Yahukanun (John) — 21
YAHUSHA Appears to Seven Talmidym
1 Later, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA appeared again to the Talmidym beside the Sea of Galily. This is how it happened.
2 Several of the Talmidym were there, Simun Kafa, Thumas (nicknamed the Twin), Nathanaal from Cana in Galily, the sons of Zabadyahu, and two other Talmidym.
3 Simun Kafa said, “I am going fishing. “We will come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.
4 At dawn 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA was standing on the beach, but the Talmidym could not see who He was.
5 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied.
6 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will get some!” So they did, and they could not haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.
7 Then the Talmidym that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA loved said to Kafa, “It’s the Master!” When Simun Kafa heard that it was the Master, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore.
8 The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore.
9 When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them, fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.
10 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said. Bring some of the fish you have just caught,”
11 So Simun Kafa went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were one hundred and fifty three large fish, and yet the net had not torn.
12 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said. “Now come and have some breakfast!”. None of the Talmidym dared to ask 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Master Himself.
13 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA served them the bread and the fish.
14 This was the third time 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA had appeared to His Talmidym since He had been raised from the dead.
15 After breakfast 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA asked Kafa, “Simun son of Yunah, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Master,” Kafa replied, “you know I love you.”
“Then feed my lambs,” 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA told Kafa.
16 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA repeated the question, “Simun son of Yunah, do you love me?” “Yes, Master,” Kafa said, “you know I love you.” And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said. “Then take care of my sheep,”
17 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA asked Kafa the third time, “Simun son of Yunah, do you love me?” Kafa was hurt that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA asked the question a third time, he said, “Master, you know everything. You know that I love you.” And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said, “Then feed my sheep.
18 “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will dress you and take you where you do not want to go.”
19 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said this to let Kafa know by what kind of death he would esteem 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA told Kafa, “Follow me.”
20 Kafa turned around and saw behind them the Talmidym 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA loved, the one who had leaned over to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA during supper and asked, “Master, who will betray you?”
21 Kafa asked 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, “What about him, Master?”
22 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
23 So the rumor spread among the set apart believers that this Talmidym would not die. But that is not what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
24 This Talmidym is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.
25 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.
