The object of this miracle which Jesus worked solely for Peter and the other disciples was twofold: 1. Like all the other miracles it was meant to increase and confirm the faith of the disciples; 2. it was meant to prepare the disciples, and especially St. Peter, for the apostolic office, which was typified by this miracle.
After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. [16] Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. [17] Of these seven disciples, the last two remain unnamed.
In John 21, Peter goes fishing with six other disciples. They do not catch any fish all night, but in the morning Jesus meets them and tells them to throw their net on the other side of the boat. When they do, there is a miraculous catch of 153 fish. Jesus and his disciples have breakfast on the shore. Jesus prepares the breakfast of bread and ...
Luke 24:12 describes this same scene, but it adds that on the trip home Peter was "wondering what had happened". John does not make clear what is in the minds of the disciples, and some read John 20:8 as meaning that one or more of the pair had been convinced of the resurrection.
Mark 16:12–13 has a similar account that describes the appearance of Jesus to two disciples while they were walking in the country, at about the same time in the Gospel narrative. [165] In the Miraculous catch of 153 fish Jesus appears to his disciples on the Sea of Galilee, and thereafter Jesus encourages the Apostle Peter to serve his ...
15:And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16:But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17:And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Thus the act of fishing brings the fish from the domain of sin and death to that of God. Similarly the disciples are tasked with bringing souls from sin and evil into the domain of God. The water reference might also be linked to the idea of baptism, which in Matthew 28:19 is explicitly linked to the disciples' mission. [5]: 138
The chapter may be divided into three distinct sections. Verses 1-18 describe events at Jesus' empty tomb when it is found empty and the appearance of the risen Jesus to Mary Magdalene (see Noli me tangere). The second section describes Jesus' appearances to his disciples, while the final two verses relate why the author wrote this gospel. [5]
