    5Jesus said to them, 'Children, do you have any fish?' They answered him, 'No.'

    7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!' When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around himself (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the sea.

    9When they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and some bread.

    10Jesus said to them, 'Bring some of the fish you have just caught.'

    11Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to shore. It was filled with large fish, 153 in total. Even with so many fish, the net was not torn.

    12Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.' None of the disciples dared to ask him, 'Who are you?' because they knew it was the Lord.

    13Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them, and he did the same with the fish.

    7So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
