They were too much amazed to question whence came the fire and the food. "Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught." Peter rushed for the net, which he had dropped, and helped his brethren drag it to the shore. After the work was done, and the preparation made, Jesus bade the disciples come and dine. He broke the food, and divided it among them, and was known and acknowledged by all the seven. The miracle of feeding the five thousand on the mountainside was now brought to their minds; but a mysterious awe was upon them, and in silence they gazed upon the risen Saviour.

De var alt for forbavsede til at spørge, hvor ilden og brødet kom fra. "Jesus siger til dem: Kom med nogle af de fisk, som I lige har fanget." Peter styrtede hen til garnet, som han havde sluppet, for at hjælpe sine brødre med at trække det op på bredden. Da dette var sket og forberedelserne gjort, bød Jesus disciplene komme og holde måltid. Han brød brødet og delte det imellem dem, og han blev genkendt og anerkendt af alle de syv. Underet, hvor de fem tusinde blev mættet på bjergskråningen, dukkede op i deres erindring; men de var grebet af en forunderlig ærefrygt, og de stirrede i tavshed, på den opstandene Frelser.
