¥(7) to 7 disciples on the shore of Galilee (John 21:1-22):
¥John 21:1 (NIV) Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the
Sea of Tiberias. It happened this
way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in
Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 "I'm going
out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they
went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4 Early in the
morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they
answered. 6 He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some."
When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 7
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as
Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him
(for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples
followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a
hundred yards.9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with
fish on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have
just caught." 11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It
was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said
to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him,
"Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and
gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time
Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 15 When they had
finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me
more than these?"
