1 Posle toga opet se javi Isus učenicima svojim na moru tiverijadskom. A javi se ovako: 2 Behu zajedno Simon Petar i Toma, koji se zvaše blizanac, i Natanailo iz Kane galilejske, i sinovi Zevedejevi, i druga dvojica od učenika Njegovih. 3 Reče im Simon Petar: Idem da lovim ribu. Rekoše mu: Idemo i mi s tobom. Onda iziđoše i odmah sedoše u lađu, i onu noć ne uhvatiše ništa. 4 A kad bi jutro, stade Isus na bregu; ali učenici ne poznaše da je Isus. 5 A Isus im reče: Deco! Eda li šta imate za jelo? Odgovoriše Mu: Nemamo. 6 A On im reče: Bacite mrežu s desne strane lađe, i naći ćete. Onda baciše, i već ne mogahu izvući je od mnoštva ribe. 7 Onda učenik onaj koga ljubljaše Isus reče Petru: To je Gospod. A Simon Petar kad ču da je Gospod, zapreže se košuljom, jer beše go, i skoči u more. 8 A drugi učenici dođoše na lađi, jer ne beše daleko od zemlje nego oko dvesta lakata, vukući mrežu sa ribom. 9 Kad, dakle, iziđoše na zemlju, videše oganj naložen, i na njemu metnutu ribu i hleb. 10 Isus im reče: Prinesite od ribe što sad uhvatiste. 11 A Simon Petar uđe i izvuče mrežu na zemlju punu velikih riba sto i pedeset i tri; i od tolikog mnoštva ne prodre se mreža. 12 Isus im reče: Hodite obedujte. A nijedan od učenika nije smeo da Ga pita: Ko si ti? Videći da je Gospod. 13 A dođe i Isus, i uze hleb, i dade im, tako i ribu. 14 Ovo se već treći put javi Isus učenicima svojim pošto ustade iz mrtvih. 15 A kad obedovaše, reče Isus Simonu Petru: Simone Jonin! Ljubiš li me većma nego ovi? Reče Mu: Da, Gospode! Ti znaš da Te ljubim. Reče mu Isus: Pasi jaganjce moje. 16 Reče mu opet drugom: Simone Jonin! Ljubiš li me? Reče Mu: Da, Gospode! Ti znaš da Te ljubim. Reče mu Isus: Pasi ovce moje. 17 Reče mu trećom: Simone Jonin! Ljubiš li me? A Petar posta žalostan što mu reče trećom: Ljubiš li me? I reče Mu: Gospode! Ti sve znaš, Ti znaš da Te ljubim. Reče mu Isus: Pasi ovce moje. 18 Zaista, zaista ti kažem: Kad si bio mlad, opasivao si se sam i hodio si kud si hteo; a kad ostariš, širićeš ruke svoje i drugi će te opasati i odvesti kuda nećeš. 19 A ovo reče pokazujući kakvom će smrti proslaviti Boga. I rekavši ovo reče mu: Hajde za mnom. 20 A Petar obazrevši se vide gde za njim ide onaj učenik kog Isus ljubljaše, koji i na večeri leže na prsi Njegove i reče: Gospode! Ko je taj koji će Te izdati? 21 Videvši Petar ovog reče Isusu: Gospode! A šta će ovaj? 22 Isus mu reče: Ako hoću da on ostane dokle ja ne dođem, šta je tebi do toga? Ti hajde za mnom. 23 Onda iziđe ova reč među braćom da onaj učenik neće umreti; ali Isus ne reče njemu da neće umreti, nego: Ako hoću da ostane dok ja ne dođem, šta je tebi do toga? 24 Ovo je onaj učenik koji svedoči ovo, koji i napisa ovo: i znamo da je svedočanstvo njegovo istinito. 25 A ima i drugo mnogo što učini Isus, koje kad bi se redom popisalo, ni u sami svet, mislim, ne bi mogle stati napisane knjige. Amin.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Ye have observed, beloved, that in to-day's lesson it was said by the Lord to Peter in a question, "Lovest thou Me?" To whom he answered, "Thou knowest, Lord, that I love thee." This was done a second, and a third time; and at each several reply, the Lord said, "Feed My lambs." To Peter did Christ commend His lambs …

With this third manifestation of Himself by the Lord to His disciples after His resurrection, the Gospel of the blessed Apostle John is brought to a close, of which we have already lectured through the earlier part as we were able, on to the place where it is related that an hundred and fifty-three fishes were taken by the disciples …

There are indeed many other things which are able to give us boldness towards God, and to show us bright and approved, but that which most of all brings good will from on high, is tender care for our neighbor. Which therefore Christ requireth of Peter.

… from which we gather that, even when the Lord said "diligis," He used an equivalent for "amas." Peter, too, throughout used one word for the one thing, and the third time also replied, "Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love (amo) Thee." I have judged it right to mention this, because some are of opinion that charity …

"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." And to Peter again He said not, "If thou lovest me," "do miracles," but "feed my sheep." And whereas He everywhere distinguishes him with James and John above all the rest, for what, I pray thee, did He distinguish …
