Jesus allowed Himself to be seen and revealed Himself again to the disciples, at the Sea of Tiberias. And He did it in th is way: There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called the Twin, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, also the sons of Zebedee and two others of His disciples.

Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing!” They said to him, “And we are coming with you!” So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout that night they caught nothing. Morning was already breaking when Jesus came to the beach and stood there. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

So, Jesus said to them, “Boys (children), You do not have any meat (fish) do you? Have you caught anything to eat along with your bread?” They answered Him, No! And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch of fish was in it.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Simon Peter, hearing him say that I was the Lord, girded on his upper garment (his fisherman´s coat, his outer tunic for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. And the other disciples came in the same boat, for they were not far from shore, only some hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

When they got to the beach, they saw a fire of coals there and fish lying on it cooking, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them, and though there were so many of them, the net was not torn.

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” But none of the disciples ventured or dared to ask Him, Who are You? Because they well knew that it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so also with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself (appeared, and was manifest) to the disciples after He had risen from the dead.

When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these others do - with reasoning, intentional spiritual devotion, as on loves the Father?”
Peter said to Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I love You, that I have deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
Again He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me as one loves the Father?”
Simon said to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you, that I have a deep personal affection for You as for a close friend.”
Jesus said to him, “Shepherd tend My sheep!”
Jesus said to Peter the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me with the deep love of a close friend?
” Peter was grieved, saddened and hurt that He should ask him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, “Lord, You know everything; You know that I love you as a close friend.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep! I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, when you were young you girded yourself (put on your own belt) and you walked about wherever you pleased to go. But when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will put a girdle around you and carry you where you do not wish to go.”
He said this to indicate by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. And after this, He said to him, “Follow Me!”

But Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following - the one who also had leaned back on His breast at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?” When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?

Jesus said to Peter, “If I want him to stay, survive and live until I come, what is that to you? What concern is it of yours? You follow Me!”

It is this same disciple who is bearing witness to these things and who has recorded (written) them; and we well know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one in detail, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain or have room for the books that would be written.
