Perhaps the most engaging of the biblical accounts of Our Lord's post-resurrection appearances is where Jesus prepares a meal for the apostles by the Sea of Tiberius. (John 21:9-13)
Several of the apostles had been fishing all night but had not caught any fish. Jesus tells them to put their nets down on the right side. They did as he said and caught 153 fish. When they came to shore they found that Jesus had prepared a meal of bread and fish, which he then invited them to eat.
James Tissot's watercolor entitled Meal of Our Lord and the Apostles (above) depicts this event.
