This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death.

John 21

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
211 Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. 3 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!”The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in their boat. But they didn’t catch a thing that night.4 Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was. 5 Jesus shouted, “Friends, have you caught anything?”“No!” they answered.6 So he told them, “Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish.”They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat.7 Jesus’ favorite disciple told Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon heard that it was the Lord, he put on the clothes that he had taken off while he was working. Then he jumped into the water. 8 The boat was only about a hundred yards from shore. So the other disciples stayed in the boat and dragged in the net full of fish.9 When the disciples got out of the boat, they saw some bread and a charcoal fire with fish on it. 10 Jesus told his disciples, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.” 11 Simon Peter got back into the boat and dragged the net to shore. In it were one hundred fifty-three large fish, but still the net did not rip.12 Jesus said, “Come and eat!” But none of the disciples dared ask who he was. They knew he was the Lord. 13 Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave some of it to his disciples. He did the same with the fish. 14 This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death.

Jesus and Peter
15 When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than the others do?”Simon Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I do!”“Then feed my lambs,” Jesus said.16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you!”“Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus told him.17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, “Lord, you know everything. You know I love you.”Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep. 18 I tell you for certain that when you were a young man, you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will hold out your hands. Then others will wrap your belt around you and lead you where you don’t want to go.”19 Jesus said this to tell how Peter would die and bring honor to God. Then he said to Peter, “Follow me!”
Jesus and His Favorite Disciple
20 Peter turned and saw Jesus’ favorite disciple following them. He was the same one who had sat next to Jesus at the meal and had asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw that disciple, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”22 Jesus answered, “What is it to you, if I want him to live until I return? You must follow me.” 23 So the rumor spread among the other disciples that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He simply said, “What is it to you, if I want him to live until I return?”24 This disciple is the one who told all of this. He wrote it, and we know he is telling the truth.25 Jesus did many other things. If they were all written in books, I don’t suppose there would be room enough in the whole world for all the books.

Itulah ketiga kalinya Yesus menampakkan diri kepada murid-murid-Nya sesudah Ia bangkit dari antara orang mati

Yohanes 21

Yesus menampakkan diri kepada murid-murid-Nya di pantai danau Tiberias

21:1 Kemudian Yesus menampakkan diri lagi kepada murid-murid-Nya di pantai danau Tiberias dan Ia menampakkan diri sebagai berikut. 21:2 Di pantai itu berkumpul Simon Petrus, Tomas yang disebut Didimus, Natanael dari Kana yang di Galilea, anak-anak Zebedeus dan dua orang murid-Nya yang lain. 21:3 Kata Simon Petrus kepada mereka: “Aku pergi menangkap ikan.” Kata mereka kepadanya: “Kami pergi juga dengan engkau.” Mereka berangkat lalu naik ke perahu, tetapi malam itu mereka tidak menangkap apa-apa. 21:4 Ketika hari mulai siang, Yesus berdiri di pantai; akan tetapi murid-murid itu tidak tahu, bahwa itu adalah Yesus. 21:5 Kata Yesus kepada mereka: “Hai anak-anak, adakah kamu mempunyai lauk-pauk?” Jawab mereka: “Tidak ada.” 21:6 Maka kata Yesus kepada mereka: “Tebarkanlah jalamu di sebelah kanan perahu, maka akan kamu peroleh.” Lalu mereka menebarkannya dan mereka tidak dapat menariknya lagi karena banyaknya ikan. 21:7 Maka murid yang dikasihi Yesus itu berkata kepada Petrus: “Itu Tuhan.” Ketika Petrus mendengar, bahwa itu adalah Tuhan, maka ia mengenakan pakaiannya, sebab ia tidak berpakaian, lalu terjun ke dalam danau. 21:8 Murid-murid yang lain datang dengan perahu karena mereka tidak jauh dari darat, hanya kira-kira dua ratus hasta saja dan mereka menghela jala yang penuh ikan itu. 21:9 Ketika mereka tiba di darat, mereka melihat api arang dan di atasnya ikan dan roti. 21:10 Kata Yesus kepada mereka: “Bawalah beberapa ikan, yang baru kamu tangkap itu.” 21:11 Simon Petrus naik ke perahu lalu menghela jala itu ke darat, penuh ikan-ikan besar: seratus lima puluh tiga ekor banyaknya, dan sungguhpun sebanyak itu, jala itu tidak koyak. 21:12 Kata Yesus kepada mereka: “Marilah dan sarapanlah.” Tidak ada di antara murid-murid itu yang berani bertanya kepada-Nya: “Siapakah Engkau?” Sebab mereka tahu, bahwa Ia adalah Tuhan. 21:13 Yesus maju ke depan, mengambil roti dan memberikannya kepada mereka, demikian juga ikan itu. 21:14 Itulah ketiga kalinya Yesus menampakkan diri kepada murid-murid-Nya sesudah Ia bangkit dari antara orang mati.

Gembalakanlah domba-domba-Ku

21:15 Sesudah sarapan Yesus berkata kepada Simon Petrus: “Simon, anak Yohanes, apakah engkau mengasihi Aku lebih dari pada mereka ini?” Jawab Petrus kepada-Nya: “Benar Tuhan, Engkau tahu, bahwa aku mengasihi Engkau.” Kata Yesus kepadanya: “Gembalakanlah domba-domba-Ku.” 21:16 Kata Yesus pula kepadanya untuk kedua kalinya: “Simon, anak Yohanes, apakah engkau mengasihi Aku?” Jawab Petrus kepada-Nya: “Benar Tuhan, Engkau tahu, bahwa aku mengasihi Engkau.” Kata Yesus kepadanya: “Gembalakanlah domba-domba-Ku.” 21:17 Kata Yesus kepadanya untuk ketiga kalinya: “Simon, anak Yohanes, apakah engkau mengasihi Aku?” Maka sedih hati Petrus karena Yesus berkata untuk ketiga kalinya: “Apakah engkau mengasihi Aku?” Dan ia berkata kepada-Nya: “Tuhan, Engkau tahu segala sesuatu, Engkau tahu, bahwa aku mengasihi Engkau.” Kata Yesus kepadanya: “Gembalakanlah domba-domba-Ku. 21:18 Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya ketika engkau masih muda engkau mengikat pinggangmu sendiri dan engkau berjalan ke mana saja kaukehendaki, tetapi jika engkau sudah menjadi tua, engkau akan mengulurkan tanganmu dan orang lain akan mengikat engkau dan membawa engkau ke tempat yang tidak kaukehendaki.” 21:19 Dan hal ini dikatakan-Nya untuk menyatakan bagaimana Petrus akan mati dan memuliakan Allah. Sesudah mengatakan demikian Ia berkata kepada Petrus: “Ikutlah Aku.”

Murid yang dikasihi Yesus

21:20 Ketika Petrus berpaling, ia melihat bahwa murid yang dikasihi Yesus sedang mengikuti mereka, yaitu murid yang pada waktu mereka sedang makan bersama duduk dekat Yesus dan yang berkata: “Tuhan, siapakah dia yang akan menyerahkan Engkau?” 21:21 Ketika Petrus melihat murid itu, ia berkata kepada Yesus: “Tuhan, apakah yang akan terjadi dengan dia ini?” 21:22 Jawab Yesus: “Jikalau Aku menghendaki, supaya ia tinggal hidup sampai Aku datang, itu bukan urusanmu. Tetapi engkau: ikutlah Aku.” 21:23 Maka tersebarlah kabar di antara saudara-saudara itu, bahwa murid itu tidak akan mati. Tetapi Yesus tidak mengatakan kepada Petrus, bahwa murid itu tidak akan mati, melainkan: “Jikalau Aku menghendaki supaya ia tinggal hidup sampai Aku datang, itu bukan urusanmu.”

Kata penutup

21:24 Dialah murid, yang memberi kesaksian tentang semuanya ini dan yang telah menuliskannya dan kita tahu, bahwa kesaksiannya itu benar. 21:25 Masih banyak hal-hal lain lagi yang diperbuat oleh Yesus, tetapi jikalau semuanya itu harus dituliskan satu per satu, maka agaknya dunia ini tidak dapat memuat semua kitab yang harus ditulis itu.

Many false prophets have already gone out into the world, and you can know which ones come from God. His Spirit says that Jesus Christ had a truly human body. But when someone doesn’t say this about Jesus, you know that person has a spirit that doesn’t come from God and is the enemy of Christ

1 John 4

God Is Love
41 Dear friends, don’t believe everyone who claims to have the Spirit of God. Test them all to find out if they really do come from God. Many false prophets have already gone out into the world, 2 and you can know which ones come from God. His Spirit says that Jesus Christ had a truly human body. 3 But when someone doesn’t say this about Jesus, you know that person has a spirit that doesn’t come from God and is the enemy of Christ. You knew that this enemy was coming into the world and now is already here.4 Children, you belong to God, and you have defeated these enemies. God’s Spirit is in you and is more powerful than the one that is in the world. 5 These enemies belong to this world, and the world listens to them, because they speak its language. 6 We belong to God, and everyone who knows God will listen to us. But the people who don’t know God won’t listen to us. That is how we can tell the Spirit that speaks the truth from the one that tells lies.7 My dear friends, we must love each other. Love comes from God, and when we love each other, it shows that we have been given new life. We are now God’s children, and we know him. 8 God is love, and anyone who doesn’t love others has never known him. 9 God showed his love for us when he sent his only Son into the world to give us life. 10 Real love isn’t our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. 11 Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we must love each other.12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in our hearts.13 God has given us his Spirit. That is how we know that we are one with him, just as he is one with us. 14 God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We saw his Son and are now telling others about him. 15 God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That’s how we stay one with God 16 and are sure that God loves us.God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us. 17 If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won’t be worried about the day of judgment. 18 A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love.19 We love because God loved us first. 20 But if we say we love God and don’t love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don’t love the people we can see? 21 The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other!”

janganlah percaya akan setiap roh, tetapi ujilah roh-roh itu, apakah mereka berasal dari Allah

1 Yohanes 4

Roh Allah dan roh antikristus

4:1 Saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, janganlah percaya akan setiap roh, tetapi ujilah roh-roh itu, apakah mereka berasal dari Allah; sebab banyak nabi-nabi palsu yang telah muncul dan pergi ke seluruh dunia. 4:2 Demikianlah kita mengenal Roh Allah: setiap roh yang mengaku, bahwa Yesus Kristus telah datang sebagai manusia, berasal dari Allah, 4:3 dan setiap roh, yang tidak mengaku Yesus, tidak berasal dari Allah. Roh itu adalah roh antikristus dan tentang dia telah kamu dengar, bahwa ia akan datang dan sekarang ini ia sudah ada di dalam dunia. 4:4 Kamu berasal dari Allah, anak-anakku, dan kamu telah mengalahkan nabi-nabi palsu itu; sebab Roh yang ada di dalam kamu, lebih besar dari pada roh yang ada di dalam dunia. 4:5 Mereka berasal dari dunia; sebab itu mereka berbicara tentang hal-hal duniawi dan dunia mendengarkan mereka. 4:6 Kami berasal dari Allah: barangsiapa mengenal Allah, ia mendengarkan kami; barangsiapa tidak berasal dari Allah, ia tidak mendengarkan kami. Itulah tandanya Roh kebenaran dan roh yang menyesatkan.

Everyone who has faith in the Son has eternal life. But no one who rejects him will ever share in that life, and God will be angry with them forever.

John 3

Jesus and John the Baptist

22 Later, Jesus and his disciples went to Judea, where he stayed with them for a while and was baptizing people.23-24 John had not yet been put in jail. He was at Aenon near Salim, where there was a lot of water, and people were coming there for John to baptize them.25 John’s followers got into an argument with a Jewish man about a ceremony of washing. 26 They went to John and said, “Rabbi, you spoke about a man when you were with him east of the Jordan. He is now baptizing people, and everyone is going to him.”27 John replied:No one can do anything unless God in heaven allows it. 28 You surely remember how I told you that I am not the Messiah. I am only the one sent ahead of him.29 At a wedding the groom is the one who gets married. The best man is glad just to be there and to hear the groom’s voice. That’s why I am so glad. 30 Jesus must become more important, while I become less important.

The One Who Comes from Heaven

31 God’s Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others. 32 He speaks about what he has seen and heard, and yet no one believes him. 33 But everyone who does believe him has shown that God is truthful. 34 The Son was sent to speak God’s message, and he has been given the full power of God’s Spirit.35 The Father loves the Son and has given him everything.36 Everyone who has faith in the Son has eternal life. But no one who rejects him will ever share in that life, and God will be angry with them forever.

Barangsiapa percaya kepada Anak, ia beroleh hidup yang kekal, tetapi barangsiapa tidak taat kepada Anak, ia tidak akan melihat hidup, melainkan murka Allah tetap ada di atasnya.”

Yohanes 3

Kesaksian Yohanes tentang Yesus

3:22 Sesudah itu Yesus pergi dengan murid-murid-Nya ke tanah Yudea dan Ia diam di sana bersama-sama mereka dan membaptis. 3:23 Akan tetapi Yohanespun membaptis juga di Ainon, dekat Salim, sebab di situ banyak air, dan orang-orang datang ke situ untuk dibaptis, 3:24 sebab pada waktu itu Yohanes belum dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. 3:25 Maka timbullah perselisihan di antara murid-murid Yohanes dengan seorang Yahudi tentang penyucian. 3:26 Lalu mereka datang kepada Yohanes dan berkata kepadanya: “Rabi, orang yang bersama dengan engkau di seberang sungai Yordan dan yang tentang Dia engkau telah memberi kesaksian, Dia membaptis juga dan semua orang pergi kepada-Nya.” 3:27 Jawab Yohanes: “Tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat mengambil sesuatu bagi dirinya, kalau tidak dikaruniakan kepadanya dari sorga. 3:28 Kamu sendiri dapat memberi kesaksian, bahwa aku telah berkata: Aku bukan Mesias, tetapi aku diutus untuk mendahului-Nya. 3:29 Yang empunya mempelai perempuan, ialah mempelai laki-laki; tetapi sahabat mempelai laki-laki, yang berdiri dekat dia dan yang mendengarkannya, sangat bersukacita mendengar suara mempelai laki-laki itu. Itulah sukacitaku, dan sekarang sukacitaku itu penuh. 3:30 Ia harus makin besar, tetapi aku harus makin kecil. 3:31 Siapa yang datang dari atas adalah di atas semuanya; siapa yang berasal dari bumi, termasuk pada bumi dan berkata-kata dalam bahasa bumi. Siapa yang datang dari sorga adalah di atas semuanya. 3:32 Ia memberi kesaksian tentang apa yang dilihat-Nya dan yang didengar-Nya, tetapi tak seorangpun yang menerima kesaksian-Nya itu. 3:33 Siapa yang menerima kesaksian-Nya itu, ia mengaku, bahwa Allah adalah benar. 3:34 Sebab siapa yang diutus Allah, Dialah yang menyampaikan firman Allah, karena Allah mengaruniakan Roh-Nya dengan tidak terbatas. 3:35 Bapa mengasihi Anak dan telah menyerahkan segala sesuatu kepada-Nya. 3:36 Barangsiapa percaya kepada Anak, ia beroleh hidup yang kekal, tetapi barangsiapa tidak taat kepada Anak, ia tidak akan melihat hidup, melainkan murka Allah tetap ada di atasnya.”

Jesus answered:I tell you for certain that before you can get into God’s kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit

John 3

Jesus and Nicodemus
31 There was a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a Jewish leader. 2 One night he went to Jesus and said, “Sir, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.”3 Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!”4 Nicodemus asked, “How can a grown man ever be born a second time?”5 Jesus answered:I tell you for certain that before you can get into God’s kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit. 6 Humans give life to their children. Yet only God’s Spirit can change you into a child of God. 7 Don’t be surprised when I say that you must be born from above. 8 Only God’s Spirit gives new life. The Spirit is like the wind that blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the wind, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.10 Jesus replied:How can you be a teacher of Israel and not know these things? 11 I tell you for certain that we know what we are talking about because we have seen it ourselves. But none of you will accept what we say. 12 If you don’t believe when I talk to you about things on earth, how can you possibly believe if I talk to you about things in heaven?13 No one has gone up to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from there. 14 And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as that metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert. 15 Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life.16 God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! 18 No one who has faith in God’s Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn’t have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God’s only Son.19 The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light. 20 People who do evil hate the light and won’t come to the light, because it clearly shows what they have done. 21 But everyone who lives by the truth will come to the light, because they want others to know that God is really the one doing what they do.
