John 21

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.
