Jesus and the Miracle of Many Fish
1After this, Jesus appeared to his disciples again. It was by the Sea of Galilee. Here is what happened. 2Simon Peter and Thomas, who was also called Didymus, were there together. Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee were with them. So were two other disciples. 3“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them. They said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat. That night they didn’t catch anything.
4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore. But the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5He called out to them, “Friends, don’t you have any fish?”
“No,” they answered.
6He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat. There you will find some fish.” When they did, they could not pull the net into the boat. There were too many fish in it.
7Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Simon Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Peter heard that, he put his coat on. He had taken it off earlier. Then he jumped into the water. 8The other disciples followed in the boat. They were towing the net full of fish. The shore was only about 100 yards away. 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals. There were fish on it. There was also some bread.
10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat. He dragged the net to shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them. But even with that many fish the net was not torn. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them. He did the same thing with the fish. 14This was the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus Gives Peter His Task
15When Jesus and the disciples had finished eating, Jesus spoke to Simon Peter. He asked, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered. “You know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
16Again Jesus asked, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord. You know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
17Jesus spoke to him a third time. He asked, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter felt bad because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He answered, “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18What I’m about to tell you is true. When you were younger, you dressed yourself. You went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands. Someone else will dress you. Someone else will lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to point out how Peter would die. His death would bring glory to God. Then Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
20Peter turned around. He saw that the disciple Jesus loved was following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper. He had said, “Lord, who is going to hand you over to your enemies?” 21When Peter saw that disciple, he asked, “Lord, what will happen to him?”
22Jesus answered, “Suppose I want him to remain alive until I return. What does that matter to you? You must follow me.” 23Because of what Jesus said, a false report spread among the believers. The story was told that the disciple Jesus loved wouldn’t die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He only said, “Suppose I want him to remain alive until I return. What does that matter to you?”
24This is the disciple who is a witness about these things. He also wrote them down. We know that what he says is true.
25Jesus also did many other things. What if every one of them were written down? I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Nagpakita si Jesus sa Pito ka mga Tinun-an
1Paglabay sa pipila ka adlaw, nagpakita pag-usab si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an didto sa daplin sa Linaw sa Tiberias. Mao kini ang nahitabo: 2Nagpundok sila si Simon Pedro, si Tomas nga gitawag nga Kaluha, si Natanael nga taga-Cana nga sakop sa Galilea, ang mga anak ni Zebede, ug may duha pa gayod ka tinun-an ni Jesus. 3Unya, miingon si Simon Pedro sa iyang mga kauban, “Mangisda ako.” Miingon usab sila, “Mouban kami kanimo.” Busa misakay sila sa sakayan ug nagpalawod. Apan niadto nga gabii wala gayod silay nakuha. 4Sa dihang mosidlak na ang adlaw, may nakita sila nga nagatindog didto sa baybayon. Apan wala sila masayod nga si Jesus kadto. 5Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Mga higala, may nakuha ba kamo?” Mitubag sila, “Wala gayod.” 6Miingon siya kanila, “Itaktak ninyo ang inyong pukot sa tuo nga dapit sa sakayan, ug may makuha kamo.” Busa gitaktak nila sa tuo nga dapit ang ilang pukot. Pagbira nila dili na nila kini madaog tungod sa kadaghan sa isda nga ilang nakuha. 7Unya miingon kang Pedro ang tinun-an nga gimahal ni Jesus, “Ang Ginoo diay kadto!” Pagkadungog niini ni Pedro, gisul-ob niya pagbalik ang iyang bisti nga iyang gihubo ug milukso sa tubig ug milangoy paingon kang Jesus. 8Ang uban nga mga tinun-an nga didto sa sakayan nagpabaybay nga nagabira sa pukot nga puno sa mga isda, kay ang ilang gilay-on gikan sa baybayon mga 50 na man lang ka dupa. 9Sa nakakawas na sila, aduna silay nakita nga tinapok nga baga nga may gisugba nga isda ug may pan usab. 10Miingon dayon si Jesus kanila, “Pagdala kamo dinhi ug pipila ka isda nga inyong nakuha.” 11Busa misaka si Simon Pedro sa sakayan ug gibira niya pabaybay ang pukot nga puno sa dagkong mga isda nga 153 ka buok. Apan bisan pa sa kadaghan sa ilang nakuha, wala gayod magisi ang pukot. 12Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Dali kamo ngari aron mamahaw.” Wala gayoy bisan usa sa iyang mga tinun-an nga nangisog sa pagpangutana kon kinsa gayod siya, kay nahibalo sila nga siya mao ang Ginoo. 13Gikuha dayon ni Jesus ang pan ug gipanghatag kanila. Mao usab ang iyang gihimo sa isda. 14Ikatulo na kini ka higayon nga nagpakita si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an sukad sa iyang pagkabanhaw.
Si Jesus ug si Pedro
15Pagkahuman nilag pamahaw, miingon si Jesus kang Simon Pedro, “Simon nga anak ni Juan, gihigugma mo ba ako labaw pa niining imong mga kauban?” Mitubag si Pedro, “Oo, Ginoo, nahibalo ka nga gihigugma ko ikaw.” Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Atimana ang akong mga karnero.” 16Miingon pag-usab si Jesus kaniya, “Simon nga anak ni Juan, gihigugma mo ba ako?” Mitubag siya pag-usab, “Oo, Ginoo, nahibalo ka nga gihigugma ko ikaw.” Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Atimana ang akong mga karnero.” 17Sa ikatulong higayon miingon pag-usab si Jesus, “Simon nga anak ni Juan, gihigugma mo ba ako?” Nahiubos si Pedro tungod kay katulo na siya pangutan-a ni Jesus kon gihigugma ba niya siya. Busa miingon si Pedro kaniya, “Ginoo, nahibalo ka sa tanan, ug nahibalo ka nga gihigugma ko ikaw.” Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Atimana ang akong mga karnero. 18Sa pagkatinuod, sa batan-on ka pa, ikaw mismo ang nagbakos sa imong kaugalingon ug nakaadto ka bisan asa nga imong gusto. Apan kon tigulang ka na gani, padupahon ka lang ug lain nay mosuot kanimo ug bakos, ug dad-on ka sa lugar nga dili mo gustong adtoan.” 19(Gisulti kini ni Jesus aron ipahibalo kanila kon unsang matanga sa kamatayon ang maagian ni Pedro, ug pinaagi niadto nga kamatayon madayeg niya ang Dios.) Ug miingon si Jesus kang Pedro, “Sunod kanako.”
Ang Pinalanggang Tinun-an ni Jesus
20Paglingi ni Pedro nakita niya nga nagasunod kanila ang pinalanggang tinun-an ni Jesus. (Siya mao kadtong duol gayod kang Jesus niadtong nanihapon sila, ug ang nangutana sa Ginoo kon kinsa ang magluib kaniya.) 21Pagkakita ni Pedro kaniya, miingon siya kang Jesus, “Unsa may mahitabo kaniya Ginoo?” 22Mitubag si Jesus kaniya, “Kon buot ko nga dili siya mamatay hangtod sa akong pagbalik dinhi sa kalibotan, unsay labot mo? Basta ikaw sunod lang kanako.” 23Busa mikaylap ang balita ngadto sa mga kaigsoonan diha sa Ginoo nga kadto nga tinun-an dili mamatay. Apan wala mag-ingon si Jesus nga dili siya mamatay, kondili ang iyang giingon, “kon buot ko nga dili siya mamatay hangtod sa akong pagbalik, unsay labot mo?” 24Siya mao ang tinun-an nga nagapamatuod nga tinuod ang nahisulat dinhi, ug siya mismo ang nagsulat niini. Ug nahibaloan nato nga tinuod ang iyang ginasulti. 25Daghan pa gayod ang mga gipangbuhat ni Jesus nga kon tagsa-tagsaon ug sulat, tingali ang tibuok kalibotan dili paigo nga kabutangan sa mga libro nga masulat.
