The disciples are weary, discouraged, and confused—until a mysterious man on the shore changes everything. As Peter and his friends return to fishing, a voice calls out with unexpected fishing advice… and a miracle unfolds.

In this humorous yet powerful retelling of John 21, two disciples recount the unbelievable events following Jesus’ resurrection—right in front of the very centurion who helped carry out the crucifixion. As doubt collides with undeniable truth, the audience is invited to witness the joy, shock, and wonder of a risen Savior who cooks breakfast on the beach.

Perfect for Easter season, post-resurrection teaching, or any time you want to stir hearts with the absurd and wonderful truth of the Gospel.

Sample script:

Centurion is on stage on guard.
Disciples come on, very happy.

D1: It was like everyone was so excited!

D2: Well, why not, I mean, seeing him there on the shore, calling to us!

D1 (thinks): It really was him, wasn’t it? . . I mean, really . .

D2: What do you mean, of course it was him! . . I mean you saw him with your own eyes . . .

D1: Yes, but I mean, after seeing him dead and all . .

D2 (laughs): And we call Thomas the doubter!

Centurion: You two . . I remember you . . . You were at Calvary . . when we solved the problem of the Nazarene prophet.

D1: And you are?

Centurion: I was the centurion assigned by Pilate to oversee the crucifixion of your Nazarene friend. . . But what’s with you two now, excited and happy? . . Not quite the same as when I saw you at Calvary just a few days ago.

D2: But a few days ago he was dead . . and now he’s alive!

Centurion: Nonsense man! . . . You Israelites, always talking foolishness! . . . The man was stone dead. . . I should know, I ran him through with my spear. . . . No, he was dead all right!

D1: Yes, he certainly was dead, there is no doubt of that. . . But he rose from the grave. . . He is alive!

Centurion: More Jewish stupid talk!

D2: We saw him . . we talked with him . . we ate with him!

Centurion: Only you people could go around saying things like that!

D1: There were seven of us, we all saw him.

Centurion: Sure, and I suppose these seven guys are ready stand up under penalty of death and swear you people saw this dead guy and talked with him?

D2: Of course! We all will! . . It was by the Sea of Tiberias. Peter, he wanted to get away so he decided that he would go fishing.

D1: We didn’t want Peter to be alone so we went with him.

D2: I tell you, Peter and some of the other guys are fishermen, but no matter where we went on the water, we never caught so much as one fish all night!

D1: Just after sunup we were about tired of it all . . and just plain tired! . . Then Thomas sees this guy standing on the shore, waving at us.

D2: The guy yells out, “Friends, haven’t you caught any fish?”

D1: I think, what a dumb question! . . I mean if we had caught fish we surely wouldn’t be sitting out here in a boat all night.

D2: So this guy on shore says, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will have lots of fish.”

D1: Right side, left side, what difference could it make? . . But we really had nothing to lose, so we did as the guy on shore suggested.

D2: Instant success! . . . . Right now the net was so full of fish that we couldn’t even get it into the boat.

D1: Then John looked more closely at the guy on the shore, and he started screaming! . . . “It is the Lord!”
