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

¹ After that, Jesus disclosed himself once more to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. It was in this way.

² Simon Peter, Thomas (who was called 'the Twin'), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedaeus, and two other disciples of his, were all together.

³ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going to fish." They said, "We are coming with you too." Off they went and embarked in the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

⁴ Now at break of day Jesus was standing on the beach (though the disciples did not know it was Jesus).

⁵ "Lads," said Jesus, "have you got anything?" "No," they answered.

⁶ So he told them, "Throw your net on the right of the boat, and you will have a take." At this they threw the net, and now they could not haul it in for the mass of fish. ⁷ So the disciple who was Jesus' favourite said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Hearing it was the Lord, Simon Peter threw on his blouse (he was stripped for work) and jumped into the water, ⁸ while the rest of the disciples came ashore in the punt (they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards), dragging their netful of fish. ⁹ When they got to land, they saw a charcoal fire burning, with fish cooking on it, and some bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." ¹¹ So Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty three of them; but for all their number the net was not torn.

¹² Jesus said, "Come and breakfast." (Not one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was; 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 the third time, now, that Jesus appeared to the disciples after rising from the dead.
