After these things Jesus ^1arevealed Himself ^bagain to the disciples at the ^cSea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself in this way: 2 Simon Peter, ^aThomas who was called ¹Didymus, ^bNathanael of ^cCana in Galilee, ^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 are also coming 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 any fish to eat, 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 the fish.” So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity 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 on his outer garment (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 ¹two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

9 So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal ^afire already ¹made and ^bfish placed on it, and bread. 10 Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the ^afish which you have now caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12 Jesus *said to them, “Come and have ^abreakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus *came and *took ^athe bread and *gave it to them, and the ^bfish likewise. 14 This was now the ^athird time that Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

15 Now when they had ^afinished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you ^1blove Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I ²love You.” He *said to him, “Tend ^cMy lambs.” 16 He *said to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you ¹love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I ²love You.” He *said to him, “^aShepherd My sheep.” 17 He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you ¹love Me?” Peter was ²hurt because He said to him ^athe third time, “Do you ³love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, ^bYou know all things; You know that I ⁴love You.” Jesus *said to him, “^cTend My sheep.

18 Truly, truly I tell you, when you were younger, you used to put on your belt and walk wherever you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will put your belt on you, and bring you where you do not want to go.” 19 Now He said this, ^aindicating by ^bwhat kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He *said to him, “^cFollow Me!”

20 Peter turned around and *saw the ^adisciple whom Jesus loved following them—the one who also had ^bleaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?” 21 So Peter, upon 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 ¹account went out among ^athe brothers, 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?”

24 This is the disciple who ^ais testifying about these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

25 But there are also ^amany other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I expect that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
