6
He said,
“Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
7
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
8
The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.
9
When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
10
Jesus said to them,
“Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
11
So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
12
Jesus said to them,
“Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
13
Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14
This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
“Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,
“Feed my lambs.”
16
Again Jesus said,
“Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,
“Take care of my sheep.”
