John 21:1-13 ▼

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, |I'm going fishing.| They told him, |We are also coming with you.| They went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Jesus therefore said to them, |Children, have you anything to eat?| They answered him, |No.|

6 And he said to them, |Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.| They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, |It's the Lord.| So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away), dragging the net full of fish.

9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, |Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.|

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net was not torn.

12 Jesus said to them, |Come and eat breakfast.| None of the disciples dared inquire of him, |Who are you?| knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
