John 21:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.

5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.

6 He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

8 The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
