John 21:1–14 A Meal on the Beach with Jesus

After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way.
The group was Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” They replied, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.”
He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”

So they cast it, and were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped for work), and plunged into the sea.

The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish,

for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards.

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there,
with a fish placed on it, and bread.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”

So Simon Peter went back out.

And he hauled the net to shore, full of large fish, 153 of them. But although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”

Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
