t
disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon
Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, for he was
naked, and cast himself into the lake. [21:8]But the other disciples
came with the boat, drawing the net of fishes, for they were not far
from the land, but about two hundred cubits distant. [21:9]Then when
they came to land they saw coals placed, and a fish laid upon [them],
and bread. [21:10] Jesus said to them, Bring of the fish that you have
now caught. [21:11]Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full
of great fishes a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so
many the net was not broken. [21:12]Jesus said to them, Come and
breakfast. No one of the disciples dared to ask him, Who are you? for
they knew that he was the Lord. [21:13]Jesus came and took the bread
and gave them, and the fish likewise. [21:14]This was now the third

dead.

he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend
to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. [21:18]I tell you most truly,
that when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you
would; but when you become old, you shall stretch out your hands and
another shall bind you and carry you where you would not; [21:19]but he
said this signifying by what death he should glorify God; and having
said this, he said to him, Follow me.

8 [21:20]And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved
following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said,
Lord, who is it that is to betray you? [21:21]Peter seeing him said to
Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [do]? [21:22]Jesus said to him,
If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me.
[21:23]The report then went out among the brothers that this disciple
would not die; but Jesus said not to him, He shall not
