Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

1After these things Jesus Or made Himself visiblerevealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself in this way:

2Simon Peter, Thomas who was called I.e., the TwinDidymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

3Simon Peter *said to them, “I am going fishing.” They *said to him, “We are also coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

4But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”

6And He said to them, “Cast 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.

7Therefore 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 About 100 yd. or 90 m; a cubit is about 18 in. or 45 cmtwo hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

9So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal fire already Lit laidmade and fish placed on it, and bread.

10Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the fish 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.

Jesus Provides

12Jesus *said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord.

13Jesus *came and *took the bread and *gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

14This was now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

The Love Question

15Now when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you Gr agapaolove Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I Gr phileolove You.” He *said to him, “Tend My lambs.”

16He *said to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you Gr agapaolove Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I Gr phileolove You.” He *said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

17He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you Gr phileolove Me?” Peter was Or distressedhurt because He said to him the third time, “Do you Gr phileolove Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I Gr phileolove You.” Jesus *said to him, “Tend My sheep.

Our Times Are in His Hand

18 Truly, truly I tell you, when you were younger, you used to put on your belt and walk wherever you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will put your belt on you, and bring you where you do not want to go.”

19Now He said this, indicating by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He *said to him, “Follow Me!”

20Peter turned around and *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them—the one who also had leaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?”

21So Peter, upon seeing him, *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”

22Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

23Therefore this Lit wordaccount went out among the brothers, that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

24This is the disciple who is testifying about these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

25But there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I expect that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
