That disciple
1whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
2he put on his outer garment, for he was
3stripped for work, and
4threw himself into the sea.
8
The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.
9
When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread.
10
Jesus said to them,
"Bring some of the fish that you have just caught."
11
So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
12
Jesus said to them,
5"Come and 6have breakfast." Now
7none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.
13
Jesus came and
8took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.
14
9This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus and Peter
15 When they had
10finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
11"Simon, 12son of John, 13do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him,
"Feed 14my lambs."
16
He said to him a second time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him,
15"Tend 16my sheep."
17
He said to him the third time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him
17the third time,
"Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord,
18you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him,
"Feed 19my sheep.
