\subsection{\John 21}
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous's Appearance to the Disciples in \Galilee}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{A}{fter} those [things]
|
|
\Iesous again revealed himself to the disciples upon the sea of Tiberias;
|
|
now he revealed himself thus:
|
|
\VS{2} There were together \Simon \Petros and \Thomas the [one] being called Didymus
|
|
and Nathanael the [one] from Cana of \Galilee and the [sons] of \Zebedee
|
|
and two others of his disciples.
|
|
\VS{3} \Simon \Petros says to them:
|
|
I go fishing.
|
|
They say to him:
|
|
We also come with you.
|
|
They went out and embarked into the boat,
|
|
and in that night they caught nothing.
|
|
|
|
\VS{4} Now when dawn already came to pass \Iesous stood upon the shore,
|
|
though the disciples did not know that it is \Iesous.
|
|
\VS{5} \Iesous therefore says to them:
|
|
Children, don't you have any fish?
|
|
They answered him: No.
|
|
|
|
\VS{6} So he said to them: Throw the net to the right side of the boat,
|
|
and you will find [some].
|
|
They therefore threw [the net], and were not strong enough
|
|
to pull\fnElkuo{} it [in] from the multitude of fish.
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} The disciple whom \Iesous agape-loved therefore says to \Petros:
|
|
It is the Lord.
|
|
\Simon \Petros therefore having heard that it is the Lord,
|
|
put on his outer garment, for he was naked,
|
|
and threw himself into the sea.
|
|
\VS{8} But the other disciples came in the boat,
|
|
for they were not far from the land but [were about] two hundred cubits\footnote{cubit = 18 inches} [out],
|
|
dragging the net of fish.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} As therefore they came to the land, they see [a] coal fire lying,
|
|
and fish lying upon [it] and bread.
|
|
\VS{10} \Iesous says to them: Bring some of the fish that you now caught.
|
|
\VS{11} \Simon \Petros went up and pulled\fnElkuo{} the net onto the land full of large fish,
|
|
one hundred fifty three\footnote{Augustine noted that 153 is a `triangular number':
|
|
1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + 17. He built a numerological reading around it:
|
|
``17 = 10 + 7, the Law plus the Spirit's gifts'' ---
|
|
the kind of patristic number-symbolism that was completely mainstream
|
|
exegetical method at the time, even if it reads as a stretch to modern sensibilities.}.
|
|
And being so many [fish] it didn't tear the net.
|
|
\VS{12} \Iesous says to them: Come, eat.
|
|
None of the disciples dared to ask him: ``Who are you?'' knowing that it is the Lord.
|
|
\VS{13} \Iesous comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish likewise.
|
|
\VS{14} This already \Iesous thrice to the disciples was revealed,
|
|
having been raised from the dead.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Petros's Restoration}
|
|
\VS{15} When therefore they had eaten breakfast, \Iesous says
|
|
\footnote{ Note that \Iesous asks \Petros ``do you love me?'' three times --- the same
|
|
number of times that \Petros denied him.}
|
|
to \Simon \Petros:
|
|
\Simon [son] of \John, do you agape-love me more than these%
|
|
\footnote{Who `these' are is ambiguous. The options are:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item TOUTON (`these') can be understood as neuter, ``these things'', referring to the boats, nets --- being a fisherman. In other words: ``Do you agape-love me more than being a fisherman''?
|
|
\item TOUTON (`these') refers to the other disciples, meaning ``Do you agape-love me more than you love these other disciples?''
|
|
\item Or TOUTON (`these') refers to the other disciples in the sense of ``Do you agape-love me more than these other disciples do?''
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
}?
|
|
He says to them: Yes, Lord, you know that I philia-love you.
|
|
He says to him: Be tending\fnBoskw{} my lambs.
|
|
\VS{16} He says to him again [a] second time:
|
|
\Simon [son] of \John, do you agape-love me?
|
|
He says to him: Yes Lord, you know that I philia-love you.
|
|
He says to him: Be shepherding%
|
|
\footnote{Verb form of 'sheperd' as in ``I am the good sheperd'' \myxref{\John}{10}{15}}
|
|
my sheep.
|
|
\VS{17} He says to him the third time:
|
|
\Simon [son] of \John, do you philia-love me?
|
|
\Petros was grieved because he said to him the third time:
|
|
Do you philia-love me?
|
|
And he said to him:
|
|
You know everything, you know that I philia-love you.
|
|
\Iesous says to him: Be tending\fnBoskw{} my sheep.
|
|
\VS{18} Truly truly I say to you, when you were young,
|
|
you were girding yourself and were walking [about] where you were wishing.
|
|
But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
|
|
and others will gird you and take [you] where you do not wish.
|
|
\VS{19} Now he said this indicating by what sort of death he will glorify God.
|
|
And having said this he says to them: Be following me.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Petros and the Disciple \Iesous Loved}
|
|
\VS{20} \Petros turning sees the disciple whom \Iesous agape-loved following,
|
|
who also reclined at dinner upon his breast and said:
|
|
Lord, who is the [one] delivering you up?
|
|
\VS{21} \Petros therefore seeing him says to \Iesous:
|
|
Lord, but what [about] him?
|
|
\VS{22} \Iesous says to him:
|
|
If I wish him to be remaining until I come, what [is it] to you?
|
|
You be following me.
|
|
\VS{23} This word therefore went out to the brothers that this disciple will not die.
|
|
But \Iesous did not say to him that he will not die, but:
|
|
If I wish him to be remaining until I come, what [is it] to you?
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{A Final Note}
|
|
\VS{24} This is the disciple witnessing concerning these [things]
|
|
and the [one] having written these [things],
|
|
and we know that his witness is true.
|
|
\VS{25} But there are also many other [things] that \Iesous did
|
|
which if it be written in one,
|
|
I do not suppose the world itself could hold the scrolls written.
