John 21
1 After these
things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were
together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of
Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith
unto them, I go afishing. They say unto him, We also go
with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship
immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the
morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith
unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered
him, No.
6 And he said unto
them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye
shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not
able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that
disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other
disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging
the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as
they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto
them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went
up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so
many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto
them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples
durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
13 Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise.
14 This is now the
third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.
