Jesus Makes Breakfast by the Lake
Seven disciples were together by the Sea of Tiberias: Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, the sons of Zebedee and two others.
—I'm going out to fish —Simon Peter said.
—We'll go with you —the others answered.
They went out in the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
—Friends, haven't you any fish? —Jesus called out to them.
—No —they answered.
—Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.
They did, and they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter:
—It is the Lord!
Peter jumped into the water to get to him quickly. The others followed in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.
When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
—Bring some of the fish you have just caught —Jesus told them. And he added—: Come and have breakfast.
None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
Jesus made breakfast for his friends, after a hard night.
Let's talk: How can you take care of someone who is tired?
Jesus takes care of his friends. And he takes care of you too. Goodnight.
