	SLT Smith's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	After these things Jesus again manifested himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias and so he made manifest.	After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.	Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way:
2	There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and they of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.	Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.	Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3	Simon Peter says to them, I retire to fish. They say to him, We also go with thee. They came forth, and went up into the ship quickly; and in that night they caught nothing.	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.	“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4	And morning being already come, Jesus stood on the sea-shore: yet the disciples knew not that it is Jesus.	Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.	Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5	Then says Jesus to them, Children, have ye nothing cooked to eat? They answered him, No.	Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.”	He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered.
6	And he said to them, Cast the net to the right parts of the ship, and ye shall find. Therefore they cast, and were no more able to draw it, from the multitude of fishes.	He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.	He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
7	Then that disciple says, whom Jesus loved, to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter having heard that it is the Lord, girded round the upper garment, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.	That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.	Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
