New Testament

John 21

1After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

μετα ταυτα εφανερωσεν εαυτον παλιν ο ιησους τοις μαθηταις επι της θαλασσης της τιβεριαδος· εφανερωσεν δε ουτως.

2Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

ησαν ομου σιμων πετρος, και θωμας ο λεγομενος διδυμος, και ναθαναηλ ο απο κανα της γαλιλαιας, και οι του ζεβεδαιου, και αλλοι εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο.

3Simon Peter said to them, 'I am going fishing.'

λεγει αυτοις σιμων πετρος· υπαγω αλιευειν. λεγουσιν αυτω· ερχομεθα και ημεις συν σοι. εξηλθον και ενεβησαν εις το πλοιον ευθυς, και εν εκεινη τη νυκτι επιασαν ουδεν.

4They said to him, 'We are going with you also.' They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

πρωιας δε ηδη γενομενης εστη ο ιησους εις τον αιγιαλον· ου μεντοι ηδεισαν οι μαθηται οτι ιησους εστιν.

5Then Jesus said to them, 'Children, have you any food?'

λεγει ουν αυτοις ο ιησους· παιδια, μη τι προσφαγιον εχετε; απεκριθησαν αυτω· ου.

6They answered Him, 'No.' And He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.' So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· βαλετε εις τα δεξια μερη του πλοιου το δικτυον, και ευρησετε. εβαλον ουν, και ουκετι αυτο ελκυσαι ισχυσαν απο του πληθους των ιχθυων.

7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!' Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

λεγει ουν ο μαθητης εκεινος, ον ηγαπα ο ιησους, τω πετρω· ο κυριος εστιν. σιμων ουν πετρος ακουσας οτι ο κυριος εστιν, τον επενδυτην διεζωσατο· ην γαρ γυμνος· και εβαλεν εαυτον εις την θαλασσαν·

8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.

οι δε αλλοι μαθηται τω πλοιαριω ηλθον· ου γαρ ησαν μακραν απο της γης, αλλ ως απο πηχων διακοσιων, συροντες το δικτυον των ιχθυων.

9Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

ως ουν απεβησαν εις την γην, βλεπουσιν ανθρακιαν κειμενην και οψαριον επικειμενον και αρτον.

10Jesus said to them, 'Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.'

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· ενεγκατε απο των οψαριων ων επιασατε νυν.

11Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fiftythree; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

ανεβη σιμων πετρος και ειλκυσεν το δικτυον επι της γης, μεστον ιχθυων μεγαλων εκατον πεντηκοντα τριων· και τοσουτων οντων ουκ εσχισθη το δικτυον.

12Jesus said to them, 'Come and eat breakfast.' Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, 'Who are You?'—knowing that it was the Lord.

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· δευτε αριστησατε. ουδεις δε ετολμα των μαθητων εξετασαι αυτον συ τις ει, ειδοτες οτι ο κυριος εστιν.

13Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

ερχεται ουν ο ιησους και λαμβανει τον αρτον και διδωσιν αυτοις, και το οψαριον ομοιως.

14This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

τουτο ηδη τριτον εφανερωθη ο ιησους τοις μαθηταις αυτου εγερθεις εκ νεκρων.

15So when they had eaten 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 love You.' He said to him, 'Feed My lambs.'

οτε ουν ηριστησαν, λεγει τω σιμωνι πετρω ο ιησους· σιμων ιωνα, αγαπας με πλειον τουτων; λεγει αυτω· ναι, κυριε, συ οιδας οτι φιλω σε. λεγει αυτω· βοσκε τα αρνια μου.

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 love You.' He said to him, 'Tend My sheep.'

λεγει αυτω παλιν δευτερον· σιμων ιωνα, αγαπας με; λεγει αυτω· ναι, κυριε, συ οιδας οτι φιλω σε. λεγει αυτω· ποιμαινε τα προβατα μου.

17He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, 'Do you love Me?' And he said to Him, 'Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed My sheep.'

λεγει αυτω το τριτον· σιμων ιωνα, φιλεις με; ελυπηθη ο πετρος οτι ειπεν αυτω το τριτον, φιλεις με, και ειπεν αυτω· κυριε, συ παντα οιδας, συ γινωσκεις οτι φιλω σε. λεγει αυτω ο ιησους· βοσκε τα προβατα μου.

18Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.'

αμην αμην λεγω σοι, οτε ης νεωτερος, εζωννυες σεαυτον και περιεπατεις οπου ηθελες· οταν δε γηρασης, εκτενεις τας χειρας σου, και αλλος σε ζωσει, και οισει οπου ου θελεις.

19This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, 'Follow Me.'

τουτο δε ειπεν σημαινων ποιω θανατω δοξασει τον θεον. και τουτο ειπων λεγει αυτω· ακολουθει μοι.

20Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, 'Lord, who is the one who betrays You?'

επιστραφεις δε ο πετρος βλεπει τον μαθητην ον ηγαπα ο ιησους ακολουθουντα, ος και ανεπεσεν εν τω δειπνω επι το στηθος αυτου και ειπεν· κυριε, τις εστιν ο παραδιδους σε;

21Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, 'But Lord, what about this man?'

τουτον ιδων ο πετρος λεγει τω ιησου· κυριε, ουτος δε τι;

22Jesus said to him, 'If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.'

λεγει αυτω ο ιησους· εαν αυτον θελω μενειν εως ερχομαι, τι προς σε; συ ακολουθει μοι.

23Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, 'If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?'

εξηλθεν ουν ο λογος ουτος εις τους αδελφους οτι ο μαθητης εκεινος ουκ αποθνησκει· και ουκ ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους οτι ουκ αποθνησκει, αλλ εαν αυτον θελω μενειν εως ερχομαι, τι προς σε;

24This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

ουτος εστιν ο μαθητης ο μαρτυρων περι τουτων και γραψας ταυτα, και οιδαμεν οτι αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια αυτου.

25And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

εστιν δε και αλλα πολλα οσα εποιησεν ο ιησους, ατινα εαν γραφηται καθ εν, ουδε αυτον οιμαι τον κοσμον χωρησαι τα γραφομενα βιβλια. αμην.
