    4When the morning came, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

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

    6And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some. They cast it, and now they were unable to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

    7Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his fisher's coat (for he was stripped) and jumped into the sea.

    8And the other disciples came in a little boat (for they were not far from land, about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fish.

    9As soon as they came to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish laid on it and bread.

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

    11Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

    12Jesus said to them, Come and dine. None of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord.

    13Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and fish likewise.

    5And Simon answered and said to him, Master, we have worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word, I will let down the net.

    6And when they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net began to break.
