John 21:4-13

4But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not 1know that it was Jesus. 5So Jesus said to them, “Children, 2you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” 6And He said to them, “3Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish.” So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity of fish. 74Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (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 5two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

9So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal 6fire already 7made and 8fish placed on it, and bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the 9fish which you have now caught.” 11So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and have 10breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13Jesus came and took 11the bread and gave it to them, and the 12fish likewise.
