Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
"Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake
Tiberias. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in
Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with
two other disciples. Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing!"
The others said, "We will go with you." They went out in their boat.
But they didn't catch a thing that night.
Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did
not realize who he was. Jesus shouted, "Friends, have you caught

He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me." 47 The woman saw that she had been found o...
