    4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.

    5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

    6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

    7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

    8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

    9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

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

    11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn.

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

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