The Second Miraculous Catch of Fish At The Sea Of Tiberias
The guide that I’ve been following, as with many other lists that consider the miracles of Jesus, does not list the transfiguration, his resurrection, walking through walls, or appearing out of nowhere and disappearing without a trace as miracles. But we know that in our mortal bodies we cannot do such things as this. If we count these as part of Jesus’ miracles, our final number of miracles recorded in the Bible is forty-one. Then, we should consider Jesus being caught away into the sky on Pentecost as a part of the miracles. However, according to other scholars, there are only thirty-seven, and the miraculous catch of fish on the Sea of Tiberias is the last one. But as you can see, I disagree and believe there are forty-two. I needed a guide because, if others have put in the work, why not use it to my advantage? Should I go on and cover these five or stop here? I’ll let you know tomorrow.
After the resurrection, the disciples didn’t know what to do, so they went back to work. Imagine losing the only job you’ve known for the last three years and having to go back to your old ways; it must have been challenging for them. Peter, John, and five other disciples set out into the sea to fish. Catching nothing, they heard a call from the shore telling them to set their nets on the other side of the boat. It was Jesus, but they weren’t sure of who it was. After moving their nets, they caught an overwhelming number of fish; that’s when they realized that it was the Lord who had called to them. Peter, naked, hurried, put on his clothes, and swam to the shore to greet him. Jesus had already cooked the fish, and breakfast was ready when they got to shore, and they all ate breakfast together. Jesus then gave Peter instructions to feed his sheep.
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. John 21:12
