John 21:4-13
4Early in the morning, Jesus was standing on the shore of the lake. But the disciples did not know that it was Jesus who stood there.
5Then Jesus asked them, ‘Friends, have you caught any fish?’ They answered, ‘No!’
6He said, ‘Throw your net out on the right side of the boat. If you do that, you will catch some fish.’ So they threw the net out into the water. Then they caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat.
7The disciple that Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!’ When Simon Peter heard him say, ‘It is the Lord,’ he put on his coat. (He had been wearing only a few clothes.) Then he jumped into the water.
8The other disciples followed him in the boat. They pulled the net that was full of fish behind them. They were not far from the shore. It was about 100 metres away.
9When they came to the shore, they saw that someone had lit a fire. Some fish were cooking on it. There was some bread there, too.
10Jesus said to them, ‘Bring here some of the fish that you have just caught.’
11Simon Peter got back into the boat and he pulled the net onto the shore. It was full of 153 big fish. There were so many fish, but the net had not broken.
12Jesus said to them, ‘Come here and eat breakfast.’ None of the disciples was brave enough to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ They knew that it was the Lord.
13So Jesus took the bread and he gave it to them. Then he did the same with the fish.
