1After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

2Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

4But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
5ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿Ⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
5Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
7ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲡⲉⲛⲇⲩⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲃⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ.
7That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
8ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲩⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲣⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲓ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲃⲧ.
8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
9ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲣⲁⲕϩⲓ ⲉⲥⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲧⲉⲃⲧ ϩⲓϫⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ.
9So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
10ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ.
10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲕ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲣ̅ⲛ̅ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲫⲱϧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲉ.
11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
12ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ.
12Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
13ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
13Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
14This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
15ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲫⲁ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲏⲃ.
15So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲥⲟⲡ ⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲫⲁ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
16He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
17ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲫⲁ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲭⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

18Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”

19Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
20ⲁϥⲫⲟⲛϩϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲣⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲏ ⲓⲕ.
20Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
21ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲟⲩ.
21Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁϥ ϣⲁϯ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲁϧⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ.
22Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
23ⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏ ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁϥ ϣⲁϯ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲁϧⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ.
23This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
24ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ.
24This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
25ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲉⲣⲭⲱⲣⲓⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁ⳿ⲥϧⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ
25There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
