New Testament

John 21:6-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. He said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw it, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the abundance of fish.

7. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he had taken it off, and jumped into the sea.

8. The other disciples came in the little boat, dragging the net full of fish. For they were not far from land, but about three hundred feet away.

9. When they came to land, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish lying on it, and bread.

10. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

11. Simon Peter went up and dragged the net, full of one hundred and fifty-three large fish, to land. Although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.

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

14. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

15. So when they had eaten 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 love You.”He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
