And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth. And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind. Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
His sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

After these things Jesus shewed Himself again to the disciples near the sea of Tiberias; and He shewed Himself thus. Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together: and Simon Peter saith unto them, I will go a fishing, and they say to him, We will also go with thee. So they went out, and forthwith entered into a ship: and that night they caught nothing. read more.
But when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: though the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Young men, have ye any thing to eat? They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude of fishes. Whereupon that disciple whom Jesus loved, saith to Peter, "It is the Lord." Then Simon Peter perceiving that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, (for he was stript,) and threw himself into the sea; and the other disciples came in the boat dragging the net of fishes; for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits. And as soon as they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and fish upon it, and bread. And Jesus saith unto them, Bring some of the fish, which ye have now caught. Then Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land, full of large fishes, an hundred fifty-three: and though there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus saith unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus therefore cometh and taketh bread, and giveth it to them, and fish likewise. This was the third time that Jesus shewed Himself to a number of his disciples, after He was risen from the dead. Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.
