John 21:11-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

11. Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore full of big fish, 153 in all; even though there were so many, still the net did not tear.

12. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.

13. So Jesus went over, took the bread, and gave it to them; he did the same with the fish.

14. This, then, was the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from death.

15. After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?”“Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said to him, “Take care of my lambs.”

16. A second time Jesus said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”“Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.”
