"Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus)."
— John 21:4, Bible in Basic English
“But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.”
“But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. ”
“But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.”
“When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.”
After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.
Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.
Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.
Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).
So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.
And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.
So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.
