John 21:1-9 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias.

2. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples.

3. Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing!”The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in their boat. But they didn't catch a thing that night.

4. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was.

5. Jesus shouted, “Friends, have you caught anything?”“No!” they answered.

6. So he told them, “Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish.”They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat.

7. Jesus' favourite disciple told Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon heard that it was the Lord, he put on the clothes that he had taken off while he was working. Then he jumped into the water.

8. The boat was only about a hundred metres from shore. So the other disciples stayed in the boat and dragged in the net full of fish.

9. When the disciples got out of the boat, they saw some bread and a charcoal fire with fish on it.
