7
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt
his fisher’s coat
unto him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.
8
And the other disciples came in the
little ship (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits), dragging the net with
the fishes.
9
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.
10
Jesus said unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three; and being so many, yet the net was not broken.
12
Jesus said unto them, Come
and dine. And none of the disciples dared to ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13
Jesus then came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise.
14
This
was now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.
15
So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He said unto him, Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my lambs.
16
He said to him again the second time, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said unto him, Yes, Lord thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my sheep.
17
He said unto him the third time, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said unto him, Feed my sheep.
