After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he showed himself this way:
Simon Peter, and Thomas (called Didymus), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two more of his disciples, were together.
Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We also will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the shore, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
Then Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.”
And he said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast it, and they were not able to haul it in because of the multitude of fish.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (because he had taken it off), and jumped into the lake.
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but only about 100 yards off), dragging the net full of fish.
So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them, and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus said to them, “Come have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came and took the bread and gave some to them, and did the same with the fish.
This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from among the dead.
Jesus and Peter
Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I am your friend.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I am your friend.” He said to him, “Shepherd my sheep.”
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, are you my friend?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Are you my friend?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I am your friend.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted, but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.”
Now this he spoke, clearly indicating by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him, “Follow me!”
Jesus and the Beloved Apostle
Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, (the one who also had leaned back on his chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who will betray you?”).
Therefore, when Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about him?”
Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
So the word went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die, yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
This is the disciple who is testifying about these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
