Recording by Sam Stinson by his faith dot com. Chapter
twenty one. After these things, Jesus manifested himself again to

(00:22):
the disciples at the sea of Tiberius. And he manifested
himself on this wise there were together Simon, Peter and Thomas,
called Didymus and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and the
sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon
Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say
unto him, we also come with thee. They went forth

(00:45):
and entered into the boat, and that night they took nothing.
But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach.
Yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus
therefore saith unto them, children, have ye ought to eat?
They answered him no, And he said unto them, cast
the net on the right side of the boat, and

(01:06):
ye shall find They cast Therefore and now they were
not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.
That disciple therefore, whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, it
is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it
was the Lord, he girt his coat about him, for
he was naked, and cast himself into the sea. But

(01:28):
the other disciples came in the little boat, for they
were not far from the land, but about two hundred
cubits off, dragging the net full of fishes. So when
they got out upon the land, they see a fire
of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus
saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have

(01:49):
now taken. Simon Peter therefore went up and drew the
net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and
fifty and three. And for all there were so many,
the net was not rent. Jesus saith unto them, Come
and break your fast, And none of the disciples durst
inquire of him, who art thou knowing that it was

(02:09):
the Lord. Jesus cometh and taketh the bread and giveth
them and the fish. Likewise, this is now the third
time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples. After that
he was risen from the dead. So when they had
broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
of John, lovest thou me more than these. He saith

(02:31):
unto him. YEA, Lord, thou knowest that I love THEE.
He saith unto him. Feed my lambs. He saith to
him again a second time. Simon, son of John, lovest
thou me, He saith unto him. YEA Lord, thou knowest
that I love THEE. He saith unto him. Tend my sheep.

(02:52):
He saith unto him the third time. Simon, son of John,
lovest thou me. Peter was grieved because he said unto him.
The third time, lovest thou me, And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things. Thou knowest that I love THEE.
Jesus saith unto him. Feed my sheep. Verily, verily I
say unto THEE. When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself

(03:15):
and walkest whither thou wouldest. But when thou shalt be old,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird
thee and carry thee whither thou wouldest not? Now this
he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should
glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith
unto him. Follow me. Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple

(03:39):
whom Jesus loved, following, who also leaned back on his
breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he
that betrayeth thee? Peter, therefore, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord,
and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him.
If I will that he tarry till I come, what
is that to THEE? Follow thou me? This saying therefore

(04:01):
went forth among the brethren that that disciple should not die.
Yet Jesus said not unto him that he should not die.
But if I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee? This is the disciple that
beareth witness of these things and wrote these things. And
we know that his witness is true. And there are

(04:21):
also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one. I suppose that even
the world itself would not contain the books that should
be written. And of Chapter twenty one and also the
end of the gospel according to John
