John 21:1-18
After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea
of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: Simon Peter, Thomas
called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,
and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to
them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and
immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught
nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore;
yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to
them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.” And He
said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find
some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because
of the multitude of fish. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved
said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and
plunged into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat
(for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging
the net with fish. Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a
fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to
land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there
were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus
said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples
dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
Jesus then came and took the bread and gave
it to them, and likewise the fish. This is now the third time
Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon,
son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes,
Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” He
said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love
Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him,
“Tend My sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of
Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said
to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know
all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
John 21:22
Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that
to you? You follow Me.” 1 Peter 5:7
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Job 42:10
And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for
his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. |
