sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself in this manner.
(2)There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two
others of his disciples. (3)Simon Peter says to them: I go a fishing.
They say to him: We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered
into the ship; and in that night they caught nothing.
(4)But when morning was now come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus. (5)Jesus therefore says to them:
Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him: No. (6)And he
said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall
find. They cast it therefore; and now they were not able to draw it,
for the multitude of the fishes.
(7)Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter: It is the
Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it is the Lord, girded on
his outer garment (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
(8)And the other disciples came in the boat (for they were not far
from land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net with
the fishes.
(9)When therefore they went out upon the land, they see a fire of
coals there, and a fish lying thereon, and bread. (10)Jesus says to
them: Bring of the fishes which ye just now caught. (11)Simon Peter
went on board, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a
hundred and fifty and three; and though there were so many, the net
was not broken.
(12)Jesus says to them: Come hither, and break your fast. And none of
the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it is the
Lord. (13)Jesus comes, and takes the bread and gives to them, and the
fish likewise. (14)This the third time already, Jesus manifested
himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.
(15)When therefore they had broken their fast, Jesus says to Simon
Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He says to
him: Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my
lambs.
(16)He says to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest
thou me? He says to him: Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He
says to him: Tend my sheep.
(17)He says to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou
me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest
thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things; thou
knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him: Feed my sheep.
