Jesus Restores Peter for Kids: Bible Story & Printables

The story in a nutshell

After He was risen, Jesus stood on the shore of the sea of Tiberias, where Simon Peter and other disciples had fished all night and "caught nothing." He told them, "Cast the net on the right side of the ship," and Peter drew the net to land full of great fishes, one hundred fifty-three, and it was not broken. Jesus said, "Come and dine," and three times He asked Peter, "lovest thou me?" Peter said, "thou knowest that I love thee," and Jesus said, "Feed my sheep" and "Follow me."
