Simon Peter, (A)Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of (B)Cana in Galilee, (C)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but (D)that night they caught nothing.

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples (E)did not know that it was Jesus. (F)Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” (G)He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. That disciple (H)whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, (I)he put on his outer garment, for he was (J)stripped for work, and (K)threw himself into the sea.

Simon Peter, Thomas(A) (also known as Didymus[a]), Nathanael(B) from Cana in Galilee,(C) the sons of Zebedee,(D) and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.(E)

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.(F)

He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.(G)

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved(H) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
