Context
Jesus’ Appearance to the Disciples in Galilee
21:1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias . Now this is how he did so .
21:2 Simon Peter , Thomas (called Didymus ), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee ), the sons of Zebedee , and two other disciples of his were together .
21:3 Simon Peter told them , “I am going fishing .” “We will go with you ,” they replied . They went out and got into the boat , but that night they caught nothing .
21:4 When it was already very early morning , Jesus stood on the beach , but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus .
21:5 So Jesus said to them , “Children , you don’t have any fish , do you?” They replied , “No .”
21:6 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 .
21:7 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 .
21:8 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 .
21:9 When they got out on the beach , they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread .
21:10 Jesus said , “Bring some of the fish you have just now caught .”
