John 21:1-8

1After these things Jesus 1 2manifested Himself 3again to the disciples at the 4Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. 2Simon Peter, and 5Thomas called 6Didymus, and 7Nathanael of 8Cana in Galilee, and 9the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and 10that night they caught nothing.

4But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not 11know that it was Jesus. 5So Jesus said to them, “Children, 12you do not have 13any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” 6And He said to them, “14Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 7 15Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. 8But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about 16one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
