Yochanan 21:13-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes and takes the lechem and gives to them, likewise the dagim.

14. This was now the shlishit (third) time Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having been made to stand up alive from the mesim, was manifested to the talmidim.

15. Then when they ate, he says to Shimon Kefa, Shimon Bar-Yochanan, do you have ahavah for me more than these? Shimon Kefa says to him, Ken, Adoni, You have da'as that I have ahavah for You. He says to him, Feed My lambs.

16. He again a second time says to him, Shimon Bar-Yochanan, do you have ahavah for me? Shimon Kefa says to him, Ken, Adoni, You have da'as that I have ahavah for You. He says to him, Take care [as a ro'eh (shepherd) would] of My sheep. [2Sm 5:2; Ezek 34:2 Ps 78:71]

17. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him the shlishit time, Shimon Ben Yochanan, do you have ahavah for me? Kefa was grieved because Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him the shlishit time, Do you have ahavah for me? And he says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, You have da'as of all things. You have da'as that I have ahavah for You. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Feed My kevasim.

18. Omein, omein, I say to you, that when you were young, you were girding yourself and were walking where you wanted, but when you grow old you will extend your hands and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.

19. And this He said signifying by what mavet Shimon Kefa will glorify Hashem. After this, He said to him, Follow Me.

20. Having turned, Kefa sees the talmid ha'ahuv following them, who also was reclining at tish during the seudah upon the kheyk of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and this talmid was the one who had said Adoni, who is the one betraying you?

21. Then Kefa, having seen this one, says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, and what about this man?

22. He says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.

23. Therefore, a rumor went out saying to the achim B'Moshiach that that talmid would not die. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not tell him that he would not die, but rather, If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?
