John 21

1 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:

1 這些事以後，耶穌在提比哩亞海邊又向門徒顯現。他怎樣顯現記在下面：

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.

2 有西門‧彼得和稱為低土馬的多馬，並加利利的迦拿人拿但業，還有西庇太的兩個兒子，又有兩個門徒，都在一處。

3 Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.

3 西門‧彼得對他們說：「我打魚去。」他們說：「我們也和你同去。」他們就出去，上了船；那一夜並沒有打着甚麼。

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.

4 天將亮的時候，耶穌站在岸上，門徒卻不知道是耶穌。

5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.

5 耶穌就對他們說：「小子！你們有吃的沒有？」他們回答說：「沒有。」

6 He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

6 耶穌說：「你們把網撒在船的右邊，就必得着。」他們便撒下網去，竟拉不上來了，因為魚甚多。

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

7 耶穌所愛的那門徒對彼得說：「是主！」那時西門‧彼得赤着身子，一聽見是主，就束上一件外衣，跳在海裏。

8 The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

8 其餘的門徒離岸不遠，約有二百肘 ，就在小船上把那網魚拉過來。

9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.

9 他們上了岸，就看見那裏有炭火，上面有魚，又有餅。

10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

10 耶穌對他們說：「把剛才打的魚拿幾條來。」

11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.

11 西門‧彼得就去 ，把網拉到岸上。那網滿了大魚，共一百五十三條；魚雖這樣多，網卻沒有破。

12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.

12 耶穌說：「你們來吃早飯。」門徒中沒有一個敢問他：「你是誰？」因為知道是主。

13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.

13 耶穌就來拿餅和魚給他們。

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

14 耶穌從死裏復活以後，向門徒顯現，這是第三次。

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”

15 他們吃完了早飯，耶穌對西門‧彼得說：「約翰 的兒子西門，你愛我比這些更深嗎？」彼得說：「主啊，是的，你知道我愛你。」耶穌對他說：「你餵養我的小羊。」

16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

16 耶穌第二次又對他說：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我嗎？」彼得說：「主啊，是的，你知道我愛你。」耶穌說：「你牧養我的羊。」

17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

17 第三次對他說：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我嗎？」彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說「你愛我嗎」，就憂愁，對耶穌說：「主啊，你是無所不知的；你知道我愛你。」耶穌說：「你餵養我的羊。

18 Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked 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.”

18 我實實在在地告訴你，你年少的時候，自己束上帶子，隨意往來；但年老的時候，你要伸出手來，別人要把你束上，帶你到不願意去的地方。」

19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

19 （耶穌說這話是指着彼得要怎樣死，榮耀上帝。）說了這話，就對他說：「你跟從我吧！」

20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”

20 彼得轉過來，看見耶穌所愛的那門徒跟着，（就是在晚飯的時候，靠着耶穌胸膛說：「主啊，賣你的是誰？」的那門徒。）

21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

21 彼得看見他，就問耶穌說：「主啊，這人將來如何？」

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

22 耶穌對他說：「我若要他等到我來的時候，與你何干？你跟從我吧！」

23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”

23 於是這話傳在弟兄中間，說那門徒不死。其實，耶穌不是說他不死，乃是說：「我若要他等到我來的時候，與你何干？」

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.

24 為這些事作見證，並且記載這些事的就是這門徒；我們也知道他的見證是真的。

25 There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

25 耶穌所行的事還有許多，若是一一地都寫出來，我想，所寫的書就是世界也容不下了。
