JOHN
21: 1-14 After
this, Jesus appeared once more to his disciples at Lake Tiberias. This is how
it happened. Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (the one from
Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. Simon Peter said to the others, “I am going
fishing.”
“We
will come with you,” they told him. So they went out in a boat, but all that
night they did not catch a thing. As the sun was rising, Jesus stood at the
water’s edge, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then he asked
them, “Young men, haven’t you caught anything?”
“Not
a thing,” they answered. He said to them, “Throw your net out on the right side
of the boat, and you will catch come.” So they threw the net out and could not
pull it back in, because they had caught so many fish.
The
disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Peter heard
that it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment round him (for he had taken
his clothes off ) and jumped into the water. The other disciples came to shore
in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. They were not very far from land,
about a hundred metres away. When they
stepped ashore, they saw fish on it and some bread. Then Jesus said to them,
“Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Simon
Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore full of big fish, 153 in all; even
though there were so many, still the net did not tear. Jesus said to them, Come
and eat.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew
it was the Lord. So Jesus went over, took the bread and gave it to them; he did
same with the fish.
This,
then, was the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised
from death.
