    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.”
