John 21:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”[a] So they threw it,[b] and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he[c] heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked)[d] 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[e] away.
