John 21:1-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

21 After this, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner.

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

³ Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

⁵ Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No.

⁶ He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.

⁷ That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.

⁸ But the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

⁹ As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.

¹¹ Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken.

¹² Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³ And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner.
