The Miraculous Catch and Breakfast by the Sea

John 21:1-14
1After this, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. 2Simon Peter, Thomas called the Didymus, Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We also will come with you." They went out and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4When morning had already come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not yet know that it was Jesus. 5Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" They answered him, "No." 6He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and they were no longer able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 7The disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his coat, for he was naked, and threw himself into the sea. 8The other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish. 9When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and bread. 10Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." 11So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
