    1Jesus’ Appearance to the Disciples in Galilee After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so.

    2Simon Peter, Thomas(called Didymus), Nathanael(who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together.

    3Simon Peter told them,“I am going fishing.”“We will go with you,” they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

    4When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

    5So Jesus said to them,“Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied,“No.”

    6He told them,“Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

    7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,“It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment(for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea.

    8Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

    9When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread.

    10Jesus said,“Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.”

    4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,“Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”

    5Simon answered,“Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will lower the nets.”

    6When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.

    7So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.

    8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,“Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”

    9For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

    10and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon,“Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people!”
