John 21:4-11

⁴Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.

⁵He called out to us, “My friends, you have not caught any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, we have not caught any.”

⁶He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish in the net that we were unable to pull the net into the boat!

⁷But I knew that it was Jesus, so I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak while he was working, but as soon as he heard me say “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water and swam to shore.

⁸The rest of us came to the shore in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards/meters.

⁹When we got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a large fish on the fire, and some buns.

¹⁰Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”

¹¹Simon Peter got in the boat and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
