John 21:3–11

³“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.^l

⁴When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.^{m 5}“Friends,”^D Jesus called to them, “you don’t have any fish, do you?”

“No,” they answered.

⁶“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” he told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did,^E and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish. ⁷The disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”ⁿ

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer clothing around him (for he had taken it off) and plunged into the sea. ⁸Since they were not far from land (about a hundred yards^Fo away), the other disciples came in the boat,^p dragging the net full of fish. ⁹When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. ¹⁰“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them. ¹¹So Simon Peter climbed up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish—153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.^q
