John 21:5-13 New English Translation (NET)

5. So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.”

6. He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

7. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea.

8. Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

9. When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread.

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

11. So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12. “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said. But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.

13. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
