Jesus Appears at the Sea of Tiberias

1. After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and in this way showed he himself.

2. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

3. Simon Peter said unto them, I am going fishing. They said unto him, We also will go with you. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

5. Then Jesus said unto them,

6. And he said unto them,

7. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

8. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fish.

9. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

10. Jesus said unto them,

11. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fish, a hundred and fifty and three: and although there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

12. Jesus said unto them,

13. Jesus then came, and took bread, and gave to them, and fish likewise.

14. This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

Jesus Encourages Peter's Love

15. So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter,

16. He said to him again the second time,

17. He said unto him the third time,

18. Verily, verily, I say unto you, When you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you would: but when you shall be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall dress you, and carry you where you would not.

19. This spoke he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said unto him,

A Final Word about John

20. Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrays you?

21. Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22. Jesus said unto him,

23. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but,

24. This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
