The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on the clothes that he had taken off and jumped into the sea.
8
The other disciples came with the boat and dragged the net full of fish. They weren't far from the shore, only about 100 yards.
9
When they went ashore, they saw a fire with a fish lying on the coals, and they saw a loaf of bread.
10
Jesus told them, "Bring some of the fish you've just caught."
11
Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net ashore. Though the net was filled with 153 large fish, it was not torn.
12
Jesus told them, "Come, have breakfast." None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was. They knew he was the Lord.
13
Jesus took the bread, gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14
This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had come back to life.
15
After they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the other disciples do?" Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."
16
Jesus asked him again, a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep."

Jesus asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt sad because Jesus had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So Peter said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep.
