In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was GOD
Chapter 21
- After these things Jesus showed Himself again
to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
(John 6:1)
- Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael
of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples
were together. (Matt. 4:21;
John 1:45 - 51;
John 2:1)
- Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."
They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out
and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. (Luke 5: 5)
- But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood
on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. (John 20:14)
- Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you
any food?" They answered Him, "No."
- And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right
side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they
were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish. (Luke 5: 4 - 7)
- Therefore the disciple whom Jesus loved said
to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was
the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged
into the sea.
- But the other disciples came in the little
boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging
the net with fish.
- Then, as soon as they had come to land, they
saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
- Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish
which you have just caught."
- Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to
land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there
were so many, the net was not broken.
- Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
Yet none of the disciples dare ask Him, "Who are You?" - knowing that
it was the Lord. (Acts 10:41)
- Jesus then came and took the bread and gave
it to them, and likewise the fish.
- This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself
to His disciples after He was raised from the dead. (John 20:19; John
20:26)
- So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said
to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He
said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him,
"Feed My lambs."
- He said to him again a second time, "Simon,
son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know
that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep." (Ps. 79:13; Heb. 13:20)
- He said to him the third time, "Simon, son
of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him
the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know
all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My
sheep. (John 2:24&25; John 16:30)
- "Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were
younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are
old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry
you where you do not wish." (Acts 12:3&4)
- This He spoke, signifying by what death he
would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow
Me."
- Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple
whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper,
and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" (John 13:25)
- Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord,
what about this man?"
- Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain
till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."
- Then this saying went out among the brethren
that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that
he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that
to you?"
- This is the disciple who testifies of these
things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
(John 19:35)
- And there are also many other things that
Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the
world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
Amen. (Amos 7:10; John
20:30)
