John 21:1-14

John 21:1

After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

John 21:2

Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

John 21:3

Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

John 21:4

But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

John 21:5

Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

John 21:6

He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

John 21:7

That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

John 21:8

But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

John 21:9

So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

John 21:10

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

John 21:11

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

John 21:12

Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

John 21:13

Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

John 21:14

This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
