Converting a random epoch time into a readable format

I am trying to create a script that will take epoch (input from command line) and convert it into a readable format in bash/shell

---------- Post updated at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:59 PM ----------
Code:
#!bin/bash

read -p "Please enter a number to represent epoch time:" STRING
echo "The UNIX time for $STRING is ($(($date -d "$STRING" + %m-%d-%Y %T utc)"
