KJV ORIGINAL
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
So John (the disciple Jesus was closest to) told Peter, 'That's Jesus!' The moment Peter heard it was actually Jesus, he threw on his fishing clothes — because apparently he'd been working shirtless — and literally jumped into the water to get to him.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you realize Jesus is right there, nothing else matters — you just go.
