SimonPeter, and 1ThomascalledDidymus, and 2Nathanael of 3Cana in Galilee, and 4the sons of Zebedee, and twoothers of His disciples were together.
3
SimonPetersaid to them, "I am goingfishing." They said to him, "We will alsocome with you." They went out and got into the boat; and 5that night they caughtnothing.
4
But when the day was nowbreaking, Jesusstood on the beach; yet the disciples did not 6know that it was Jesus.
5
SoJesussaid to them, "Children, 7you do not haveanyfish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."
6
And He said to them, "8Cast the net on the right-handside of the boat and you will find a catch."So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the greatnumber of fish.

9Therefore that disciplewhomJesuslovedsaid to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when SimonPeterheard that it was the Lord, he put his outergarment on (for he was stripped for work), and threwhimself into the sea.
8
But the otherdisciplescame in the littleboat, for they were not far from the land, but aboutonehundredyardsaway, dragging the net full of fish.
9
Sowhen they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal10fire already laid and 11fishplaced on it, and bread.
10
Jesussaid to them, "Bringsome of the 12fishwhich you have nowcaught."
11
SimonPeterwent up and drew the net to land, full of largefish, a hundred and fifty-three*; and although there were somany, the net was not torn.
