John 21:5-15

⁵“My children,” he said, “have you anything to eat?” “No,” they answered.

⁶“Cast your net to the right of the boat,” he said, “and you will find fish.” So they cast the net, and now they could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish.

⁷The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Master!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat around him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the sea.

⁸But the rest of the disciples came in the boat (for they were only about a hundred yards from shore), dragging the net full of fish.

⁹When they had come ashore, they found a charcoal fire ready, with some fish already on it, and some bread as well.

¹⁰“Bring some of the fish which you have just caught,” said Jesus.

¹¹So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not been torn.

¹²“Come and have breakfast.”, Jesus said. None of the disciples dared ask him who he was, because they knew it was the Master.

¹³Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.

¹⁴This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.

¹⁵When breakfast was over, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the others?” “Yes, Master,” he answered, “you know that I am your friend.” “Feed my lambs,” said Jesus.
