The disciples were in awe. They asked: What kind of man is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him? When he arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarenes two men possessed by demons came to him from out of the tombs. They were extremely violent, so no man could pass by that way. They screamed at him, saying: What have we to do with you, Son of God? Have you come to torment us before the time? A large herd of swine was feeding in the distance. The demons pleaded with him: If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine! He told them to go. And they came out, and went into the swine.

Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. When he noticed how strong the wind was, he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried: Help me Lord! Suddenly, Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him, and said: You of little faith, why were you in doubt? The wind went down when they got into the boat. Those on the boat loved him intensely, saying: Truly, you are the Son of God!

And he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. read more.
When he finished speaking he asked Simon to put into deep water and let down the nets for a catch. Simon answered, Master we worked all night and caught nothing. At your word I will let down the nets. When they did this they caught a large number of fish and their nets were breaking. They called their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They filled both boats until they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at Jesus' knees. He said: Depart from me for I am a sinful man, O Lord. He and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish.

He said to his disciples: Let us go to the other side of the lake. Then he and his disciples boarded a boat and did so. Jesus fell asleep as they sailed to the other side.

Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He presented himself this way.

They told him: We would also come with you. They boarded the boat and caught nothing that night. read more.

They answered him: No. He said: Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find fish. They cast it and they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat about him (for he was dressed only in undergarments), and jumped into the sea. 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 fishes. When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said: Bring the fish you caught. Simon Peter went to draw the net to land. It was full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three in all. There were so many and yet the net was not torn.
