²⁵ And then He said to them, “^[a]You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary for the ^[b]Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” ²⁷ Then beginning ^[c]with Moses and ^[d]with all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.

²⁸ And they approached the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther. ²⁹ And so they strongly urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day ^[e]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. ³⁰ And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. ³¹ And then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from ^[f]their sight. ³² They said to one another, “^[g]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was ^[h]explaining the Scriptures to us?” ³³ And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, ³⁴ saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵ They began to relate ^[i]their experiences on the road, and how He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

21 After these things Jesus ^[a]revealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself in this way: ² Simon Peter, Thomas who was called ^[b]Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. ³ Simon Peter *said to them, “I am going fishing.” They *said to him, “We are also coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. ⁵ So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” ⁶ And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish.” So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity of fish. ⁷ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. ⁸ But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about ^[c]two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.

⁹ So when they got out on the land, they *saw a charcoal fire already^[d]made and fish placed on it, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus *said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.” ¹¹ So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus Provides

¹² Jesus *said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus *came and *took the bread and *gave it to them, and the fish likewise. ¹⁴ This was now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
