John 21:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?[a] They answered him, “No.” 6 And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”[b] So they threw it,[c] and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he[d] heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked)[e] and threw himself into the sea.
