1 AFTER this, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Lake of Tiberias. He showed himself in this way.

2 There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus the Twin, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 When day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

5 Jesus said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." They cast, and now they could not draw it in for the multitude of fishes.

7 That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

8 The other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from land \'97 about a hundred yards \'97 dragging the netful of fish.

9 When they had gotten out on land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught."

11 Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.
