John recognized the stranger, and exclaimed to Peter, "It is the Lord." Peter was so elated and so glad that in his eagerness he cast himself into the water and was soon standing by the side of his Master. The other disciples came in their boat, dragging the net with fishes. "As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread."

Johannes genkendte den fremmede og sagde til Peter: "Det er Herren." Peter blev så opstemt og så glad, at han i sin ivrighed kastede sig i vandet og snart stod ved sin Mesters side. De andre disciple kom i deres båd og halede garnet med fiskene efter sig. "Da de nu kom i land, ser de dér en kulild og fisk, liggende derpå, og brød."
