After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias ;
and it came about in this way .

John:21:2 @
Simon Peter ,
Thomas named Didymus ,
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
and two others of his disciples were all together .

John:21:3 @
Simon Peter said to them ,
I am going fishing .
They said to him ,
And we will come with you .
They went out and got into the boat ;
but that night they took no fish .

John:21:4 @
Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (
though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus ).
bbe @
John:21:5 @
So Jesus said to them ,
Children ,
have you taken any fish ?
They made answer ,
No .
bbe @
John:21:6 @
And he said to them ,
Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some .
So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish .

John:21:7 @
So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter ,
It is the Lord !
Hearing that it was the Lord ,
Peter put his coat round him (
because he was not clothed )
and went into the sea .

John:21:8 @
And the other disciples came in the little boat (
they were not far from land ,
only about two hundred cubits off )
pulling the net full of fish .
bbe @
John:21:9 @
When they got to land ,
they saw a fire of coals there ,
with fish cooking on it ,
and bread .
bbe @
John:21:10 @
Jesus said to them ,
Get some of the fish which you have now taken .
bbe @
John:21:11 @
So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land ,
full of great fish ,
a hundred and fifty-three ;
and though there was such a number the net was not broken .
bbe @
John:21:12 @
Jesus said to them ,
Come and take some food .
And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question ,
Who are you ?
being conscious that it was the Lord .
bbe @
John:21:13 @
Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them ,
and the fish in the same way .

Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead
