Book

For Di Sea of Tiberias

Dem go back go fish and dem no catch anything, then for one stranger word dem pull one hundred and fifty-three fish, and dem see breakfast wey don dey cook already. For another charcoal fire Jesus ask Peter three times whether e love am, give am sheep to feed, and tell am straight: follow me.

Chapter 21.

After dis one, Jesus show imsef again to di disciples for di Sea of Tiberias—na so e take show imsef. Simon Peter, Thomas wey dem dey call Twin, Nathanael from Cana for Galilee, di sons of Zebedee, and two oda disciples dey togeda. Simon Peter tell dem, “I dey go catch fish.” Dem tok, “We go go wit you.” So dem comot go enta di boat, but dem no catch anytin dat night.

As day dey break, Jesus stand for di shore, but di disciples no know say na Jesus.

Jesus tok give dem, “Pikin dem, una get any fish?” Dem answer am, “No.”

E tell dem, “Throway di net for di right side of di boat, and una go find fish.” So dem throway am, and dem no fit pull am comot again becos of di plenty fish.

Di disciple wey Jesus love tell Peter, “Na di Lord!” As Simon Peter hear say na di Lord, e wrap im coat roun imsef—becos e don pull am comot to dey work—and e jump enta di sea. Di oda disciples come wit di boat, dey drag di net wey full of fish, becos dem no far from shore, na like one hundred yards. As dem land for ground, dem see charcoal fire wit fish on top am, and bread.

Jesus tok give dem, “Bring some of di fish wey una just catch.”

So Simon Peter climb enta di boat and drag di net come shore, e full of 153 big fish; even as dem plenty reach so, di net no tear.

Jesus tok give dem, “Come, chop breakfast.” Nobody among di disciples get mind to ask am, “Na who you be?”—becos dem know say na di Lord.

Jesus come, take di bread, and give dem, and di fish sef. Dis na di third time wey Jesus show imsef to di disciples afta dem raise am comot from dead.

Afta dem chop breakfast, Jesus ask Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, you love me wit all your heart, pass dis ones?” E answer, “Yes, Lord, you know say I love you as friend.” Jesus tell am, “Feed my small sheep.”

Di second time Jesus ask, “Simon, son of John, you love me wit all your heart?” E reply, “Yes, Lord, you know say I love you as friend.” Jesus tok, “Take care of my sheep.”

Di third time Jesus tok give am, “Simon, son of John, you love me as friend?” Peter belle pain am say Jesus ask am di third time, “You love me as friend?” and e tok, “Lord, you know evritin; you know say I love you as friend.” Jesus tok give am, “Feed my sheep.”

“Trully, trully, I dey tell you: wen you young, na you dey dress yoursef and dey go wia you wan go; but wen you don old, you go stretch your hand comot, and anoda person go dress you and carry you go wia you no wan go.” Jesus tok dis one to show di kind of dead wey Peter go take glorify our Papa. Den e tell am, “Follow me.”

Peter turn and see di disciple wey Jesus love dey follow—di one wey lean im back on Jesus for supper and ask, “Lord, na who go betray you?” Wen Peter see am, e tok give Jesus, “Lord, wetin about dis man?”

Jesus tell am, “If I want make e remain till I come, wetin concern you? You, follow me.” So dis word spread among di brodas and sistas say dis disciple no go die. But Jesus no tell am say e no go die, na, “If I want make e remain till I come, wetin concern you?”

Dis na di disciple wey dey testify to dis tins and wey write dem; we know say im testimony na true. Jesus do plenty oda tins too. If dem write down each one, I no tink say di world imsef fit hold di books wey dem go write. a a v25 Na di kind tok wey person dey use on purpose to show how plenty di tins wey Jesus do be — no be sometin dem measure sotay.
