Evangelho segundo São João 21

SAGRADA BIBLIA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Depois disso, tornou Jesus a manifestar-se aos seus discípulos junto ao lago de Tiberíades. Manifestou-se deste modo:	1 After this, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way.
2 Estavam juntos Simão Pedro, Tomé {chamado Dídimo}, Natanael {que era de Caná da Galiléia}, os filhos de Zebedeu e outros dois dos seus discípulos.	2 Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples.
3 Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Responderam-lhe eles: Também nós vamos contigo. Partiram e entraram na barca. Naquela noite, porém, nada apanharam.	3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We also will come with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Chegada a manhã, Jesus estava na praia. Todavia, os discípulos não o reconheceram.	4 When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 Perguntou-lhes Jesus: Amigos, não tendes acaso alguma coisa para comer? Não, responderam-lhe.	5 Jesus said to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
6 Disse-lhes ele: Lançai a rede ao lado direito da barca e achareis. Lançaram-na, e já não podiam arrastá-la por causa da grande quantidade de peixes.	6 So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something." So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish.
7 Então aquele discípulo, que Jesus amava, disse a Pedro: É o Senhor! Quando Simão Pedro ouviu dizer que era o Senhor, cingiu-se com a túnica {porque estava nu} e lançou-se às águas.	7 So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea.
8 Os outros discípulos vieram na barca, arrastando a rede dos peixes {pois não estavam longe da terra, senão cerca de duzentos côvados}.	8 The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish.
9 Ao saltarem em terra, viram umas brasas preparadas e um peixe em cima delas, e pão.	9 When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
10 Disse-lhes Jesus: Trazei aqui alguns dos peixes que agora apanhastes.	10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you just caught."
11 Subiu Simão Pedro e puxou a rede para a terra, cheia de cento e cinqüenta e três peixes grandes. Apesar de serem tantos, a rede não se rompeu.	11 So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, comei. Nenhum dos discípulos ousou perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu?, pois bem sabiam que era o Senhor.	12 Jesus said to them, "Come, have breakfast." And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they realized it was the Lord.
13 Jesus aproximou-se, tomou o pão e lhos deu, e do mesmo modo o peixe.	13 Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish.
14 Era esta já a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos seus discípulos, depois de ter ressuscitado.	14 This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
15 Tendo eles comido, Jesus perguntou a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de João, amas-me mais do que estes? Respondeu ele: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Apascenta os meus cordeiros.	15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16 Perguntou-lhe outra vez: Simão, filho de João, amas-me? Respondeu-lhe: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Apascenta os meus cordeiros.	16 He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 Perguntou-lhe pela terceira vez: Simão, filho de João, amas-me? Pedro entristeceu-se porque lhe perguntou pela terceira vez: Amas-me?, e respondeu-lhe: Senhor, sabes tudo, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.	17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 Em verdade, em verdade te digo: quando eras mais moço, cingias-te e andavas aonde querias. Mas, quando fores velho, estenderás as tuas mãos, e outro te cingirá e te levará para onde não queres.	18 Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
19 Por estas palavras, ele indicava o gênero de morte com que havia de glorificar a Deus. E depois de assim ter falado, acrescentou: Segue-me!	19 He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."
20 Voltando-se Pedro, viu que o seguia aquele discípulo que Jesus amava {aquele que estivera reclinado sobre o seu peito, durante a ceia, e lhe perguntara: Senhor, quem é que te há de trair?}.	20 Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, "Master, who is the one who will betray you?"
21 Vendo-o, Pedro perguntou a Jesus: Senhor, e este? Que será dele?	21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
22 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Que te importa se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha? Segue-me tu.	22 Jesus said to him, "What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me."
23 Correu por isso o boato entre os irmãos de que aquele discípulo não morreria. Mas Jesus não lhe disse: Não morrerá, mas: Que te importa se quero que ele fique assim até que eu venha?	23 So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just "What if I want him to remain until I come? (What concern is it of yours?)"
24 Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho de todas essas coisas, e as escreveu. E sabemos que é digno de fé o seu testemunho.	24 It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Jesus fez ainda muitas outras coisas. Se fossem escritas uma por uma, penso que nem o mundo inteiro poderia conter os livros que se deveriam escrever.	25 There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
