21After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself^* in this way: ²Simon Peter and Thomas (who was called Didymus)^a and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and 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 are coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing.

⁴Now when it^* was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. ⁵So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?^* They answered him, “No.” ⁶And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”^* So they threw it,^* and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.

⁷Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he^* heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked)^b and threw himself into the sea.
