John 21:1, Sea of TiberiasNAU John 21:1 After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias [only used here], and He manifested Himself in this way.The use of Tiberias dates the gospel late. Faussets Bible dictionary says; Tiberias; 3569.03 The Gospels -- according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke -- never use the designation "sea of Tiberias but the local name," sea" or "lake of Galilee," which shows they must have written before that became the universal designation, as it had in the time of John's writing.

John 21:2, Question: "What should we learn from the life of John the Apostle?" gotquestions.orgQuestion: "What should we learn from the life of John the Apostle?"Answer: The Apostle John is the author of five New Testament books: the gospel of John, the three short epistles that also bear his name (1, 2, and 3 John) and the book of Revelation. John was part of Jesus inner circle and, along with Peter and James, John was given the privilege of witnessing Jesus conversation with Moses and Elijah on the mount of the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9). His importance in the twelve grew as he matured, and after the crucifixion, he became a pillar in the Jerusalem church (Galatians 2:9), ministered with Peter (Acts 3:1, 4:13, 8:14), and finally was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Romans, where he received from God the majestic visions that comprise the book of Revelation. Not to be confused with John the Baptist, the Apostle John is the brother of James, another of the twelve disciples of Jesus. Together, they were called by Jesus Boanerges, which means sons of thunder, and therein we find a key to Johns personality. Both brothers were characterized by zeal, passion and ambition. In his early days with Jesus, at times John acted rashly, recklessly, impetuously, and aggressively. We see him in Mark 9 forbidding a man to cast out demons in Jesus name because he was not part of the twelve (Mark 9:38-41). Jesus gently rebuked him, saying no one could cast out demons in Jesus name and then turn around and speak evil of Him. In Luke 9:51-54, we see the brothers wanting to call down fire from heaven to destroy the Samaritans who refused to welcome Jesus. Again, Jesus had to rebuke them for their intolerance and lack of genuine love for the lost. Johns zeal for Jesus was also influenced by his natural ambition, as seen in his request (through his mother) that he and his brother be seated on Jesus right and left hands in the kingdom, an incident that caused a temporary rift between the brothers and the other disciples (Matthew 20:20-24).In spite of these youthful expressions of misdirected passion, John aged well. He began to understand the need for humility in those who desired to be great. Johns is the only gospel that records Jesus washing the disciples feet (John 13:4-16). Jesus simple act of servanthood must have impacted John greatly. By the time of the crucifixion, Jesus had enough confidence in the young man to turn the care of His mother over to him, a charge John took very seriously. From that day on, John cared for her as if she were his own mother (John 19:25-27). Johns rash request for special honor in the kingdom had given way to a compassion and humility that would characterize his ministry in his later life. Although he remained courageous and bold, his ambition was balanced by the humility he learned at Jesus feet. This willingness to serve others and suffer for the sake of the gospel must have enabled him to bear his final imprisonment on Patmos where, according to reliable historical sources, he lived in a cave, cut off from those he loved, and was treated with cruelty and reproach. In the opening of the book of Revelation, which he received from the Holy Spirit during this time, he referred to himself as your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus (Revelation 1:9). He had learned to look beyond his earthly sufferings to the heavenly glory that awaits all who patiently endure.

John was passionately devoted to the proclamation of truth. No one in Scripture, except the Lord Jesus, had more to say about the concept of truth. His joy was proclaiming the truth to others and then watching them walk in it (3 John 4). His strongest condemnation was for those who perverted the truth and led others astray, especially if they claimed to be believers (1 John 2:4). His passion for truth fueled his concern for the sheep who might be deceived by false teachers, and his warnings about them take up much of 1 John. He had no qualms about identifying as false prophets and antichrists those who tried to pervert the truth, even proclaiming them to be demonic in nature (1 John 2:18, 26, 3:7, 4:1-7).

At the same time, John is also called the apostle of love. In his own gospel, he refers to himself as the one whom Jesus loved (John 13:23, 20:2, 21:7, 21:20). He is depicted as the one leaning against Jesus breast at the last supper. His brief second epistle is filled with expressions of his deep love for those in his care. He addresses his first epistle to a group of believers whom I love in the truth and exhorts them to love one another by walking in obedience to Jesus commands (1 John 1:1, 5-6).

Johns life serves to remind us of several lessons which we can apply to our own lives. First, zeal for the truth must always be balanced by a love for people. Without it, zeal can turn to harshness and judgmentalism. Conversely, abundant love that lacks the ability to discern truth from error can become gushing sentimentality. As John learned as he matured, if we speak the truth in love, we, and those we touch, will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ (Ephesians 4:15).

Second, confidence and boldness, untempered by compassion and grace, can quickly turn to pride and smugness. Confidence is a wonderful virtue, but without humility, it can become self-confidence, which can lead to boasting and an attitude of exclusiveness. When that happens, our witness of the grace of God is tainted, and others see in us exactly the kind of person they wish not to be. Like John, if we are to be effective witnesses for Christ, our demeanor should be one that reflects a passion for the truth, compassion for people, and a steadfast desire to serve and represent our Lord by reflecting His humility and grace.

John 21:3, Going Fishing?NAU John 21:3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.It's easy to pick on Peter and say that he was supposed to go to Galilee and wait (Mark 16:7), but his profession was fishing. He went back to work, to earn a living.The Messiah was dead, we need to eat.

John 21:3, Going Fishing?NAU John 21:3 they caught nothing.Being outside of Gods will yields nothing.I wonder if any of them remembered the very first of the ministry;NAU Luke 5:5 Simon answered and said, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets. 6 When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;


John 21:5, They Caught NothingNAU John 21:5 So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, No."NAU Luke 5:7 and they signaled to their partners in the other boat, for them to come and help them. And they came, and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"


John 21:6Great Number Of FishNAU John 21:6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

John 21:6, Cast the net (MalcolmInIsrael)..A great view through the net (spread out like the shape of the Sea of Galilee) towards the Kingdom of heaven.


John 21:6, Cast the net (MalcolmInIsrael)Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind. When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away. That is the way it will be at the end of the world. [Matthew 13:47-49]..


Cast net being thrown

The Cast NetThe cast net was a circular net about 18-25 feet (5.5-7.5 m) in diameter. It was thrown by a single fisherman, and lead sinkers that were attached to the edge of the net pulled it down in order to trap the fish. There were two ways to retrieve the net. The fisherman could either dive down into the water and pull the fish out one by one, or the fisherman could gather the edges together and pull the net into the boat or onto the shore. Sometimes a rope was woven around the outside edge of the net, thus allowing the fisherman to retrieve the net by pulling in the rope.

John 21:7 Matthew 14:29 NAU John 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.Remember Matthew 14:29?

John 21:14,

NAU John 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.John is only referring to the 3 appearances in mentioned in his gospel (John 20:19-23, 20:26:29)NAU 1 Corinthians 15:5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

The Greek GeekAgape vs. Phileo

ByS. Edgar

John 21:15, Agape vs. PhileoNAU John 21:15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love [agapao, verb of agape] Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love [phileo] You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs. 16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love [agapao] Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love [phileo] You." He said to him, "Shepherd My sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love [phileo] Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love [phileo] You." Jesus said to him, "Tend My sheep.

John 21:15do you love Me more than theseNAU John 21:15 Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?Who or what is Jesus referring to when He asks about these?The Greek word for these is third person, genitive case plural masculine or neuter could be translated he, she, or it (they, these).John MacArthur says that Jesus is referring to the boat, fishing nets, fish, etc.. In other words his love of fishing is in question.I think the three questions, and affirmations, correspond to Peters 3 denials. (Matthew 26:33, Mark 14:29)

(Mark 14:29)

John 21:17, Feed My Sheep, Assembling TogetherJohn 21:17 "Tend My sheep. We require continual feeding of Gods Word;Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.D. L. Moody said, A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon Gods boundless store of grace from day to day as we need it.

John 21:17, Successor of PeterSuccessor of the Apostle Peter, April 03, 2013Pope Francis became absorbed in prayer and repeated with a loud voice the three professions of Peter: Lord, You are the Christ, Son of the Living God; Lord, to whom do we go? You have the words of eternal life; Lord, You know all things! You know that I love you! At that moment, we had the distinct impression that the life of Peter rose out of centuries past and became present and living in the current Successor of the Apostle Peter.- CatholicCulture.orgDLK; The bold & underline emphasis is mine.

John 21:2, Question: "What should we learn from the life of John the Apostle?" gotquestions.orgQuestion: "What should we learn from the life of John the Apostle?"Answer: The Apostle John is the author of five New Testament books: the gospel of John, the three short epistles that also bear his name (1, 2, and 3 John) and the book of Revelation. John was part of Jesus inner circle and, along with Peter and James, John was given the privilege of witnessing Jesus conversation with Moses and Elijah on the mount of the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9). His importance in the twelve grew as he matured, and after the crucifixion, he became a pillar in the Jerusalem church (Galatians 2:9), ministered with Peter (Acts 3:1, 4:13, 8:14), and finally was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Romans, where he received from God the majestic visions that comprise the book of Revelation. Not to be confused with John the Baptist, the Apostle John is the brother of James, another of the twelve disciples of Jesus. Together, they were called by Jesus Boanerges, which means sons of thunder, and therein we find a key to Johns personality. Both brothers were characterized by zeal, passion and ambition. In his early days with Jesus, at times John acted rashly, recklessly, impetuously, and aggressively. We see him in Mark 9 forbidding a man to cast out demons in Jesus name because he was not part of the twelve (Mark 9:38-41). Jesus gently rebuked him, saying no one could cast out demons in Jesus name and then turn around and speak evil of Him. In Luke 9:51-54, we see the brothers wanting to call down fire from heaven to destroy the Samaritans who refused to welcome Jesus. Again, Jesus had to rebuke them for their intolerance and lack of genuine love for the lost. Johns zeal for Jesus was also influenced by his natural ambition, as seen in his request (through his mother) that he and his brother be seated on Jesus right and left hands in the kingdom, an incident that caused a temporary rift between the brothers and the other disciples (Matthew 20:20-24).In spite of these youthful expressions of misdirected passion, John aged well. He began to understand the need for humility in those who desired to be great. Johns is the only gospel that records Jesus washing the disciples feet (John 13:4-16). Jesus simple act of servanthood must have impacted John greatly. By the time of the crucifixion, Jesus had enough confidence in the young man to turn the care of His mother over to him, a charge John took very seriously. From that day on, John cared for her as if she were his own mother (John 19:25-27). Johns rash request for special honor in the kingdom had given way to a compassion and humility that would characterize his ministry in his later life. Although he remained courageous and bold, his ambition was balanced by the humility he learned at Jesus feet. This willingness to serve others and suffer for the sake of the gospel must have enabled him to bear his final imprisonment on Patmos where, according to reliable historical sources, he lived in a cave, cut off from those he loved, and was treated with cruelty and reproach. In the opening of the book of Revelation, which he received from the Holy Spirit during this time, he referred to himself as your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus (Revelation 1:9). He had learned to look beyond his earthly sufferings to the heavenly glory that awaits all who patiently endure.
