mnt - John:21:1-14

mnt@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus showed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He showed himself as follows.

mnt@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

mnt@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.

mnt@John:21:4 @ But when day was dawning Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

mnt@John:21:5 @ So Jesus said to them, "Lads, you havent any fish, have you?" They answered him, "No."

mnt@John:21:6 @ And he said to them, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find." So they cast it, and now they could not haul it in for the multitude of fishes.

mnt@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fishers coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.

mnt@John:21:8 @ The rest of the disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore - only about a hundred yards - dragging in the net full of fish.

mnt@John:21:9 @ When they got to the shore they beheld a charcoal fire ready laid, with fish on it, and some bread.

mnt@John:21:10 @ "Bring some of the fish you have just caught," Jesus told them.

mnt@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went and dragged the net to shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; but for all this number the net was not torn.

mnt@John:21:12 @ "Come and have breakfast," said Jesus to them. Not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord.

mnt@John:21:13 @ Jesus went and took bread and gave it to them, and the fish also.

mnt@John:21:14 @ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from among the dead.
