There were too many fish in it.Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Simon Peter,“ It is the Lord!” As soon as Peter heard that, he put his coat on. He had taken it off earlier. Then he jumped into the water.The other disciples followed in the boat. They were towing the net full of fish. The shore was only about 100 yards away.When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals. There were fish on it. There was also some bread.Jesus said to them,“ Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat. He dragged the net to shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them. But even with that many fish the net was not torn.

And she kept pouring.When all the jars were full, she spoke to one of her sons. She said,“ Bring me another jar.” But he replied,“ There aren’t any more left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.She went and told the man of God about it. He said,“ Go and sell the oil. Pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
