«Chapter 21»

Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Masthead Painting: “THE HAND OF GOD” by Yongsung Kim

NOTE: Scripture records two separate occasions on which Jesus caused a “miraculous draught of fishes”.
The artworks for each are readily distinguishable by Jesus’ location in the picture:
at the beginning of His public ministry, with Jesus aboard the boat;
and here at its end, with Jesus on the shoreline.

Glad you enjoy it.

A happy Sunday to you Dan, and all!
My favorites are #1 and #2.
There is something very comforting about those images. And the sky and sea in #2 are just amazing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Blessings to you, Pete. Although a telescope is a Wayback Machine, only artists such as these can give a glimpse of those events.

[SisterK]

Good morning!

[etabeta]

Thank you, Dan for such beautiful paintings and of course “die fenster)!

[telescope115]

You are so right!🙂

[Hebrews 11:6]

A blessed Sunday morn to you, Sis!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You told me once, Alba, what “etabeta” represents, but I think it actually means “fenster-lover”.

[Ezekiel]

The net... was full of large fish, 153..

"The Miraculous Draught of Fishes"

153 = "a great miracle" -- nes gadol [נס גדול] -- same as in the acronym on a dreidel for nes gadol haya sham (or po), "a great miracle happened there/here" (depends where you're at).

[Hebrews 11:6]

Jesus is the GodMan of Miracles. And one of His greatest is His miraculous draught of men, including you and me.

[Ezekiel]

The Messiah really knows how to gather everyone together for the total round up! He's not called the Redeemer for nuthin'. He *knows* how to deliver.

I really love the amazing story behind this song -- the brothers discovered an old cassette tape that was in really bad shape, and found a way to salvage it, to bring it back from the dead so to speak.

That way they could sing and play together with their father -- the way of love:

Roy Orbison - The Way Is Love (Music Video)

Roy's fragile voice is the majesty of the whole thing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Huge Roy fan here. Thanks for sharing that.

[InkStone]

Enjoy your posts, and your bio too!

[Ezekiel]

Thanks. The page is kind of all over the map, but it's for a good cause. 😊

This is one of the best name signs out there:

...the name comes from the translation of the Ancient Greek “sōtḗr (σωτήρ), literally savior, deliverer, preserver.
