John 20:1-3 After this happened, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Tiberius Sea. This is how it happened: Simon Peter, Thomas (called “Twin”), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing!” The Source with Hebraic adaptation by Rabbi Lutton

“Yeah, we’ll go too!” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but didn’t catch anything that night.

John 21:4-8 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. He shouted out to them, “Hey, guys, haven’t you caught anything to eat?” “No!” they answered.

So he said, “Throw your net over the starboard side of the boat and you’ll find some!” They cast it, and they weren’t able to haul the net in because of the immense number of fish. So the disciple that Jesus loved said, “It’s the Lord!”

When Simon Peter heard him say, “It’s the Lord!” he wrapped his item of clothing around himself (as he was stripped for work) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the ship, towing the net full of fish, as they weren’t far from the shore, only about 100 yards.

John 21:9-14 So they disembarked on the shore and saw a fire made from coals there, with cooked fish laid on it, and some bread. Jesus said, “Bring some of those fish you’ve just caught!” Simon Peter jumped aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153 of them, but even with so many, the net wasn’t torn. Jesus said, “Come here and have some breakfast!”

None of the disciples were game to ask him, “Who are you?” as they knew it was the Lord. Jesus went over and picked up the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from among the dead.

John 21:15-19 After they had had breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, John’s son, do you love me more than these?” Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I like you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs!” Jesus asked him a second time, “Simon, John’s son, do you love me?”

Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I like you.” “Shepherd my sheep!” Jesus said. Jesus said to him a third time, “Simon, John’s son, do you like me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him a third time, “Do you like me?” He said, “Lord, you know everything! You realize that I do like you!”

Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep! Let me make this clear, when you were young you dressed yourself and went around wherever you wanted to go, but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you don’t want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate by what sort of death Peter would bring honor to God. After he’d said this, he said to Peter, “Follow me!”

John 21:20-23 Peter turned around and saw the disciple that Jesus loved following them. (This was the disciple who had been sitting close to Jesus at the dinner and had asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”). When Peter saw him, he said to the Lord, “What about him?”

Jesus answered, ‘If I want him to stay alive until I return, what’s it to you? You must follow me!” So the rumor spread around the fellow believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus didn’t actually say that he wouldn’t die, he only said, “If I want him to stay alive until I return, what’s it to you?”

John 21:24-25 I am the disciple who gives this evidence and who wrote them down. We know that my evidence is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I don’t suppose the whole world would have enough room for all the books that could be written!

And in conclusion:
