SimonPetersaithuntothem, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go withthee. Theywentforth, and enteredinto a shipimmediately; and thatnighttheycaughtnothing.
And he saiduntothem, Cast the net on the rightside of the ship, and ye shallfind. Theycasttherefore, and now theywere not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
ThereforethatdisciplewhomJesuslovedsaithuntoPeter, It is the Lord. Now whenSimonPeterheardthat it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’scoatunto him, (for he was naked,) and did casthimselfinto the sea.
SimonPeterwent up, and drew the net to landfull of greatfishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all therewere so many, yet was not the net broken.
So whenthey had dined, Jesussaith to SimonPeter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovestthou me morethanthese? He saithunto him, Yea, Lord; thouknowestthat I lovethee. He saithunto him, Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the secondtime, Simon, son of Jonas, lovestthou me? He saithunto him, Yea, Lord; thouknowestthat I lovethee. He saithunto him, Feed my sheep.
He saithunto him the thirdtime, Simon, son of Jonas, lovestthou me? Peter was grievedbecause he saidunto him the thirdtime, Lovestthou me? And he saidunto him, Lord, thouknowest all things; thouknowestthat I lovethee. Jesussaithunto him, Feed my sheep.
Verily, verily, I say untothee, Whenthouwastyoung, thougirdedstthyself, and walkedstwhitherthouwouldest: but whenthoushalt be old, thoushaltstretchforth thy hands, and anothershallgirdthee, and carrytheewhitherthouwouldest not.
ThenPeter, turningabout, seeth the disciplewhomJesuslovedfollowing; whichalsoleaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he thatbetrayeththee?
Thenwentthissayingabroadamong the brethren, thatthatdiscipleshould not die: yet Jesussaid not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I willthat he tarrytill I come, what is that to thee?
And there are alsomanyotherthingswhichJesus did, the which, if theyshould be writtenevery one, I supposethateven the worlditselfcould not contain the booksthatshould be written. Amen.
