John 21:1-6

Jesus Appears to the Disciples in Galilee

1 After these [things] Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed [himself] in this way:

2 Simon Peter and Thomas (who was called Didymus) and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and the [sons] of Zebedee and two others of his disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing!" They said to him, "We also are coming with you." They went out and got into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing.

4 Now [when it] was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish to eat, [do you]? They answered him, "No."

6 And he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find [some]." So they threw [it], and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.
