Yesu Awatokea Wanafunzi Saba
121:1 Yn 21:14; 20:19, 26Baada ya haya Yesu akawatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya Bahari ya Tiberia.21:1 Yaani Bahari ya Galilaya. Yeye alijionyesha kwao hivi: 221:2 Yn 11:16; 1:4; 2:1; Mt 4:21Simoni Petro, Tomaso aitwaye Didimasi, yaani Pacha, Nathanaeli wa Kana ya Galilaya, wana wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wengine wawili walikuwa pamoja. 321:3 Lk 5:5Simoni Petro akawaambia wenzake, “Mimi naenda kuvua samaki.” Nao wakamwambia, “Tutakwenda pamoja nawe.” Wakatoka, wakaingia ndani ya mashua, lakini usiku ule hawakupata chochote.
421:4 Lk 24:16; Yn 20:14Mara baada ya kupambazuka, Yesu akasimama ufuoni, lakini wanafunzi hawakumtambua kwamba alikuwa Yesu.
521:5 Lk 24:41Yesu akawaambia, “Wanangu, je, mna samaki wowote?”
Wakamjibu, “La.”
621:6 Lk 5:4-7Akawaambia, “Shusheni nyavu upande wa kuume wa mashua yenu nanyi mtapata samaki.” Wakashusha nyavu na tazama wakapata samaki wengi mno hata wakashindwa kuvutia zile nyavu zilizojaa samaki ndani ya mashua.
721:7 Yn 13:23Yule mwanafunzi aliyependwa na Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Huyu ni Bwana!” Simoni Petro aliposikia haya, akajifunga nguo yake kwa kuwa alikuwa uchi, naye akajitosa baharini. 8Wale wanafunzi wengine wakaja kwa ile mashua huku wakikokota ule wavu uliyojaa samaki, maana hawakuwa mbali na nchi kavu, ilikuwa yapata dhiraa 20021:8 Dhiraa 200 ni kama mita 90. 921:9 Yn 18:18; 21:10, 13Walipofika ufuoni, wakaona moto wa makaa na samaki wakiokwa juu yake na mikate.
10Yesu akawaambia, “Leteni baadhi ya hao samaki mliovua sasa hivi.”
11Simoni Petro akapanda kwenye mashua na kuukokota ule wavu pwani. Ulikuwa umejaa samaki wakubwa 153. Ingawa samaki walikuwa wengi kiasi hicho, ule wavu haukuchanika. 1221:12 Mdo 10:41Yesu akawaambia, “Njooni mpate kifungua kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wa wanafunzi aliyethubutu kumuuliza, “Wewe ni nani?” Kwa sababu walijua ya kuwa ni Bwana. 1321:13 Yn 21:9Yesu akaja, akachukua ule mkate, akawapa na vivyo hivyo akawagawia pia wale samaki. 1421:14 Yn 20:19, 26Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada yake kufufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu.
Yesu Amuuliza Petro Kama Anampenda
1521:15 Lk 24:41Walipokwisha kula, Yesu akamuuliza Simoni Petro, “Je, Simoni mwana wa Yohana, unanipenda kweli kuliko hawa?”
Yeye akamjibu, “Ndiyo Bwana, wewe unajua ya kuwa ninakupenda.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Lisha wana-kondoo wangu.”
1621:16 2Sam 5:2; Mt 2:6Yesu akamwambia tena, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohana, wanipenda?”
Petro akamjibu, “Ndiyo Bwana, wewe unajua ya kuwa ninakupenda.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Chunga kondoo zangu.”
1721:17 Yn 2:24, 25; 16:30Kwa mara ya tatu Yesu akamuuliza Petro, “Simoni mwana wa Yohana, unanipenda?”
Petro akahuzunika sana kwa kuwa Yesu alimuuliza mara ya tatu, “Unanipenda?” Akamjibu, “Bwana, wewe unajua yote, unajua ya kuwa ninakupenda.”
Yesu akamwambia, “Lisha kondoo wangu. 18Amin, amin nakuambia, ulipokuwa kijana ulivaa na kwenda unakotaka, lakini utakapokuwa mzee utanyoosha mikono yako na mtu mwingine atakuvika na kukupeleka usipotaka kwenda.” 1921:19 Yn 12:33; 18:32Yesu alisema haya ili kuashiria ni kifo cha aina gani Petro atakachomtukuza nacho Mungu. Kisha Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Nifuate!”
2021:20 Yn 16:22; 21:7; 13:23Petro akageuka, akamwona yule mwanafunzi aliyependwa na Yesu akiwafuata. (Huyu ndiye yule mwanafunzi aliyeegama kifuani mwa Yesu walipokula naye chakula cha mwisho na kuuliza, “Bwana, ni nani atakayekusaliti?”) 21Petro alipomwona huyo mwanafunzi, akamuuliza Yesu, “Bwana na huyu je?”
2221:22 Mt 16:27, 28; 25:31; 1Kor 4; 5; 11:26; Ufu 2:25; 3:11; 22:7, 20Yesu akamjibu, “Ikiwa nataka aishi mpaka nitakaporudi, inakuhusu nini? Wewe inakupasa unifuate!” 2321:23 Mdo 1:16Kwa sababu ya maneno haya ya Yesu, uvumi ukaenea miongoni mwa ndugu kwamba huyu mwanafunzi hangekufa. Lakini Yesu hakusema kuwa hangekufa. Yeye alisema tu kwamba, “Ikiwa nataka aishi mpaka nitakaporudi, inakuhusu nini?”
2421:24 Yn 15:27; 19:35Huyu ndiye yule mwanafunzi anayeshuhudia mambo haya na ndiye ambaye ameandika habari hizi. Nasi tunajua ya kuwa ushuhuda wake ni kweli.
2521:25 Yn 20:30Lakini kuna mambo mengine mengi ambayo Yesu alifanya. Kama yote yangeliandikwa, nadhani hata ulimwengu wote usingekuwa na nafasi ya kutosha kuweka vitabu vyote ambavyo vingeandikwa. Amen.
1After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 8And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. 9As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 12Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 14This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15¶ So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 20Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 24This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
