John 21:1-14 - Jesus Appears To The Disciples In Galilee

¹ After this Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and this is the way He showed Himself.

² Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus, were all together.

³ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you too." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

⁴ Now just as day was breaking, Jesus took His stand on the shore, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

⁵ So Jesus said to them, "Lads, you have no fish, have you?" They answered, "No."

⁶ Then He said to them, "Set your net on the right side of the boat, and you will catch them." They did so, and they could not drag it in for the big catch of fish. ⁷ So that disciple whom Jesus used to love tenderly said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he belted on his fisherman's coat, for he had taken it off, and plunged into the sea. ⁸ The rest of the disciples followed in the little boat, for they were not far from shore -- only about a hundred yards -- dragging in the net full of fish. ⁹ When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire all made and a fish lying on it; also some bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, "Fetch some of the fish you have just caught." ¹¹ So Simon Peter got into the boat, and pulled the net ashore, full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

¹² Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared to ask Him, "Who are you?" because they knew it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.

¹⁴ This was now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead.
