Jesus restores Peter by the Sea of Galilee

After a night without a catch, the disciples obeyed a voice from shore and drew in a great number of fish. Over breakfast Jesus asked Peter three times whether he loved Him, charged him to care for His sheep, and again said, Follow Me (John 21:1-19).

📖 John 21:1–3

1Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
