1 Later, Jesus himself appeared again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is how it happened:
1
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus ), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two other disciples were together.
2
Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus ), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter told them, "I'm going fishing." They said, "We'll go with you." They set out in a boat, but throughout the night they caught nothing.
3
“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.
4
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 Jesus called to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
5
He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”“No,” they answered.
6 He said, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." So they did, and there were so many fish that they couldn't haul in the net.
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's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked) and jumped into the water.
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, dragging the net full of fish, for they weren't far from shore, only about one hundred yards.
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.
