Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:

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

So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.

So Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered, “No.”

6

He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

“Throw your net in on the right of the boat,” he said to them, “and you will find them.” They did so, and they could not haul it in for the quantity of fish in it.

7

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

Then the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, “It is the Master!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he put on his clothes, for he had taken them off, and sprang into the sea.

8

The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.

So Simon Peter got into the boat, and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

“Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.

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

13

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.

14

This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.

When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, are you more devoted to me than these others are?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Master, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Then feed my lambs!”

16

Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

Again Jesus said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, are you devoted to me?” He said to him, “Yes, Master, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Then be a shepherd to my sheep!”

17

Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

Jesus said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because the third time Jesus asked him if he loved him, and he answered, “Master, you know everything, you can see that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Then feed my sheep!

18

Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

I tell you, when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle and go where you pleased, but when you grow old, you will stretch our your hands and someone else will put a girdle on you and take you where you have no wish to go”

19

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

He said this to show the kind of death by which Peter was to honor God; and after he had said it he said to Peter, “Follow me!”
