All the while a lone watcher upon the shore followed them with His eye, while He Himself was unseen. At length the morning dawned. The boat was but a little way from the shore, and the disciples saw a stranger standing upon the beach, who accosted them with the question, "Children, have ye any meat?" When they answered, "No," "He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."

Hele tiden havde en ensom skikkelse, der holdt vagt på strandbredden, fulgt dem med sit blik, medens han selv var usynlig for dem. Endelig gryede morgenen.

Han sagde til dem: Kast garnet ud på højre side af båden, så skal I få Da kastede de det ud, og nu kunne de ikke længere hale garnet ind, så mange fisk var der."
