Jesus Cooks Breakfast On The Beach
Breakfast by the Sea - After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 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 said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went. Jesus directed them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, resulting in a miraculous fish catch.
Jesus cooked breakfast for these followers on the beach and then provided Peter with a new opportunity to follow Him and care for others in the future. Peter had previously denied Jesus, but now Jesus says to "feed my sheep.". The expression, "By hook or by crook," you may be surprised to learn, originated from the 21st chapter of the Gospel of John.

At Peter's suggestion they have all gone out in his boat to fish.
They fish all night, but have no luck, and catch nothing. They are fairly close to the shore, and as the early. The breakfast on the shore is a moment of restoration and commissioning, particularly for Peter, who would soon be reinstated and charged with shepherding Jesus' flock (John 21:15-19).
