John 21:10-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. Then Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish that you caught.”

11. Simon Peter went into the boat and pulled the net to the shore. It was full of big fish. There were 153. Even though there were so many, the net did not tear.

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

13. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them. He also gave them the fish.

14. This was now the third time Jesus showed himself to his followers after he was raised from death.

15. When they finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John do you love me more than these?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my lambs.”

16. Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17. A third time he said, “Simon son of John do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” Peter said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!”He said to him, “Take care of my sheep.
