(21:3-13) One night Peter and the apostles decided to go fishing. They fished all night but
caught nothing. The next morning a man on shore asked if they'd caught anything. When they told him they hadn't, the man told
them to cast their net on the right side of the boat. So they did that and caught so many fish they couldn't haul in the net (153 in all).
One of the apostles (the one that Jesus loved) decided that the guy on shore was really Jesus. When Peter, who was naked at the time,
heard it was Jesus, he put his coat on and jumped into the water. Some other apostles came out in another boat and helped tow
the net to shore. When they got in, Jesus was busy cooking fish over a fire. He told them to
eat some of the fish and bread he'd been cooking. None of the disciples dared to ask Jesus who he was, but they all figured it was
Jesus, anyway.
(21:3) "Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth ...
and that night they caught nothing."
(21:4) "When the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."
(21:5) "Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No."
(21:6) "He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find.
They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."
(21:7) "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." What the Bible says about nudism
(21:8) "The other disciples came in a little ship ... dragging the net with fishes."
(21:9) "As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread."
(21:10) "Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught."
(21:11) "Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three."
(21:12) "Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him,
Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord."
(21:13) "Jesus ... taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise."
(21:15-16) Jesus keeps asking Peter the same question:
Do you love me more than all the others? Peter keeps telling him that he does.
(21:15) "Jesus saith to Simon Peter ... lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee."
(21:16) "He saith to him again the second time, Simon ... lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
love thee."
(21:17) "He saith unto him the third time, Simon ... lovest thou me? Peter
was grieved because he said unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee." Did Jesus know everything?
(21:20) "The disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper" Was Jesus gay?
(21:22) "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"
(21:23) "Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him,
He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"
Either way, Jesus was wrong. John died nearly 2000 years ago and Jesus didn't return.
(21:25) "The world itself could not contain the books that
should be written."
John says that a single book couldn't contain all the things that Jesus did. Yet the author of Acts claims that he included
everything that Jesus did in his "former treatise" (the gospel of Luke). Did Luke include everything that Jesus did?
21:1
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea
of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
21:2
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael
of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
21:3
Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go
with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that
night they caught nothing.
21:4
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
21:5
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him,
No.
21:6
And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye
shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for
the multitude of fishes.
21:7
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.
21:8
And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from
land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
21:9
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread.
21:10
Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
21:11
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the
net broken.
21:12
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask
him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
21:13
Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
21:14
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.
21:15
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
21:16
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my sheep.
21:17
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
him, Feed my sheep.
21:18
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest
thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry
thee whither thou wouldest not.
21:19
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he
had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
21:20
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee?
21:21
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
21:22
Jesus saith unto him, If
I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
21:23
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should
not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that
he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
21:24
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these
things: and we know that his testimony is true.
21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not
contain the books that should be written. Amen.
