5 Então Jesus lhes disse: Filhinhos, tendes [algo] para comer? Responderam-lhe: Não.

6 E ele lhes disse: Lançai a rede do lado direito do barco, e achareis. Lançaram-na pois, e já não a podiam tirar pela multidão dos peixes.

7 Disse pois aquele discípulo, a quem Jesus amava, a Pedro: É o Senhor! Ouvindo pois Simão Pedro que era o Senhor, vestiu-se com a roupa, (porque estava nu), e lançou-se ao mar.

8 E os outros discípulos vieram com o barquinho (porque não estavam longe da terra, mas sim a cerca de duzentos côvados) trazendo a rede de peixes.

9 Quando pois desceram à terra, viram já as brasas postas, e um peixe posto nelas, e mais pão.
