1. Later, Jesus showed himself to his followers by Lake Galilee. This is how it happened:
2. Some of the followers were together. They were Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedee, and two other followers.
3. Simon Peter said, “I am going out to fish.”The other followers said, “We will go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat. They fished that night but caught nothing.
4. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore. But the followers did not know that it was Jesus.
5. Then he said to them, “Friends, have you caught any fish?”They answered, “No.”
6. He said, “Throw your net into the water on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they did this. They caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat.
