Chapters 20 - 21: The Risen Jesus appears to seven disciples (GospJohn 20:30 - 21:25)

Transl. from NRSV Updated edition (2021):

Gospel according to John [Purpose 20:30-31]

Now Jesus did many other signs in

the Presence of his disciples that are

not written in this book.  But these

are written so that you may continue/

may come to believe that Jesus is

the Messiah, the Son of God, and

that through believing you may have 

life in his name.

Chapter 21: 1-2, 9-14,. and 24-25

After these things Jesus showed 

himself again to the disciples by the

Sea of Tiberias and he showed himself

in this way.  Gathered there together

were Simon Peter, Thomas called 

Didymus / the Twin, Nathaniel of

Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,

and two others of his disciples. . .

When they had gone ashore, they saw

a charcoal fire there, with fish on it,

and bread.  Jesus said to them, "Bring

some of the fish that you have just

caught!"

So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled

the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of

them, and though there were so many,

the net was not torn.  Jesus said to them,

"Come and have breakfast."

Now none of them dared to ask him, 

"Who are you?" because they knew it

was the Lord.  Jesus came and took

the bread and gave it to them and did

the same with the fish.  This was now 

the third time that Jesus appeared to the

disciples after he was raised from the

dead. . .

This is the disciple who is testifying to

these things and has written them, and

we know that his testimony is true.  But

there are also many other things that

Jesus did; if every one of them were

written down, I suppose that the

world itself could not contain the

books that would be written.
