21:1 After these things Yehoshua (יהושע) shewed himself again to the talmidim at the sea of Tiberias (Τιβεριάς); and on this wise shewed he [himself].

21:2 There were together Shimon Kefa, and Thomas called Didumos (twins), and Natanael of Kanah in Galil, and Bnei Zavdai, and two other of His Talmidim.

21:3

Shimon Kefa said to them,

I go a fishing.

They say to him,

We also go with you.

They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

21:4 But when the morning was now come, Yehoshua (יהושע) stood on the shore: but the talmidim knew not that it was Yehoshua (יהושע).

21:5 Then Yehoshua (יהושע) said to them,

Children, have you any fish?

They answered him,

No.

21:6 And Yehoshua (יהושע) said to them,

Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

21:7 Therefore that the taught one whom Yehoshua (יהושע) loved (agapao) said to Kefa, It is Adonay. Now when Shimon Kefa heard that it was Adonay, he girt [his] fisher's coat [to him], (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

21:8 And the other talmidim came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and Lechem.

21:10 Yehoshua (יהושע) said to them:

Bring of the fish which you have now caught.

21:11 Shimon Kefa went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

21:12 Yehoshua (יהושע) said to them:

"Come [and] dine". Yet none of the Talmidim dared to question Him, "Who are Thou? knowing that it was Adonay.

21:13 Yehoshua (יהושע) then came and took the lechem, and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

21:14 This is now the third time that Yehoshua (יהושע) was manifested to His Talmidim, after having been raised from the dead.

21:15 So when they had dined,

Yehoshua (יהושע) said to Shimon Kefa:

He said to Him:

He said to him,

Feed (Bosko) My lambs (arnion).

21:16

Yehoshua (יהושע) said to him again the second time:

He said to him:

He said to him:

21:17  

Yehoshua (יהושע) said to him the third time:

Kefa was grieved (lupeo) because He said to him the third time, Do you phileo (care, love) for Me?

And he said to Him:

Yehoshua (יהושע) said to him:

Feed (bosko) My Sheep (probaton).

21:18 Truly, Truly, I say to you:

When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shall be old, thou shall stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird you, and carry [you] whither thou wouldest not.

21:19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify Elohim (אלוה). And when he had spoken this, he said to him, Follow Me.

21:20 Then Kefa, turning about, sees the taught one whom Yehoshua (יהושע) loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Adonay, which is he that betrayeth you?

21:21 Kefa seeing him said to Yehoshua (יהושע), Adonay, and what [shall] this man [do]?

21:22 Yehoshua (יהושע) said to him:

If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to you?

Follow Thou Me.

21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that the taught one should not die: yet Yehoshua (יהושע) said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to you?

21:24 This is the taught one which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his edut is true.

21:25 And there are also many other things which Yehoshua (יהושע) did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even Olam Hazeh itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
