second time, “Simeon [Hearing], son of Jonah [Dove], do you have agapao ·totally devoted love· for me?” He said to him, “Yes, Master; you know that I phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”Verse 17He said to him the third time, “Simeon [Hearing], son of Jonah [Dove], do you phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· me?” Peter [Rock] was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· me?” He said to him, “Master, you know everything. You know that I phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· you.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Feed my sheep.Verse 18Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.”Verse 19Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”Verse 20Then Peter [Rock], turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Yeshua [Salvation] felt agapao ·totally devoted love· for, the one who had also leaned on Yeshua [Salvation]’s chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”Verse 21Peter [Rock] seeing him, said to Yeshua [Salvation], “Master, what about this man?”Verse 22Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”Verse 23This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Yeshua [Salvation] didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”Verse 24This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.Verse 25There are also many other things which Yeshua [Salvation] did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.
