In. 21, 6-14.

They threw it, and could no longer pull out the nets from the multitude of fish. Then the disciple whom the Lord Jesus loved said to Peter, "This is the Lord." And when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded himself with a garment, for he was naked, and threw himself into the sea. And the other disciples sailed in a boat, for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits,36 dragging a net with fish.

When they came to the ground, they saw a fire spread out and fish and bread lying on it. The Lord Jesus said to them, "Bring the fish that you have now caught." Simon Peter went and pulled out a net on the ground, filled with large fish, of which there were one hundred and fifty-three; And with such a multitude, the net did not break.

The Lord Jesus said to them, "Come, dine." None of the disciples dared to ask Him, "Who art thou?" knowing that it is the Lord. The Lord Jesus comes, takes bread and gives them fish.

This was the third time the Lord Jesus appeared to His disciples (several at once) after His resurrection from the dead.

256. Seventh Apparition: Discourse at Fishing

In. 21, 15-24.

And when they were having dinner, the Lord Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon Jonah! Do you love Me more than they do? Peter said to Him, "Yes, Lord! You know I love You. The Lord Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

Again he said to him another time: Simon Jonah! Do you love Me? Peter said to Him, "Yes, Lord! You know I love You. The Lord said to him, "Feed my sheep."

He said to him for the third time, Simon Jonah! Do you love Me? Peter was grieved that the Lord asked him for the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to Him, Lord! You know everything; You know I love You. The Lord Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep."

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself and went whither thou wilt; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you up, and lead you whither you will not. And the Lord said these things to him, giving him to understand by what death he would glorify God. And having said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

And Peter, turning, saw the disciple coming after him, whom Jesus loved, and who at supper, bowing down to His breast, said, "Lord! who will betray you? Seeing him, Peter said to the Lord Jesus: "Lord! And what about him?

The Lord Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what does it matter to you?" Thou shalt follow Me. And this word spread among the brethren, that the disciple would not die. But the Lord Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until I come, what does it matter to you?"

This disciple also bears witness to this, and wrote this; and we know that his testimony is true.
