The Bible story

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." Read the whole story in John 21:1–19 (KJV).

Memory verse: "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs." (John 21:15, KJV). It is printed on every level.
