Second Peter Chapter 2

{2:1} But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

{2:2} And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

{2:3} And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

{2:4} For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

{2:5} And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person,] a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

{2:6} And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

{2:7} And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

{2:8} (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds;)

{2:9} The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

{2:10} But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they,] selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

{2:11} Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

{2:12} But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

{2:13} And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

{2:14} Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

{2:15} Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

{2:16} But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

{2:17} These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

{2:18} For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

{2:19} While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

{2:20} For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

{2:21} For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it,] to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

{2:22} But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Second Peter Chapter 1

{1:1} Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

{1:2} Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

{1:3} According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

{1:4} Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

{1:5} And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

{1:6} And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

{1:7} And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

{1:8} For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

{1:9} But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

{1:10} Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

{1:11} For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

{1:12} Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them,] and be established in the present truth.

{1:13} Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;

{1:14} Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

{1:15} Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

{1:16} For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

{1:17} For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

{1:18} And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

{1:19} We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

{1:20} Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

{1:21} For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

The Book of Second John

{1:1} The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

{1:2} For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

{1:3} Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

{1:4} I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

{1:5} And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

{1:6} And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

{1:7} For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

{1:8} Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

{1:9} Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

{1:10} If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:

{1:11} For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

{1:12} Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

{1:13} The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

Philippians Chapter 4

{4:1} Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.

{4:2} I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

{4:3} And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life.

{4:4} Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

{4:5} Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

{4:6} Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

{4:7} And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

{4:8} Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

{4:9} Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

{4:10} But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

{4:11} Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.

{4:12} I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

{4:13} I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

{4:14} Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

{4:15} Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

{4:16} For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

{4:17} Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

{4:18} But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

{4:19} But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

{4:20} Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

{4:21} Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

{4:22} All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

{4:23} The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

Philippians Chapter 3

{3:1} Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe.

{3:2} Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

{3:3} For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

{3:4} Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

{3:5} Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

{3:6} Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

{3:7} But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

{3:8} Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,

{3:9} And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

{3:10} That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

{3:11} If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

{3:12} Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

{3:13} Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do,] forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

{3:14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

{3:15} Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

{3:16} Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

{3:17} Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

{3:18} (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

{3:19} Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

{3:20} For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

{3:21} Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Philippians Chapter 2

{2:1} If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

{2:2} Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.

{2:3} [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

{2:4} Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

{2:5} Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

{2:6} Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

{2:7} But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

{2:8} And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

{2:9} Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

{2:10} That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;

{2:11} And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

{2:12} Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

{2:13} For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

{2:14} Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

{2:15} That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

{2:16} Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

{2:17} Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

{2:18} For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

{2:19} But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

{2:20} For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

{2:21} For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

{2:22} But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

{2:23} Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

{2:24} But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

{2:25} Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

{2:26} For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

{2:27} For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

{2:28} I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

{2:29} Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

{2:30} Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

Philippians Chapter 1

{1:1} Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

{1:2} Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

{1:3} I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

{1:4} Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

{1:5} For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

{1:6} Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:

{1:7} Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

{1:8} For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

{1:9} And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;

{1:10} That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

{1:11} Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

{1:12} But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

{1:13} So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places; ]

{1:14} And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

{1:15} Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

{1:16} The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

{1:17} But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

{1:18} What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

{1:19} For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

{1:20} According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.

{1:21} For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

{1:22} But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

{1:23} For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

{1:24} Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.

{1:25} And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

{1:26} That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

{1:27} Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

{1:28} And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

{1:29} For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

{1:30} Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.

The Book of Philemon

{1:1} Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

{1:2} And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

{1:3} Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

{1:4} I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

{1:5} Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

{1:6} That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

{1:7} For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

{1:8} Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

{1:9} Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [thee,] being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

{1:10} I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

{1:11} Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

{1:12} Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

{1:13} Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

{1:14} But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

{1:15} For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

{1:16} Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

{1:17} If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

{1:18} If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;

{1:19} I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it:] albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

{1:20} Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

{1:21} Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

{1:22} But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

{1:23} There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

{1:24} Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

{1:25} The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.

The Book of Jude

{1:1} Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:

{1:2} Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

{1:3} Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

{1:4} For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

{1:5} I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

{1:6} And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

{1:7} Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

{1:8} Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

{1:9} Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

{1:10} But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

{1:11} Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

{1:12} These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

{1:13} Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

{1:14} And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

{1:15} To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

{1:16} These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words,] having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

{1:17} But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

{1:18} How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

{1:19} These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

{1:20} But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

{1:21} Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

{1:22} And of some have compassion, making a difference:

{1:23} And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

{1:24} Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

{1:25} To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

John Chapter 21

{21:1} After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he [himself.]

{21:2} There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

{21:3} Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

{21:4} But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

{21:5} Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

{21:6} And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

{21:7} Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt [his] fisher's coat [unto him,] (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

{21:8} And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

{21:9} As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

{21:10} Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

{21:11} Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

{21:12} Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

{21:13} Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

{21:14} This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

{21:15} So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

{21:16} He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

{21:17} He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, 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.

{21:18} Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst 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.

{21:19} This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

{21:20} Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

{21:21} Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what [shall] this man [do? ]

{21:22} Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? follow thou me.

{21:23} Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee?

{21:24} This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
