Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

21 After these things Jesus ^[a](A)revealed Himself ^(B)again to the disciples at the ^(C)Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself in this way: ² Simon Peter, ^(D)Thomas who was called ^[b]Didymus, ^(E)Nathanael of ^(F)Cana in Galilee, ^(G)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. ³ Simon Peter *said to them, “I am going fishing.” They *said to him, “We are also coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and ^(H)that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not ^(I)know that it was Jesus. ⁵ So Jesus *said to them, “Children, ^(J)you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” ⁶ And He said to them, “^(K)Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish.” So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity of fish. ^7 (L)Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. ⁸ But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about ^[c]two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

⁹ So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal ^(M)fire already ^[d]made and ^(N)fish placed on it, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the ^(O)fish which you have now caught.” ¹¹ So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus Provides

¹² Jesus *said to them, “Come and have ^(P)breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus *came and *took ^(Q)the bread and *gave it to them, and the ^(R)fish likewise. ¹⁴ This was now the ^(S)third time that Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great ^(A)high priest who has ^(B)passed through the heavens, Jesus ^(C)the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our ^(D)confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have ^(E)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been ^(F)tempted in all things just as we are, yet ^(G)without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let’s ^(H)approach the throne of grace with ^(I)confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

²⁶ And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is ^[a]honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

²⁷ Now you are ^(A)Christ’s body, and ^(B)individually parts of it.

^2 (A)Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill ^(B)the law of Christ. ³ For ^(C)if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁸ in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to ^(A)share with you not only the ^(B)gospel of God, but also our own ^[a]lives, because you had become ^[b]very dear to us.

³¹ Do not ^(A)worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ ³² For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for ^(B)your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But ^[a]seek first ^[b]His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^(C)all these things will be ^[c]provided to you.
