They said vnto him, We also will goe with thee. They went their way & entred into a ship straightway, and that night caught they nothing. 4 But when the morning was nowe come, Iesus stoode on the shore: neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus. 5 Iesus then said vnto them, Syrs, haue ye any meate? They answered him, No. 6 Then he said vnto them, Cast out the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall finde. So they cast out, & they were not able at all to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. 7 Therefore said the disciple whom Iesus loued, vnto Peter, It is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lorde, he girded his coate to him (for he was naked) and cast himselfe into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came by shippe (for they were not farre from land, but about two hundreth cubites) and they drewe the net with fishes. 9 Assoone then as they were come to land, they sawe hoate coales, and fish laide thereon, and bread. 10 Iesus saide vnto them, Bring of the fishes, which ye haue nowe caught. 11 Simon Peter stepped foorth and drewe the net to land, full of great fishes, an hundreth, fiftie and three: and albeit there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 12 Iesus saide vnto them, Come, and dine; none of the disciples durst aske him, Who art thou? seeing they knewe that he was the Lord. 13 Iesus then came and tooke bread, and gaue them, and fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Iesus shewed himselfe to his disciples, after that he was risen againe from the dead.
