  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.

  Ephesians 4:7–13

  ⁷But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

  ⁸Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

  ⁹Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

  ¹⁰He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

  ¹¹He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

  ¹²for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

  ¹³until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

  ¹²Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

  ¹³Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

  ¹⁴that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

  ¹⁵“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

  ¹⁶the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”

  ¹⁷From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
