8
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net [full] of fishes.
9
So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10
Jesus saith unto them,
Bring of the fish which ye have now taken.
11
Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent.
12
Jesus saith unto them,
Come [and] break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13
Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.
14
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15
So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
16
He saith to him again a second time,
Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Tend my sheep.
17
He saith unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
18
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
