\subsection{John 21}
|
|
\subsubsection{Jesus's Appearance to the Disciples in Galilee}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{A}{fter} those [things]
|
|
Jesus again revealed himself to the disciples upon the sea of Tiberias;
|
|
now he revealed himself thus:
|
|
\VS{2} There were together Simon Peter 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 Peter says to them:
|
|
I go to be 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 Jesus stood upon the
|
|
shore, though the disciples did not know that it is Jesus.
|
|
\VS{5} Jesus 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. They therefore threw [the net], and were not strong enough to
|
|
pull\fnElkuo{} it from the multitude of fish.
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} The disciple whom Jesus
|
|
agape-loved therefore says to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter 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}, 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} Jesus says to them: Bring some of the fish that you now caught.
|
|
\VS{11} Simon Peter went up and pulled\fnElkuo{} the net onto the land full of large fish,
|
|
one hundred fifty three. And being so many [fish] it didn't tear the net.
|
|
\VS{12} Jesus says to them: Come, eat. None of the disciples dared
|
|
to ask him: ``Who are you?'' knowing that it is the Lord.
|
|
\VS{13} Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish likewise.
|
|
\VS{14} This already Jesus thrice to the disciples was revealed, having been raised from the dead.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Peter's Restoration}
|
|
\VS{15} When therefore they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says
|
|
\footnote{ Note that Jesus asks Peter ``do you love me?'' three times --- the same
|
|
number of times that Peter denied him.}
|
|
to Simon Peter: Simon [son] of John, do
|
|
you agape-love me more than these\footnote{
|
|
Who `these' (TOUTON ($\tau\omicron\upsilon\tau\omicron\nu$) 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? Peter 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. Jesus 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{Peter and the Disciple Jesus Loved}
|
|
\VS{20} Peter turning sees the disciple whom Jesus agape-loved following, who also
|
|
reclined at dinner upon his breast and said: Lord, who is the [one]
|
|
delivering you up?
|
|
\VS{21} Peter therefore seeing this [one] says to Jesus: Lord,
|
|
but what [about] this [one]?
|
|
\VS{22} Jesus 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 Jesus 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 Jesus did which if it be
|
|
written in one, I do not suppose the world itself could hold the scrolls
|
|
written.
