Giovanni 21

1Dopo queste cose, Gesù si fece veder di nuovo ai discepoli presso il mar di Tiberiade; e si fece vedere in questa maniera. 2Simon Pietro, Toma detto Didimo, Natanaele di Cana di Galilea, i figliuoli di Zebedeo e due altri de’ suoi discepoli erano insieme. 3Simon Pietro disse loro: Io vado a pescare. Essi gli dissero: Anche noi veniamo con te. Uscirono, e montarono nella barca; e quella notte non presero nulla. 4Or essendo già mattina, Gesù si presentò sulla riva; i discepoli però non sapevano che fosse Gesù. 5Allora Gesù disse loro: Figliuoli, avete voi del pesce? Essi gli risposero: No. 6Ed egli disse loro: Gettate la rete dal lato destro della barca, e ne troverete. Essi dunque la gettarono, e non potevano più tirarla su per il gran numero dei pesci. 7Allora il discepolo che Gesù amava disse a Pietro: E’ il Signore! E Simon Pietro, udito ch’era il Signore, si cinse il camiciotto, perché era nudo, e si gettò nel mare. 8Ma gli altri discepoli vennero con la barca, perché non erano molto distanti da terra (circa duecento cubiti), traendo la rete coi pesci. 9Come dunque furono smontati a terra, videro quivi della brace, e del pesce messovi su, e del pane. 10Gesù disse loro: Portate qua de’ pesci che avete presi ora. 11Simon Pietro quindi montò nella barca, e tirò a terra la rete piena di centocinquantatre grossi pesci; e benché ce ne fossero tanti, la rete non si strappò. 12Gesù disse loro: Venite a far colazione. E niuno dei discepoli ardiva domandargli: Chi sei? sapendo che era il Signore. 13Gesù venne, e prese il pane e lo diede loro; e il pesce similmente. 14Quest’era già la terza volta che Gesù si faceva vedere ai suoi discepoli, dopo essere risuscitato da’ morti. 15Or quand’ebbero fatto colazione, Gesù disse a Simon Pietro: Simon di Giovanni, m’ami tu più di questi? Ei gli rispose: Sì, Signore, tu sai che io t’amo. Gesù gli disse: Pasci i miei agnelli. 16Gli disse di nuovo una seconda volta: Simon di Giovanni, m’ami tu? Ei gli rispose: Sì, Signore; tu sai che io t’amo. Gesù gli disse: Pastura le mie pecorelle. 17Gli disse per la terza volta: Simon di Giovanni, mi ami tu? Pietro fu attristato ch’ei gli avesse detto per la terza volta: Mi ami tu? E gli rispose: Signore, tu sai ogni cosa; tu conosci che io t’amo. Gesù gli disse: Pasci le mie pecore. 18In verità, in verità ti dico che quand’eri più giovane, ti cingevi da te e andavi dove volevi; ma quando sarai vecchio, stenderai le tue mani, e un altro ti cingerà e ti condurrà dove non vorresti. 19Or disse questo per significare con qual morte egli glorificherebbe Iddio. E dopo aver così parlato, gli disse: Seguimi. 20Pietro, voltatosi, vide venirgli dietro il discepolo che Gesù amava; quello stesso, che durante la cena stava inclinato sul seno di Gesù e avea detto: Signore, chi è che ti tradisce? 21Pietro dunque, vedutolo, disse a Gesù: Signore, e di lui che ne sarà? 22Gesù gli rispose: Se voglio che rimanga finch’io venga, che t’importa? Tu, seguimi. 23Ond’è che si sparse tra i fratelli la voce che quel discepolo non morrebbe; Gesù però non gli avea detto che non morrebbe, ma: Se voglio che rimanga finch’io venga, che t’importa? 24Questo è il discepolo che rende testimonianza di queste cose, e che ha scritto queste cose; e noi sappiamo che la sua testimonianza è verace. 25Or vi sono ancora molte altre cose che Gesù ha fatte, le quali se si scrivessero ad una ad una, credo che il mondo stesso non potrebbe contenere i libri che se ne scriverebbero.

1After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. 2Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. 4But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. 5Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” 6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. 7That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. 8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish. 9So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” 11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. 14This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. 15So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.” 19Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” 20Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?” 21Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.” 23This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?” 24This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. 25There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

1Na dezen openbaarde Jezus Zichzelven wederom den discipelen aan de zee van Tiberias. En Hij openbaarde Zich aldus: 2Er waren te zamen Simon Petrus, en Thomas, gezegd Didymus, en Nathanael, die van Kana in Galilea was, en de zonen van Zebedeus, en twee anderen van Zijn discipelen. 3Simon Petrus zeide tot hen: Ik ga vissen. Zij zeiden tot hem: Wij gaan ook met u. Zij gingen uit, en traden terstond in het schip; en in dien nacht vingen zij niets. 4En als het nu morgenstond geworden was, stond Jezus op den oever; doch de discipelen wisten niet, dat het Jezus was. 5Jezus dan zeide tot hen: Kinderkens, hebt gij niet enige toespijs? Zij antwoordden Hem: Neen. 6En Hij zeide tot hen: Werpt het net aan de rechterzijde van het schip, en gij zult vinden. Zij wierpen het dan, en konden hetzelve niet meer trekken vanwege de menigte der vissen. 7De discipel dan, welken Jezus liefhad, zeide tot Petrus: Het is de Heere! Simon Petrus dan, horende, dat het de Heere was, omgordde het opperkleed (want hij was naakt), en wierp zichzelven in de zee. 8En de andere discipelen kwamen met het scheepje (want zij waren niet verre van het land, maar omtrent tweehonderd ellen), slepende het net met de vissen. 9Als zij dan aan het land gegaan waren, zagen zij een kolenvuur liggen, en vis daarop liggen, en brood. 10Jezus zeide tot hen: Brengt van den vissen, die gij nu gevangen hebt. 11Simon Petrus ging op, en trok het net op het land, vol grote vissen, tot honderd drie en vijftig; en hoewel er zovele waren, zo scheurde het net niet. 12Jezus zeide tot hen: Komt herwaarts, houdt het middagmaal. En niemand van de discipelen durfde Hem vragen: Wie zijt Gij? wetende, dat het de Heere was. 13Jezus dan kwam, en nam het brood, en gaf het hun, en den vis desgelijks. 14Dit was nu de derde maal, dat Jezus Zijn discipelen geopenbaard is, nadat Hij van de doden opgewekt was. 15Toen zij dan het middagmaal gehouden hadden, zeide Jezus tot Simon Petrus: Simon, zoon van Jonas, hebt gij Mij liever dan dezen? Hij zeide tot Hem: Ja, Heere! Gij weet, dat ik U liefheb. Hij zeide tot hem: Weid Mijn lammeren. 16Hij zeide wederom tot hem ten tweeden maal: Simon, zoon van Jonas, hebt gij Mij lief? Hij zeide tot Hem: Ja, Heere, gij weet, dat ik U liefheb. Hij zeide tot hem: Hoed Mijn schapen. 17Hij zeide tot hem ten derden maal: Simon, zoon van Jonas, hebt gij Mij lief? Petrus werd bedroefd, omdat Hij ten derden maal tot hem zeide: Hebt gij Mij lief, en zeide tot Hem: Heere! Gij weet alle dingen, Gij weet, dat ik U liefheb. Jezus zeide tot hem: Weid Mijn schapen. 18Voorwaar, voorwaar, zeg Ik u: Toen gij jonger waart, gorddet gij uzelven, en wandeldet, alwaar gij wildet; maar wanneer gij zult oud geworden zijn, zo zult gij uw handen uitstrekken, en een ander zal u gorden, en brengen, waar gij niet wilt. 19En dit zeide Hij, betekenende, met hoedanigen dood hij God verheerlijken zou. En dit gesproken hebbende, zeide Hij tot hem: Volg Mij. 20En Petrus, zich omkerende, zag den discipel volgen, welken Jezus liefhad, die ook in het avondmaal op Zijn borst gevallen was, en gezegd had: Heere! wie is het, die U verraden zal? 21Als Petrus dezen zag, zeide hij tot Jezus: Heere, maar wat zal deze? 22Jezus zeide tot hem: Indien Ik wil, dat hij blijve, totdat Ik kome, wat gaat het u aan? Volg gij Mij. 23Dit woord dan ging uit onder de broederen, dat deze discipel niet zou sterven. En Jezus had tot hem niet gezegd, dat hij niet sterven zou, maar: Indien Ik wil, dat hij blijve, totdat Ik kome, wat gaat het u aan? 24Deze is de discipel, die van deze dingen getuigt, en deze dingen geschreven heeft; en wij weten, dat zijn getuigenis waarachtig is. 25En er zijn nog vele andere dingen, die Jezus gedaan heeft, welke, zo zij elk bijzonder geschreven wierden, ik acht, dat ook de wereld zelve de geschrevene boeken niet zou bevatten. Amen.
