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

¹ Later on, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.

² It was in this way:--Simon Peter, Thomas, who was called 'The Twin,' Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, Zebediah's sons, and two other disciples of Jesus, were together, when Simon Peter said:

³ "I am going fishing." "We will come with you," said the others. They went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.

⁴ Just as day was breaking, Jesus came and stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was he.

⁵ "My children," he said, "have you anything to eat?" "No," they answered.

⁶ "Cast your net to the right of the boat," he said, "and you will find fish." So they cast the net, and now they could not haul it in on account of the quantity of fish. ⁷ Upon this the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: "It is the Master!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat round him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the Sea. ⁸ But the rest of the disciples came in the boat (for they were only about a hundred yards from shore), dragging the net full of fish. ⁹ When they had come ashore, they found a charcoal fire ready, with some fish already on it, and some bread as well.

¹⁰ "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught," said Jesus. ¹¹ So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not been torn.

¹² And Jesus said to them: "Come and breakfast." Not one of the disciples ventured to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master. ¹³ Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.

¹⁴ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
