John 21:5-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. “Men,” Jesus called to them, “you don’t have any fish, do you? ”“No,” they answered.

6. “Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

7. Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord! ” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.

8. But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.

9. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread.

10. “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.

11. So Simon Peter got up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish — 153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.

12. “Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You? ” because they knew it was the Lord.

13. Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.
