* After these things (note :)In that Christ is not only present here but also eats with his disciples , he gives a most full assurance of his resurrection .(:note ) Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias ; and on this wise shewed he [himself ]. * There were together Simon Peter , &amp ; Thomas , which is called Didymus , and Nathanael of Cana in Galile , and the sonnes of Zebedeus , and two other of his disciples . * Simon Peter said vnto them , I go a fishing . They said vnto him , We also will goe with thee . They went their way &amp ; entred into a ship straightway , and that night caught they nothing . * But when the morning was nowe come , Iesus stoode on the shore : neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus . * Iesus then said vnto them , Syrs , haue ye any meate ? They answered him , No . * Then he said vnto them , Cast out the net on the right side of the ship , and ye shall finde . So they cast out , &amp ; they were not able at all to draw it , for the multitude of fishes . * 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 (note :)It was a linen garment which prevented him from swimming freely .(:note ) coat [unto him ], (for he was naked ,) and did cast himself into the sea . * But the other disciples came by shippe (for they were not farre from land , but about two hundreth cubites ) and they drewe the net with fishes . * Assoone then as they were come to land , they sawe hoate coales , and fish laide thereon , and bread . * Iesus saide vnto them , Bring of the fishes , which ye haue nowe caught . * Simon Peter stepped foorth and drewe the net to land , full of great fishes , an hundreth , fiftie and three : and albeit there were so many , yet was not the net broken . * Iesus saide vnto them , Come , and dine ; none of the disciples durst aske him , Who art thou ? seeing they knewe that he was the Lord . * Iesus then came and tooke bread , and gaue them , and fish likewise . * This is now the third time that Iesus shewed himselfe to his disciples , after that he was risen againe from the dead . * * He said to him againe the second time , Simon the sonne of Iona , louest thou me ? He said vnto him , Yea Lorde , thou knowest that I loue thee . He said vnto him , Feede my sheepe . * He saith unto him the (note :)It was appropriate that he that had denied him three times should confess him three times , so that Peter might neither doubt the forgiveness of his grievous sin , nor his being restored to the office of the apostleship .(:note ) 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 . * * This spake he , signifying by (note :)That is , that Peter would die by a violent death .(:note ) what death he should glorify God . And when he had spoken this , he saith unto him , Follow me . * * When Peter therefore sawe him , he saide to Iesus , Lord , what shall this man doe ? * Iesus said vnto him , If I will that he tarie till I come , what is it to thee ? followe thou me . * Then went this worde abroade among the brethren , that this disciple shoulde not die . Yet Iesus saide not to him , He shall not die : but if I will that he tarie till I come , what is it to thee ? * * Nowe there are also many other things which Iesus did , the which if they should be written euery one , I suppose the world coulde not conteine the bookes that shoulde be written , Amen .
