  ¹After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

  ²Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

  ³Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

  ⁴But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

  ⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

  ⁶He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

  ⁷That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

  ⁸But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

  ⁹So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.

  ¹⁰Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

  ¹¹Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

  ¹²Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

  ¹³Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

  ¹⁴This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.

  ¹⁶For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

  ¹⁷From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

  ¹⁸When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

  ²⁸Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

  ²⁹For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

  ³⁰Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

  ³¹Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

  ³²Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

  ³³I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

  ³⁴You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

  ³⁵In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

  ³⁶When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

  ¹Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

  ²even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

  ³This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

  ⁴I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

  ⁵Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

  ⁶I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

  ⁷Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

  ⁸for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

  ⁹I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

  ¹⁰All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

  ¹¹I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

  ¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

  ¹³But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
