Jesus showed himself again John 21:1-19

to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias;
and he showed himself in this way. 

Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the

2 

Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,

the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 

Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”

3 

They said to him, “We will go with you.”

They went out and got into the boat; John 21:1-19
but that night they caught nothing.
4 
Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach;
yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 

Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?”

5 

They answered him, “No.”

6
He said to them, “Cast the net
on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”
So they cast it, and now,
they were not able to haul it in,
for the quantity of fish.
 John 21:1-19
7
That disciple whom Jesus loved
said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,

he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work,
and sprang into the sea. 
 But the other disciples
8 
John 21:1-19
came in the boat,
dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far
from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there,
9 

with fish lying on it, and bread. 

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish

10 

that you have just caught.”

 So Simon Peter went aboard
11 
John 21:1-19
and hauled the net ashore,
full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them;
and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”

12 

Now, none of the disciples dared ask him,

“Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
 Jesus came and took the bread
13 
John 21:1-19
and gave it to them,
and so with the fish. 

This was now the third time

14 

that Jesus was revealed to the disciples

after he was raised from the dead.
 When they had finished breakfast,
15 
John 21:1-19
Jesus said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
 A second time he said to him,
16 
John 21:1-19
“Simon, son of John,
do you love me?”

He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
 He said to him the third time,
17 
John 21:1-19
“Simon, son of John,
do you love me?”

Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time,

“Do you love me?” And he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
 Very truly, I tell you,
18 
John 21:1-19
when you were younger,
you used to fasten your own belt
and to go wherever you wished.
But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will fasten a belt around you
and take you where you do not wish to go.”
 John 21:1-19
19
(Jesus said this to indicate
the kind of death
by which Peter would glorify God.)

After this Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
