John 21 · Grade 3
Feed My Sheep
Read the Story
Peter and six other disciples went fishing on the Sea of Tiberias. They caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus stood on the shore, but they did not know Him. He told them to cast the net on the right side of the boat. They caught so many fish they could not pull the net in. The disciple Jesus loved said, It's the Lord! Peter jumped into the sea.
On shore there was a fire with fish and bread. Jesus said, Come and eat breakfast. The net held 153 large fish, and it did not tear.
After breakfast, Jesus asked Peter, Do you love me? Peter said, Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you. Jesus said, Feed my lambs. Jesus asked a second and third time. Peter was sad but answered yes. Jesus told him to feed His sheep. Then Jesus said, Follow me. John wrote that Jesus did many other things, too many to write.
