After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.SelectedJohn 21:1Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:2Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:3Ask

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.SelectedJohn 21:4Ask

Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.SelectedJohn 21:5Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:6Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:7Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:8Ask

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.SelectedJohn 21:9Ask

Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.SelectedJohn 21:10Ask

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.SelectedJohn 21:11Ask

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.SelectedJohn 21:12Ask

Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.SelectedJohn 21:13Ask

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.SelectedJohn 21:14Ask

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.SelectedJohn 21:15Ask

He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.SelectedJohn 21:16Ask

He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.SelectedJohn 21:17Ask

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.SelectedJohn 21:18Ask

This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.SelectedJohn 21:19Ask

Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?SelectedJohn 21:20Ask

Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?SelectedJohn 21:21Ask

Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.SelectedJohn 21:22Ask

Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?SelectedJohn 21:23Ask

This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.SelectedJohn 21:24Ask

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.SelectedJohn 21:25Ask
