John 21
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.
2 Ref Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.
3 Ref Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.
4 Ref Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).
5 Ref So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.
6 Ref And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.
7 Ref So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.
8 Ref And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.
9 Ref When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.
11 Ref So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.
12 Ref Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

1 Ref After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested `himself' on this wise.
2 Ref There was together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the `sons' of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Ref Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing.
4 Ref But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Ref Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.
6 Ref And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Ref That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
8 Ref But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net `full' of fishes.
9 Ref So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken.
11 Ref Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent.
12 Ref Jesus saith unto them, Come `and' break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
