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 distance from the shore, and the disciples saw a stranger standing upon the beach, who accosted them with the question, “Children, have ye any meat?” Not recognizing Jesus, they answered, “No.” “And 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.” {3SP 227.2}

Imidlertid stod en enlig person på stranden og lod sit blik følge med dem, medens han dog selv forblev usynlig. Omsider blev det lyst. Båden var kun lille afstand fra strandbredden, og disciplene så en fremmed stående der, som rette følgende spørgsmål til dem: "Mon i har noget at spise, børn?" Da de ikke kendte Jesus, svarede de: "Nej." Men 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." (Joh 21,5.6)
