A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO JOHN (FIRST READER ONLY)

It was already dawn.

Jesus was standing on the shore,/

But the disciples did not realise that it was Jesus./

He said to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?/

They said, "No"./

He said, "Cast your net over the right side of the boat and you will find something."/

So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in/

Because of the large number of fish./

The disciple who Jesus loved said, "It is the Lord"/

Peter wrapped himself up and jumped into the sea./

The other disciples came in the boat, for they were

Not far from shore./

Jesus said to them, "Come have breakfast"/

They did not dare to ask, "Who are you?"/
