6 ARST He told them,“Throw your net off the right side of the boat and you will catch some fish.” So they did so, and they caught so many fish that they were not able to pull the net{ into the boat}. BSB BSB: He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
7 ARST I, the disciple whom Jesus loved, then told Peter,“It is the Lord Jesus!” So when Simon Peter heard this, he put on his coat(he had taken it off to work) and jumped into the water{ to swim to the shore}. BSB BSB: Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

BSB BSB: So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.
12 ARST Jesus told them,“Come{ here and} eat breakfast!” None of the disciples were bold enough to ask him who he was. They knew it was the Lord Jesus. BSB BSB: “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.
13 ARST Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. BSB BSB: Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.

17 ARST Jesus asked him a third time,“Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus asked him three times if he loved him. Peter replied to him,“Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus told him,“Take care of those who trust in me. BSB BSB: Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
18 ARST I am telling you the truth: When you were young, you put your own clothes on, and you walked wherever you wanted to go. However, when you are old, you will extend your hands away from your body, and someone else will put clothes on you and take you where you do not want to go.” BSB BSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 ARST (Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die in order to show people how great God is).

23 ARST Because{ Jesus said this}, the rumor that the disciple John was not going to die was repeated among the believers. However, Jesus did not tell Peter that John would not die. Rather, he said,“If I want him to continue living until I return, that is not your concern!” BSB BSB: Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”
25 ARST Jesus also did so many other things that if people wrote down every one of them, I suppose that the whole world would not even be big enough to contain the books that those people would write about them. BSB BSB: There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.
