John 21:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he[a] heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked)[b] and threw himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits[c] away.
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire laid there, and a fish lying on it,[d] and bread.
