1 After this Jesus revealed himself to the disciples by the Lake of Tiberias. He appeared to them in this way.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas who was called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples were together;
3 and Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They replied, "We will come with you" and they went out and got into the boat. But they caught nothing that night.
4 When day had already broken, Jesus was standing on the shore, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Jesus called them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered, "Nothing."
6 Then he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they had lowered the net, they were not able to pull it in because of the great number of fish.
7 Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" At these words, "It's the Lord," Simon Peter put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and jumped into the water.
8 The other disciples came in the boat dragging the net full of fish; they were not far from land, about a hundred meters.
9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it, and some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you've just caught."
11 So Simon Peter climbed into the boat and pulled the net to shore. It was full of big fish - one hundred and fifty-three - but, in spite of this, the net was not torn.
12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast," and not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" for they knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and he did the same with the fish.
14 This was the third time that Jesus revealed himself to his disciples after rising from the dead.
15 After they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." And Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
16 A second time Jesus said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" And Peter answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Look after my sheep."
17 And a third time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was saddened because Jesus asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus then said, "Feed my sheep.
18 Truly, I say to you, when you were young you put on your belt and walked where you liked. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and another will put a belt around you and lead you where you do not wish to go."
19 Jesus said this to make known the kind of death by which Peter was to glorify God. And he added, "Follow me."
20 Peter looked back and saw that the disciple Jesus loved was following as well, the one who had reclined close to Jesus at the supper and had asked him, "Lord, who is to betray you?"
21 On seeing him Peter asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
22 Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain until I come, does that concern you? Follow me."
23 Because of this the rumor spread in the community that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus had not said to Peter, "He will not die," but "suppose I want him to remain until I come."
24 It is this disciple who testifies about the things he has recorded here and we know that his testimony is true.
25 But Jesus did many other things; if all were written down, the world itself would not hold the books recording them.

In John 21, the chapter narrates one of Jesus' apparitions to his disciples after his resurrection. In this meeting, Jesus performs a miracle by allowing the disciples to fish a large amount of fish and then makes a meal with them. Moreover, Jesus asks Peter to follow and love him, and prophesies about Peter's future. Next, there are five verses related to the topics addressed in John 21:
Genesis 22:8: "Abraham answered, God will provide for Him lamb to the Holocaust, my son." In this verse, we see Abraham's confidence in God, who always provides for his needs. This confidence is also exemplified by the disciples in John 21, when they follow Jesus' instructions to fish on the right side of the boat and end up capturing a large amount of fish.
Psalm 23:1: "The Lord is my pastor; nothing will lack me." This psalm portrays the psalmist's confidence in God, who cares for him and guides him. This same confidence is demonstrated by the disciples in John 21, when they follow Jesus' instructions to fish on the right side of the boat and trust in their wisdom and authority.
Matthew 28:19: "Therefore, go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." This verse presents the great commission of Jesus to his disciples, ordering them to preach the Gospel to all nations. In John 21, Jesus asks Peter to follow and love him, and commission him to take care of his flock.
Acts 12:3-4: "Seeing that it had pleased the Jews, he also arrested Peter. They were then the days of the Azimos bread." In this verse we see Peter being arrested because of his faith in Jesus.

Revelation 22:20: "He who gives witness to these things says, I certainly come without delay. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" This verse presents the promise that Jesus will return to seek his church.
