John 21:1-14 - Jesus Appears To The Disciples In Galilee

¹ After this, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias. And he showed himself in this way.

² There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

³ Simon Peter said to them: I am going a fishing. They said to him: We also are going with you. They went out and entered the ship; and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

⁵ Then Jesus said to them: Children, have you any food? They answered him: No.

⁶ He said to them: Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you will find. They threw it, there fore, and were no longer able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. ⁷ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. And when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded on his outer coat, for he had on his inner garment only, and threw himself into the sea. ⁸ And the other disciples came in a little ship, dragging the net with fishes, for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits. ⁹ As soon as they had come to the land, they saw there a fire of coals, and fish lying upon it, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them; Bring of the fish that you have just taken. ¹¹ Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three. And though they were so many, the net did not break.

¹² Jesus said to them: Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? because they knew it was the Lord. ¹³ Then Jesus came and took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

¹⁴ This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
