The Scriptures 1998

John 21:6-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And He said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall find.” So they threw, and they were no longer able to draw it in because of the large number of fish.

7. That taught one whom יהושע loved then said to Kĕpha, “It is the Master!” Then Shim‛on Kĕpha, hearing that it was the Master, put on his outer garment – for he was stripped – and plunged into the sea.

8. And the other taught ones came in the little boat – for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits – dragging the net with fish.

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

10. יהושע said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.”

11. Shim‛on Kĕpha went up and dragged the net to land, filled with one hundred and fifty-three big fishes. And though there were so many, the net was not broken.

12. יהושע said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And not one of the taught ones had the courage to ask Him, “Who are You?,” knowing that it was the Master.

13. יהושע came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish.

14. This was now the third time יהושע was manifested to His taught ones after He was raised from the dead.

15. When, therefore, they had eaten breakfast, יהושע said to Shim‛on Kĕpha, “Shim‛on, son of Yonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yea, Master, You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”

16. He said to him again, the second time, “Shim‛on, son of Yonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yea, Master, You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
