John 21:1-25

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

1Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.21:1 Greek Tiberias It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus21:2 Thomas (Aramaic) and Didymus (Greek) both mean twin.), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

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, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

6He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.21:8 Or about 90 meters 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16Again Jesus said, “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.”

17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

20Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

22Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

24This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

25Jesus did many other things as well. 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.

Knijga O Kristu

Ivan 21:1-25

Isus se pojavljuje pred sedmoricom učenika

1Poslije se Isus opet javio učenicima uz Tiberijsko jezero. Evo kako se to dogodilo: 2Ondje ih je bila nekolicina: Šimun Petar, Toma zvani Blizanac, Natanael iz Kane Galilejske, Zebedejevi sinovi te još dvojica učenika.

3“Idem loviti ribu”, reče Šimun Petar.

“Idemo i mi”, rekli su oni i pošli s njim, ali cijele noći nisu ništa ulovili.

4U zoru je Isus stajao na obali, ali učenici ga nisu prepoznali. 5“Zar nemate ribe, djeco?” dovikne im on.

“Nemamo!” odgovore.

6On reče: “Bacite mrežu s desne strane lađe i uhvatit ćete ih!” Tako su i učinili. Nisu mogli izvući mrežu zbog mnoštva riba koje su uhvatili.

7Učenik kojega je Isus osobito volio reče Petru: “To je Gospodin!” Nato Šimun Petar opaše gornju haljinu jer je bio slabo obučen, skoči u vodu i otpliva do obale. 8Drugi su ostali u lađi. Dovuku mrežu punu riba do obale udaljene stotinjak metara.21:8 U grčkome: dvjesto lakata. 9Kad su izišli na obalu, ugledaju ribu kako se peče na razgorjelu žaru i kruh.

10“Donesite malo riba koje ste uhvatili”, reče im Isus. 11Šimun Petar ode i izvuče mrežu punu velikih riba na obalu: sto pedeset i tri velike ribe. Mreža se ipak nije rastrgala.

12“Dođite doručkovati!” reče im Isus. Nitko se od njih nije usuđivao pitati ga je li on uistinu Gospodin jer su znali da jest. 13Isus uzme kruh, pa im ga dade. To učini i s ribom. 14To je bilo već treći put Isus da se javio učenicima otkad je uskrsnuo od mrtvih.

Isusov razgovor s Petrom

15Nakon doručka Isus upita Šimuna Petra: “Šimune, Ivanov sine, ljubiš li me više nego ovi?”

“Da”, odgovori Petar. “Ti znaš da te volim.”

“Onda pasi moje jaganjce”, reče mu Isus.

16Ponovno ga upita: “Šimune, Ivanov sine, ljubiš li me?”

“Da, Gospodine,” reče Petar “znaš da te volim.”

“Onda pasi moje ovce”, reče mu Isus.

17Još ga jedanput upita: “Šimune, Ivanov sine, voliš li me?”

Petar se ražalosti što ga Isus i treći put pita voli li ga. “Gospodine, ti sve znaš; znaš da te volim”, reče.

“Onda pasi moje ovce”, reče mu Isus. 18“Zaista ti kažem, kad si bio mlad, mogao si činiti što si htio i ići kamo si želio; ali kad ostariš, raširit ćeš ruke i drugi će te opasati i voditi onamo kamo ne želiš ići.” 19Isus mu je to rekao da bi mu navijestio kakvom će smrću proslaviti Boga. Zatim mu reče: “Slijedi me!”

20Petar se okrene i opazi da učenik kojega je Isus osobito volio, onaj koji se pri večeri nagnuo i upitao Isusa: “Učitelju, koji će te od nas izdati?” ide za njim. 21Petar upita Isusa: “A što će biti s njime, Gospodine?”

22Isus mu odgovori: “Ako hoću da on ostane dok ja ne dođem, što se to tebe tiče? Ti me slijedi!” 23Tako se među braćom raširio glas da onaj učenik neće umrijeti. Ali Isus nije rekao da on neće umrijeti, već samo: “Ako hoću da on ostane dok ja ne dođem, što se to tebe tiče!”

24Ovo je taj učenik koji je vidio te događaje i ovdje ih zabilježio. A svi mi znamo da je zapis tih događaja točan i istinit.

25Isus je učinio još mnogo toga i kad bi se sve redom zapisalo, mislim da sve te knjige ne bi stale ni u cijeli svijet!
