John 21:1-14 (KJV)
[1] After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise
shewed he himself.
[2] There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called
Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the
sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
[3] Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say
unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered
into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
[4] But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
[5] Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?
They answered him, No.
[6] And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of
the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now
they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter,
It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,)
and did cast himself into the sea.
[8] And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
dragging the net with fishes.
[9] As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire
of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
[10] Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye
have now caught.
[11] Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full
of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for
all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
[12] Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that
it was the Lord.
[13] Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them,
and fish likewise.
[14] This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself
to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
