Returning to their native Galilee, the Apostles took up their former occupation, fishing. And so, by the Sea of Tiberias, which was also called the Lake or Sea of Galilee, Simon Peter, Thomas, surnamed the Twin, Nathanael, who was a native of Cana of Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, James and John, and two other disciples, not named by the Evangelist, were gathered; it is believed that they were Andrew and Philip. Simon said that he was going to fish, and they all followed him; We got into the boat, drove away from the shore, cast our nets, worked all night, but did not catch anything. In the morning, as they approached the shore, they saw a Man standing there, Who addressed them with these words:

children! Do you have any food? And they answered him, No; and He said to them, "Cast a net on the right side of the boat, and you will catch" (John 21:5-6). They obeyed, cast their nets, and when they began to pull them, they could not pull them out of the multitude of fish that fell into them. Then Peter, James, and John remembered how, three years before, on the same lake, they had cast their nets at the command of Jesus, after an unsuccessful night's fishing, and how their nets were filled with a multitude of fish; John looked at the Man standing on the shore, recognized Jesus in Him, and immediately said to Peter:

it's the Lord! (John 21:7). Peter looked at the shore and saw that it was as if He were He! Beside himself with joy, he grabs the first clothes he comes across, girds his naked body with them and throws himself into the water to swim to the shore as soon as possible. Although it was not far from the shore, only about two hundred cubits (or a hundred meters), the boat could not dock soon, since those sitting in it had to drag a net loaded with fish. Peter swam or waded to the shore and stayed with Jesus, while the rest of the Apostles pulled the net to the shore.

And when they came to earth, they saw a broken fire and fish and bread lying on it (John 21:9).

When all were assembled, Jesus said:

Bring the fish you have now caught. Simon Peter went with the rest of the Apostles

And he hath hauled out upon the earth a net full of great fishes;
