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.
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.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew NOT that it was Jesus.
---NOTICE JESUS CALLS THEM CHILDREN...THEY DONT KNOW IT IS JESUS CHRIST, THOUGH, AND SO HE IS NAKED, AND HE CALLS THEM CHILDREN...THIS REMINDS ME OF MANY THINGS AND PEOPLE WHICH IS HOMELESS, AND MORE...HE CALLED THEM CHILDREN...I HAVE EXPREIENCED THIS BEFORE IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES...THERE IS LIKE A HINT OF JOY...AND I FEEL THERE IS SUCH IN THIS STATMENT..---In such circumstances remember this ALLLLLWAYYYYYYYSS....Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. .AND ONLY THE BELOVED DISCIPLE REALIZED IT WAS THE LORD...WHY?...WHY DID HE NOT LET PETER SEE, BUT JOHN...DID NOT PETER DENY CHRIST 3 TIMES...IT HAPPENS WITH 3'S WITH PETER, IN MANY CASES...THIS IS A COMMON THING WITH PETER...BE WISE OF THIS...THIS IS A BIG DEAL WITH GOD...HE IS SOOO PERSONAL... JOHN WAS FAVORED AND LOVED BY GOD ALMIGHTY.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No
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.
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.
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.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
---NOW THIS BAFFLES ME IN HIS WAYS...Here is Jesus Christ Glorified For All things has been given Him and ALL Power of the UNIVERSE...yes that even mean electricity...Here He is cooking them dinner, which came from the catch of 153 fishes in ONE NET...Now Jesus Christ is the VINE, Is not 153 like a cluster of grapes growing on a VINE...Did He NOT make Peter and all HIS DISCIPLES, except the one for he didn't overcome, fishers of men...He is preparing the dinner...the mystery will unfold...as THIS is not premeditated so I write these as I post...
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.
---153 FISHES...this gets to me as why...153 fishes just as much as Jesus Christ writing in the sand twice...I ponder this...the answer will come...for when it is an event with Jesus Christ everything means something such as so it had to be written...there is a reason...It is Good Indeed...BUT TO ME IT IS LIKE AN ITCH WHICH COMES AND GOES...FOR THERE IS A GREAT REASON OF SUCH AS IT IS...something Jesus did...
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.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the THIRD time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, AFTER THAT HE WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
---HENCE, Peter was crucified upside DOWN, FOR he stated for I am not worthy to die like my Lord...
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 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, WHAT IS THAT TO THEE? follow thou me.
---What is that to thee? Jesus is saying I'm writer of this life, and saying in a way as I see it, as that is none of your business...for it is written as you delight In Him...God is PERFECT in the destiny written for ALL...Pray you Endure to the end...Remember Jesus specifically prayed for Peter's Faith to Fail Him NOT...because HE HAD to...Now He is saying worry of yourself and feed my lambs by your hand...fulfill yours by MY HAND...that is all you need to FULFILL and FOCUS ON...none other...and FEED my LAMBS and Sheep...He had to make a point because they are lambs before they are sheep...be wise for JESUS TEACHES in PERFECTIONS ponder HIS VERY WORDS and DEEDS and Keep Asking Him about everthing...Peter didn't search Himself enough for he would not have denied him...
----This Disciple died a natural death, but was tortured severely and WOULD not DENY Jesus CHRIST...but HOW people take things and run as in v23...and He didn't die as expected but of a Natural death...as we know it....It is THIS DISCIPLE which WROTE the VERY GOSPEL of JOHN...I have often wondered where was Peter's...He gets the glory of the Day of Pentecost...and Writes and Epistle but where is His Gospel...could it be there was not one because He denied him...for Luke was a Physician, which is another mystery and was a Gentile at that but there is a Gospel which God Ordained or it wouldn't be as so...
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?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
---v24 Such Goes with Hebrew 13:7 ---Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
---Yes All these were tried and many died because they would not DENY Jesus CHRIST...It was so bad in the Roman Chronicles they served Christian Martyrs such as this Error..."The Jews in the Temple at Jerusalem were the first persecutors of the Church; but in approximately AD 60, Nero began his persecution of the Christians throughout the empire. He was the first to do so...
| The last persecution of Christians by Rome was the most severe. Under Diocletian, so many Christian bodies (mostly scraps of human flesh) were left from the martyrdoms that it was chopped up and sold like hamburger to the Romans to feed their household pets. Human flesh was sold in the shops..." http://www.leestoneking.com/150%20-%20318%20AD.htm --- Church History, from They All WOULD NOT DENY CHRIST...Hence Such as SO...is HERE...and Is placed for the 5th Seal which is added to it daily in other countries to this day....Revelations 6:9-119 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. More of this is coming with the Book of Matthew...which is next Praise the Almighty Jesus Christ... |
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.
