Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 21

1. Postea manifestavit se ite rum Iesus discipulis ad mare Tiberiadis; manifestavit autem sic.

1. After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tibe'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way.

2. Erant simul Simon Petrus et Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, et Nathanael, qui erat a Cana Galilaeae, et filii Zebedaei et alii ex discipulis eius duo.

2. Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathan'a-el of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zeb'edee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3. Dicit eis Simon Petrus: “Vado piscari”. Dicunt ei: “Venimus et nos tecum”. Exierunt et ascenderunt in navem; et illa nocte nihil prendiderunt.

3. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

4. Mane autem iam facto, stetit Iesus in litore; non tamen sciebant discipuli quia Iesus est.

4. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5. Dicit ergo eis Iesus: “Pueri, numquid pulmentarium habetis?”. Responderunt ei: “Non”.

5. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any fish?" They answered him, "No."

6. Ille autem dixit eis: “Mittite in dexteram navigii rete et invenietis”. Miserunt ergo et iam non valebant illud trahere a multitudine piscium.

6. He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish.

7. Dicit ergo discipulus ille, quem diligebat Iesus, Petro: “Dominus est!”. Simon ergo Petrus, cum audisset quia Dominus est, tunicam succinxit se, erat enim nudus, et misit se in mare;

7. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

8. alii autem discipuli navigio venerunt, non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cubitis ducentis, trahentes rete piscium.

8. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

9. Ut ergo descenderunt in terram, vident prunas positas et piscem superpositum et panem.

9. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread.

10. Dicit eis Iesus: “Afferte de piscibus, quos prendidistis nunc”.

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

11. Ascendit ergo Simon Petrus et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis piscibus centum quinquaginta tribus; et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete.

11. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12. Dicit eis Iesus: “Venite, prandete”. Nemo autem audebat discipulorum interrogare eum: “Tu quis es?”, scientes quia Dominus est.

12. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.

13. Venit Iesus et accipit panem et dat eis et piscem similiter.

13. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.

14. Hoc iam tertio manifestatus est Iesus discipulis, cum resurrexisset a mortuis.

14. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

15. Cum ergo prandissent, dicit Simoni Petro Iesus: “Simon Ioannis, diligis me plus his?”. Dicit ei: “Etiam, Domine, tu scis quia amo te”. Dicit ei: “Pasce agnos meos”.

15. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, 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."

16. Dicit ei iterum secundo: “Simon Ioannis, diligis me?”. Ait illi: “Etiam, Domine, tu scis quia amo te”. Dicit ei: “Pasce oves meas”.

16. A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

17. Dicit ei tertio: “Simon Ioannis, amas me?”. Contristatus est Petrus quia dixit ei tertio: “Amas me?”, et dicit ei: “Domine, tu omnia scis, tu cognoscis quia amo te”. Dicit ei: “Pasce oves meas.

17. He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, 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 everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

18. Amen, amen dico tibi: Cum esses iunior, cingebas teipsum et ambulabas, ubi volebas; cum autem senueris, extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget et ducet, quo non vis”.

18. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go."

19. Hoc autem dixit significans qua morte clarificaturus esset Deum. Et hoc cum dixisset, dicit ei: “Sequere me”.

19. (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

20. Conversus Petrus videt illum discipulum, quem diligebat Iesus, sequentem, qui et recubuit in cena super pectus eius et dixit: “Domine, quis est qui tradit te?”.

20. Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"

21. Hunc ergo cum vidisset Petrus, dicit Iesu: “Domine, hic autem quid?”.

21. When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

22. Dicit ei Iesus: “Si eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te? Tu me sequere”.

22. Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!"

23. Exivit ergo sermo iste in fratres, quia discipulus ille non moritur. Non autem dixit ei Iesus: “Non moritur”, sed: “Si eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te?”.

23. The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

24. Hic est discipulus, qui testimonium perhibet de his et scripsit haec; et scimus quia verum est testimonium eius.

24. This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

25. Sunt autem et alia multa, quae fecit Iesus; quae, si scribantur per singula, nec ipsum arbitror mundum capere eos, qui scribendi sunt, libros.

25. But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
