## Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee 

###### 1
After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested _Himself_ in this way. 

###### 2
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the _sons_ of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 

###### 3
Simon Peter *said to them, "I am going fishing." They *said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. 

###### 4
But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 

###### 5
So Jesus *said to them, **"Children, do you have any fish?"** They answered Him, "No." 

###### 6
And He said to them, **"Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find _some_."** So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 

###### 7
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped _for work_), and cast himself into the sea. 

###### 8
But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net _full_ of fish. 

###### 9
So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal fire in place and fish placed on it, and bread. 

###### 10
Jesus *said to them, **"Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."** 

###### 11
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. 

## Jesus Provides Breakfast 

###### 12
Jesus *said to them, **"Come, have breakfast."** None of the disciples dared to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord. 

###### 13
Jesus *came and *took the bread and *gave _it_ to them, and the fish likewise. 

###### 14
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. 

## Peter's Restoration and Commission 

###### 15
So when they had finished 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, **"Tend My lambs."** 

###### 16
He *said to him again a second time, **"Simon, _son_ of John, do you love Me?"** He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, **"Shepherd My sheep."** 

###### 17
He *said to him the third time, **"Simon, _son_ of John, do you love Me?"** Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, **"Do you love Me?"** And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, **"Tend My sheep.** 

###### 18
Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to _go_." 

###### 19
Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, **"Follow Me!"** 

## Jesus' Command to Follow Him 

###### 20
Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following _them_; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" 

###### 21
So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?" 

###### 22
Jesus *said to him, **"If I want him to remain until I come, what _is that_ to you? You follow Me!"** 

###### 23
Therefore this saying went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but _only_, **"If I want him to remain until I come, what _is that_ to you?"** 

###### 24
This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his witness is true. 

###### 25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written one after the other, I suppose that even the world itself *could not contain the books that *would be written.
