John 21:1-8 ▼

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, therefore, 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.
