John 21

English Standard Version

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. (Mr 16:12; Mr 16:14; Joh 6:1; Joh 7:4; Joh 20:19; Joh 20:26; Joh 21:14) 

2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. (Mt 4:21; Lu 5:10; Joh 2:1; Joh 4:46; Joh 11:16) 

3 Simon 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. (Lu 5:5) 

4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. (Joh 20:14) 

5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” (Lu 24:41) 

6 He 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. (Lu 5:4; Lu 5:6) 

7 That 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. (1Sa 19:24; Isa 20:2; Mic 1:8; Mt 14:29; Joh 13:4; Joh 13:23; Joh 21:18) 

8 The 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. 

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 

11 So 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. 

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. (Joh 4:27; Joh 21:15; Ac 10:41) 

13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. (Joh 21:9) 

14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. (Joh 20:19; Joh 20:26; Joh 21:1) 

Jesus and Peter

15 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, “Feed my lambs.” (Isa 40:11; Mt 16:17; Mt 26:33; Mr 14:29; Lu 22:31; Joh 1:42; Joh 10:11; Joh 21:12) 

16 He 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.” (Joh 21:15; Ac 20:28; 1Pe 5:2; Re 7:17) 

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 everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. (Joh 2:25; Joh 13:38; Joh 21:16) 

18 Truly, 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.” (Joh 13:36; Joh 21:7) 

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.” (Mt 16:24; Joh 8:12; Joh 13:36; Joh 21:22; 2Pe 1:14) 

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

20 Peter 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?” (Joh 13:25; Joh 21:7) 

21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 

22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” (Mt 10:23; Mt 16:27; Mt 16:28; Joh 14:3; Joh 14:18; Joh 14:28; Joh 21:19; 1Co 4:5; 1Co 11:26; Heb 10:37; Jas 5:7; Re 2:5; Re 2:16; Re 2:25; Re 3:3; Re 3:11; Re 16:15; Re 22:7; Re 22:12; Re 22:20) 

23 So 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?” (Ac 1:15; Ac 9:30; Ac 11:1; Ac 12:17; Ac 15:1; Ac 16:2; Ac 16:40; Ac 21:7; Ac 21:17; 1Jo 3:14; 1Jo 3:16) 

24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. (Joh 15:27; Joh 19:35; 1Jo 3:2; 1Jo 3:14; 1Jo 5:15; 1Jo 5:18; 3Jo 1:12) 

25 Now 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. (Am 7:10; Joh 20:30)

الكتاب المقدس

يسوع ومعجزة صيد السمك

1 بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَظْهَرَ يَسُوعُ نَفْسَهُ لِلتَّلامِيذِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى عِنْدَ شَاطِئِ بُحَيْرَةِ طَبَرِيَّةَ. وَقَدْ أَظْهَرَ نَفْسَهُ هَكَذَا: 

2 اجْتَمَعَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ وَتُومَا، الْمَعْرُوفُ بِالتَّوْأَمِ، وَنَثَنَائِيلُ، وَهَوَ مِنْ قَانَا بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْجَليلِ، وَابْنَا زَبَدِي، وَتِلْمِيذَانِ آخَرَانِ. 

3 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ: «أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ لِلصَّيْدِ!» فَقَالُوا: «وَنَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ». فَذَهَبُوا وَرَكِبُوا الْقَارِبَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصِيدُوا شَيْئاً فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ. 

4 وَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ عَلَى الشَّاطِئِ، وَلكِنَّ التَّلامِيذَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا أَنَّهُ يَسُوعُ. 

5 فَسَأَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «يَا فِتْيَانُ، أَمَا عِنْدَكُمْ سَمَكٌ؟» أَجَابُوهُ: «لا!» 

6 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلْقُوا الشَّبَكَةَ إِلَى يَمِينِ الْقَارِبِ، تَجِدُوا!» فَأَلْقَوْهَا، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَجْذِبُوهَا لِكَثْرَةِ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ السَّمَكِ! 

7 فَقَالَ التِّلْمِيذُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّهُ، لِبُطْرُسَ: «إِنَّهُ الرَّبُّ!» وَكَانَ بُطْرُسُ عُرْيَاناً، فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، حَتَّى تَسَتَّرَ بِرِدَائِهِ، وَأَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ سَابِحاً. 

8 وَجَاءَ بَاقِي التَّلامِيذِ بِالْقَارِبِ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَ شَبَكَةَ السَّمَكِ، إِذْ كَانُوا غَيْرَ بَعِيدِينَ عَنِ الشَّاطِئِ إِلّا نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْ ذِرَاعٍ. 

9 فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا إِلَى الشَّاطِئِ، رَأَوْا هُنَاكَ جَمْراً وَسَمَكاً مَوْضُوعاً عَلَيْهِ، وَخُبْزاً. 

10 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «هَاتُوا مِنَ السَّمَكِ الَّذِي صِدْتُمُوهُ الآنَ!» 

11 فَصَعِدَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ وَجَذَبَ الشَّبَكَةَ إِلَى الْبَرِّ، فَإِذَا فِيهَا مِئَةٌ وَثَلاثٌ وَخَمْسُونَ سَمَكَةً مِنَ السَّمَكِ الْكَبِيرِ، وَمَعَ هذِهِ الْكَثْرَةِ لَمْ تَتَمَزَّقِ الشَّبَكَةُ. 

12 وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلتَّلاميِذِ: «تَعَالَوْا كُلُوا». وَلَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ التَّلامِيذِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ لأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ الرَّبُّ. 

13 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ يَسُوعُ وَأَخَذَ الْخُبْزَ وَنَاوَلَهُمْ، وَكَذلِكَ السَّمَكَ. 

14 هذِهِ هِيَ الْمَرَّةُ الثَّالِثَةُ الَّتِي أَظْهَرَ فِيهَا يَسُوعُ نَفْسَهُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ بَعْدَمَا قَامَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ. 

المسيح يتحدث إلى بطرس

15 وَبَعْدَمَا أَكَلُوا سَأَلَ يَسُوعُ سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ: «يَا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، أَتُحِبُّنِي أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يُحِبُّنِي هؤُلاءِ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ «نَعَمْ يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ!» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَطْعِمْ حُمْلانِي!» 

16 ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ ثَانِيَةً: «يَا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، أَتُحِبُّنِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا رَبُّ. أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ!» قَالَ لَهُ: «ارْعَ خِرَافِي» 

17 فَسَأَلَهُ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً: «يَا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، أَتُحِبُّنِي؟» فَحَزِنَ بُطْرُسُ لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ: «أَتُحِبُّنِي». وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ!» فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَطْعِمْ خِرَافِي! 

18 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ لَمَّا كُنْتَ شَابّاً كُنْتَ تَرْبِطُ حِزَامَكَ عَلَى وَسَطِكَ وَتَذْهَبُ حَيْثُ تُرِيدُ. وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا تَصِيرُ شَيْخاً فَإِنَّكَ تَمُدُّ يَدَيْكَ، وَآخَرُ يَرْبُطُ حِزَامَكَ وَيَذْهَبُ بِكَ حَيْثُ لَا تُرِيدُ!» 

19 وَقَدْ قَالَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا إِشَارَةً إِلَى الْمِيتَةِ الَّتِي سَوْفَ يَمُوتُهَا بُطْرُسُ فَيُمَجِّدُ بِها اللهَ. وَلَمَّا قَالَ لَهُ ذلِكَ، قَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي». 

20 وَنَظَرَ بُطْرُسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَرَأَى التِّلْمِيذَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّهُ يَتْبَعُهُمَا، وَهُوَ التِّلْمِيذُ الَّذِي مَالَ إِلَى صَدْرِ يَسُوعَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْعَشَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُكَ؟» 

21 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ بُطْرُسُ سَأَلَ يَسُوعَ: «يَا رَبُّ وَهَذَا، مَاذَا يَكُونُ لَهُ؟» 

22 أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ يَبْقَى حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ، فَمَا شَأْنُكَ؟ اتْبَعْنِي أَنْتَ!» 

23 فَشَاعَ خَبَرٌ بَيْنَ الإِخْوَةِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ التِّلْمِيذَ لَنْ يَمُوتَ. وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَقُلْ لِبُطْرُسَ: «إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَمُوتَ!» بَلْ قَالَ: «لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ يَبْقَى حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ، فَمَا شَأْنُكَ؟» 

24 هَذَا التِّلْمِيذُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَشْهَدُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَقَدْ دَوَّنَهَا هُنَا. وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ حَقٌّ. 

25 وَهُنَاكَ أُمُورٌ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةٌ عَمِلَهَا يَسُوعُ، أَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا لَوْ دُوِّنَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَوَاحِدَةً، لَمَا كَانَ الْعَالَمُ كُلُّهُ يَسَعُ مَا دُوِّنَ مِنْ كُتُبٍ!
