¹ After these things, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. Now He revealed Himself in this way: ² Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. ³ Simon Peter says to them, “I am going to fish.” They say to him, “We also are coming with you.” They went forth and went up into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing. ⁴ Now morning already having come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know that it is Jesus. ⁵ Therefore Jesus says to them, “Children do you have any food?” They answered Him, “No.” ⁶ And He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and they were not able to haul it in from the multitude of the fish. ⁷ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So Simon Peter, having heard that it is the Lord, put on the outer garment, (for he was naked), and he cast himself into the sea. ⁸ Now the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net with the fish, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away. ⁹ So when they got out onto the land, they see a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have now caught.” ¹¹ Therefore Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three. Although there are so many, the net was not torn. ¹² Jesus says to them, “Come, have breakfast.” But none of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it is the Lord. ¹³ Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish likewise. ¹⁴ This is now the third time Jesus was revealed the disciples, having been raised out from the dead. ¹⁵ Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.” ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you dearly love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you dearly love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I dearly love You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep. ¹⁸ Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you dressed yourself and walked where you desired; but when you shall be old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will dress you and will bring you where you do not desire.” ¹⁹ Now He said this signifying by what death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.” ²⁰ Having turned, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, the one who also had reclined on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is it who is betraying You?” ²¹ Therefore having seen him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” ²² Jesus says to him, “If I desire him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You follow Me!” ²³ Therefore this saying went out among the brothers, that this disciple does not die. But Jesus had not said to him that he does not die, but, “If I desire him to remain until I come, what is it to you?” ²⁴ This is the disciple bearing witness concerning these things, and the one having written these things.

¹¹ For the one being weak is destroyed through your knowledge—the brother for whom Christ died.

²¹ The greeting is in my own hand—Paul. ²² If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha!

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this, that One has died for all, therefore all have died. ¹⁵ And He died for all that those living no longer should live to themselves, but to the One having died for them and having been raised again.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any power, but only faith working through love.

¹⁴ so that no longer we might be infants, being tossed by waves and being carried about by every wind of teaching in the cunning, in the craftiness of men with a view to the scheming of deceit.

²⁴ Grace be with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.

¹⁵ Ponder these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all. ¹⁶ Give heed to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them; for doing this, you will save both yourself and those hearing you.

¹³ And there is no creature hidden before Him, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom is our reckoning.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, having brought out from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

² like newborn babies, crave pure reasonable milk, so that by it you may grow up in respect to salvation,

²⁵ For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

¹ I exhort the elders among you, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory being about to be revealed: ² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly according to God; and not for base gain but eagerly, ³ not as exercising lordship over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. ⁴ And the Chief Shepherd having been revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

³² And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

⁷² And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”

³ And He spoke to them this parable, saying, ⁴ “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety nine in the open field, and go after the one having been lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And having found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And having come to the house, he calls together the friends and the neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep, the one having been lost!’ ⁷ I say to you that in the same way there will be joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that having been lost.”

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. ¹² But the hired servant, being not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them— ¹³ because he is a hired servant and is not himself concerned about the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and I am known by My own. ¹⁵ As the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And I have other sheep which are not of this fold. It behooves Me to bring those also, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.

²⁶ But you do not believe, because you are not from among My sheep. ²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

¹⁷ Therefore the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also of the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.”

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, “Are you not also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”

² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly according to God; and not for base gain but eagerly,

¹⁷ because the Lamb in the center of the throne will shepherd them, and He will lead them to fountains living of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

⁴⁰ And the King answering, will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did it to Me.’

⁷³ And after a little while those standing by having approached, said to Peter, “Surely you are of them also, for even your speech gives you away.” ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, He having said, “Before the rooster crowing, you will deny Me three times.” And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

²⁴ But Jesus on His part did not did entrust Himself to them, because of His knowing all men, ²⁵ and because He had no need that anyone should testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but not always do you have Me.”

³⁸ Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you will deny Me three times.

¹⁵ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

³⁰ Now we know that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.”

⁴ Therefore Jesus, knowing all things that are coming upon Him, having gone forth, also said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

²⁷ Then Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

¹⁵ Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.” ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

²⁴ And having prayed, they said, “You Lord, knower of the hearts of all, show which one of these two You have chosen

⁸ And the heart-knowing God bore witness to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, as also to us.

¹² For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you, in the purity and sincerity of God, and not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God.

⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be grieved, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you. ⁵ But if anyone has caused grief, he not grieved me, but—in part, that I might not put it too severely—you all. ⁶ The punishment which is by the majority is sufficient to such a one, ⁷ so that on the contrary, rather for you to forgive and to comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be overwhelmed by more abundant sorrow.

⁸ For if also I have grieved you in the letter, I do not regret it. For even if I did regret it, I see that the letter grieved you, even if for an hour. ⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved into repentance. For you were grieved according to God, so that you might suffer loss in nothing through us. ¹⁰ For grief according to God produces repentance to salvation without regret; but the world’s grief produces death. ¹¹ For behold, how much earnestness this very same thing—to have been grieved according to God—has produced in you: but reasoned defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but vindication! In everything, you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

⁸ I do not speak as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love through the earnestness of others also. ⁹ For you know the grace our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, for the sake of you He became poor, so that you through His poverty might be enriched.

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

⁶ in which you greatly rejoice, at present for a little while if it is being necessary, having been put to grief by various trials,

¹² Therefore I will be ready always to remind you concerning these things, though knowing them and having been strengthened in the truth being present in you. ¹³ Now I esteem it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is impending, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will be diligent also for you to have at every time after my departure these things, to make a lasting remembrance.

¹ Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you, in both of which I am stirring up your pure mind in putting you in remembrance

¹⁶ By this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. ¹⁷ Now whoever might have the world’s goods, and might see his brother having need, and might close up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? ¹⁸ Little children, we should love not in word, nor in tongue, but in action and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and we will assure our heart before Him, ²⁰ that if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God, ²² and whatever we might ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him. ²³ And this is His commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another, just as He gave the commandment to us. ²⁴ And the one keeping His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us: by the Spirit whom He has given to us.

⁷ For they went forth on behalf of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ Therefore we ought to receive such men, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

¹⁹ As many as I might love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

²⁷ Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But on account of this I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.” Therefore a voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.”

³ And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to take Peter also—now these were the days of the Unleavened Bread— ⁴ whom also, having seized, he put in prison, having delivered him to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

¹¹ And having come to us and having taken Paul’s belt, having bound his feet and hands, he said, “Thus the Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

⁴ And indeed, being in the tent we groan, being burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by life.

³⁸ And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day. ²² And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This never will be to You!” ²³ And having turned, He said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For your thoughts are not of the things of God, but the things of men.” ²⁴ Then Jesus said His to disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. ²⁵ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of Me will find it.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit down upon His throne of glory, you having followed Me, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³³ And having turned and having looked upon His disciples, He rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind Me, Satan, for your thoughts are not of the things of God, but the things of men.” ³⁴ And having summoned the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross, and let him follow Me. ³⁵ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life on account of Me and of the gospel, he will save it. ³⁶ For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul? ³⁷ For what shall a man give as an exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For whoever may be ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when He shall come in the glory of His Father, with the holy angels.”

²² having said, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and on the third day to be raised.” ²³ And He was saying to all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross every day, and let him follow Me. ²⁴ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of me, he will save it. ²⁵ For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having destroyed or having suffered the loss of himself? ²⁶ For whoever may have been ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He shall come in His glory, and that of the Father and of the holy angels.

²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

³³ Now He was saying this, signifying by what death He was about to die.

³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.” ³⁷ Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You presently? I will lay down my life for You.”

³² that word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He had spoken signifying what death He was about to die.

²² Jesus says to him, “If I desire him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You follow Me!”

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope that I will be ashamed in nothing, but in all boldness also now as always, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

¹¹ if anyone speaks, as oracles of God; if anyone serves, as of strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power to the ages of the ages. Amen. ¹² Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire among you taking place for a trial to you, as if a strange thing were happening to you. ¹³ But as you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also in the revelation of His glory you may rejoice, exulting. ¹⁴ If you are insulted in the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is impending, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

²³ There was reclining one of His disciples whom Jesus loved in the bosom of Jesus. ²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter motions to him, to ask who it is about whom He is speaking? ²⁵ Then he thus having leaned on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶ Then Jesus answers, “It is he to whom I will dip the morsel and will give him.” Then having dipped the morsel, He takes it and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

³ And as He was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him in private, saying, “Tell us, when these things will be? And what is the sign of Your coming, and the consummation of the age?” ⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, “Take heed, lest anyone mislead you.

²³ And someone said to Him, “Lord, if those being saved are few?” And He said to them, ²⁴ “Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

⁶ So indeed those having come together were asking Him, saying, “Lord, at this time are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?” ⁷ And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father put in place by His own authority.

²⁷ For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory His Father, with His angels, and then He will give to each according to his deeds. ²⁸ Truly I say to you, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they have seen the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

³ And as He was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him in private, saying, “Tell us, when these things will be? And what is the sign of Your coming, and the consummation of the age?”

²⁷ For just as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

⁴⁴ Because of this, you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes in that hour you do not expect.

³¹ And when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit upon His throne of glory.

¹ And He was saying to them, “Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”

¹⁹ Now He said this signifying by what death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall have come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the motives of the hearts; and then the praise will come to each from God.

²⁶ For as often as you may eat this bread and may drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He should come.

⁷ Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it until it receives the early and latter rains.

⁷ Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen!

²⁵ But hold fast to what you have until which time I might come.

¹¹ I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.

⁷ “And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.”

²⁰ The One testifying these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

¹⁵ And in these days, Peter having stood up in the midst of the brothers, and the number of names was about a hundred twenty together, the same said,

²⁷ And you also bear witness, because you are with Me from the beginning.

³⁵ And the one having seen has borne witness, and his testimony is true. And He knows that he is speaking truth, so that you also might believe.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— ² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness, and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us—

⁶ This is the One having come by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the One testifying, because the Spirit is the truth.

¹² Witness has been given to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor are gospelized.

²⁴ And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

³⁰ So indeed Jesus also did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. ³¹ But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name.

³⁸ Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

³⁵ In everything I showed you that by thus straining, it behooves us to aid those being weak, and also to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, ‘It is more Blessed to give than to receive.’”

³² And what more shall I say? For the time will fail me, telling of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, also David, and Samuel, and the prophets,
