Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

1 After° these° things° Jesus° Iamanifested° Himself° bagain° to the disciples° at the cSea° of Tiberias°, and He manifested° [Himself] in this° way°. 2 Simon° Peter°, and aThomas° called° IDidymus°, and bNathanael° of cCana° in Galilee°, and dthe [sons] of Zebedee°, and two° others° of His disciples° were together°. 3 Simon° Peter° *said° to them, “I am going° fishing°.” They *said° to him, “We will also° come° with you.” They went° out and got° into the boat°; and athat night° they caught° nothing°.

4 ¶ But when the day° was now° breaking°°, Jesus° stood° on the beach°; yet° the disciples° did not aknow° that it was Jesus°. 5 So° Jesus° *said° to them, “Children°, ayou do not have° Iany° fish°, do you?” They answered° Him, “No°.” 6 And He said° to them, aCast° the net° on the right-hand° side° of the boat° and you will find° [a catch].” So° they cast°, and then° they were not able° to haul° it in because° of the great° number° of fish°. 7 aTherefore° that disciple° whom° Jesus° loved° *said° to Peter°, “It is the Lord°.” So° when Simon° Peter° heard° that it was the Lord°, he put° his outer° garment° on (for he was stripped° [for work]), and threw° himself° into the sea°. 8 But the other° disciples° came° in the little° boat°, for they were not far° from the land°, but about° Ione° hundred° yards° away°, dragging° the net° [full] of fish°.

Our Times Are in His Hand

18 Truly°, truly°, I say° to you, when° you were younger°, you used to gird° yourself° and walk° wherever° you wished°; but when° you grow° old°, you will stretch° out your hands° and someone° else° will gird° you, and bring° you where° you do not wish° to [go].” 19 Now° this° He said°, asignifying° by bwhat° kind° of death° he would glorify° God°.

[19] aJn 12:33; 18:32 b2P 1:14 cMt 8:22; 16:24; Jn 21:22

20 ¶ Peter°, turning° around°, *saw° the adisciple° whom° Jesus° loved° following° [them]; the one who° also° had bleaned° back° on His bosom° at the supper° and said°, “Lord°, who° is the one who betrays° You?” 21 So° Peter° seeing° him *said° to Jesus°, “Lord°, and what° about this° man°?” 22 Jesus° *said° to him, “If° I want° him to remain° auntil° I come°, what° [is that] to you? You bfollow° Me!” 23 Therefore° this° saying° went° out among° athe brethren° that that disciple° would not die°; yet° Jesus° did not say° to him that he would not die°, but [only], “If° I want° him to remain° buntil° I come°, what° [is that] to you?”

Christ appearing again to his disciples was known of them by the great draught of fishes.

1 ¶ Afterº these thingsº Jesusº shewedºª himselfº againº to the² disciplesº atº the² seaº of Tiberias;º andº on this wiseº shewedºª he [himself]. 2 There wereºª togetherº Simonº Peter,º andº Thomasº calledºª Didymus,º andº Nathanaelº ofº Canaº in Galilee,º andº the² [sons]¹ of Zebedee,º andº twoº otherº ofº hisº disciples.º 3 Simonº Peterº saithºª unto them,º I goºª a fishing.ºª They sayºª unto him,º Weº alsoº goºª withº thee.º They went forth,ºª andº enteredºª intoº a shipº immediately;º andº thatº¹ nightº they caughtºª nothing.º 4 Butº when the morningº was¹ª nowº come,ºª Jesusº stoodºª onº the² shore:º butº the² disciplesº knewºª notº thatº it wasºª Jesus.º 5 Thenº Jesusº saithºª unto them,º Children,º have² ye¹ª anyº meat?¹ They² answeredºª him,º No.º 6 Andº he² saidºª unto them,º Castºª the² netº onº the² rightº sideº of the² ship,º andº ye shall find.¹ª They² castºª therefore,º andº now¹ª² they were¹ª not¹ ableºª² to drawºª itº forº the² multitudeº of fishes.º 7 Thereforeº thatº discipleº whomº Jesusº lovedºª saithºª unto Peter,º It isºª the² Lord.º Nowº when Simonº Peterº heardºª thatº it wasºª the² Lord,º he girtºª [his] fisher's coatº [unto him], (forº he wasºª naked,)º andº did castºª himselfº intoº the² sea.º 8 Andº the² otherº disciplesº cameºª in a little ship;º (forº they wereºª notº farº fromº land,º butº as it wereº¹ two² hundredº cubits,)º draggingºª the² netº with fishes.º 9 As soon¹ then¹ as²² they were comeºª toº land,º they sawºª a fire of coalsº there,² andº fishº laid¹ª thereon,ºª andº bread.º 10 Jesusº saithºª unto them,º Bringºª ofº the² fishº whichº ye have¹ª nowº caught.ºª 11 Simonº Peterº went up,ºª andº drewºª the² netº toº landº fullº of greatº fishes,º an hundred¹ and fifty¹ and three:º²² andº for all there were² so many,º yet was¹ª notº the² netº broken.ºª
