After these things, Jesus manifested himself again, unto the disciples, by the sea of Tiberias; and manifested himself, thus: -

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

Simon Peter saith unto them - I go a fishing! They say unto him - We also, go with thee! They went out, and got up into the boat, and during that night, they caught nothing.

But, morning by this time drawing on, Jesus stood upon the beach; nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was, Jesus.

Jesus, therefore, saith unto them - Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him - No.

And, he, said unto them - Cast the net, on the right side of the boat, - and ye shall find. They cast, therefore; and, no longer, were they able, to draw, it, for the multitude of the fishes.

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;

but, the other disciples, came, by the little boat, - for they were not farther from the land than about two hundred cubits off, - dragging the net of fishes.

So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread.

Jesus saith unto them - Bring of the fish which ye caught just now.

Simon Peter, therefore, went on board, and drew the net on to the land, - full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and, though they were so many, the net was not rent.

Jesus saith unto them - Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord.

Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner.

This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.
