John 21:1-8

English Standard Version

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

21 After this Jesus ^(A)revealed himself ^(B)again to the disciples by ^(C)the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. ²Simon Peter, ^(D)Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of ^(E)Cana in Galilee, ^(F)the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. ³Simon 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 ^(G)that night they caught nothing.

⁴Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples ^(H)did not know that it was Jesus. ⁵^(I)Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” ⁶^(J)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. ⁷That disciple ^(K)whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, ^(L)he put on his outer garment, for he was ^(M)stripped for work, and ^(N)threw himself into the sea. ⁸The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards^[a] off.

Alive in Christ

⁶^(A)Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, ⁷^(B)rooted and ^(C)built up in him and ^(D)established in the faith, just ^(E)as you were taught, abounding ^(F)in thanksgiving.

⁸See to it that no one takes you captive by ^(G)philosophy and ^(H)empty deceit, according to ^(I)human tradition, according to the ^(J)elemental spirits^[a] of the world, and not according to Christ. ⁹For ^(K)in him the whole fullness of deity dwells ^(L)bodily, ¹⁰and ^(M)you have been filled in him, who is ^(N)the head of all rule and authority. ¹¹In him also ^(O)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^(P)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ¹²^(Q)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(R)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(S)the powerful working of God, ^(T)who raised him from the dead.
