After
these things Jesus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this
wise shewed he himself.
02 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.
03 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing.
They say unto him, We also go with thee. They
went forth, and entered into a ship immediately;
and that night they caught nothing.
04 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood
on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it
was Jesus.
05 Then Jesus saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat? They
answered him, No.
06 And he said unto them, Cast the
net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall
find. They cast therefore, and now they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of
fishes.
07 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith
unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter
heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's
coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast
himself into the sea.
08 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
fishes.
09 As soon then as they were come to land, they
saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon,
and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of
the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew
the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred
and fifty and three: and for all there were so
many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and
dine. And none of the disciples durst
ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and
giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed
himself to his disciples, after that he was risen
from the dead.

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon
Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me more than these?He saith unto him, Yea,
Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? Peter was grieved because he said
unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he
said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things;
thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
him, Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest
thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but
when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth
thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry
thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by
what death he should glorify God. And when he had
spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow
me.
20 Then Peter, turning about,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper, and
said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and
what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I
will that he tarry till I come, what is that to
thee? follow thou me.
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, If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth 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.
