John 21:7
Douay-Rheims
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
He girt about him the upper tunic (as the Greek term signifies) that it might not incommode him in swimming. He cast himself into the sea to aid in bringing the net to shore. Reverence for our Lord led him to put on the outward garb, although he was not uncovered.
