Jesus & the Miraculous Catch of Fish | The Bible

The story of the miraculous catch of fish occurs in the gospel of Luke and the gospel of John , but in very different contexts. In the gospel of Luke, Jesus is teaching by the sea of Galilee, and there's so many people that he needs to get into a boat. And he stands in the boat while the people stand on the shore, but after he's finished teaching, he says to Peter, whose boat it is, ""Let's go out into deep water and let down our nets for a catch."" Peter, who is known as Simon at this point says, ""Lord, we've fished all night. We've caught nothing, but if you say so we'll let down our nets."" And they do and of course, they catch a huge amount of fish such that the nets were about to break. And Simon Peter realizes what going here and he tells Jesus to go away, but Jesus says ""Come. Come with me and you will fish for people."" And he follows Jesus once they get on shore. Now, the other story in John, takes place after the resurrection of Jesus in John 21. The disciples have gone fishing not knowing quite what to do, and Jesus appears on the shore and yells out to them, ""Friends have you caught anything?"" And they say no. And he says, ""Throw your nets on the other side of the boat."" And they do and they catch all these fish. And the disciple whom Jesus loves says, ""That's the Lord, that's Jesus."" And Jesus swims to shore, and there's a fire going by Jesus, and he asks, ""Bring me some of the fish."" And Peter runs and grabs some of the fish, and they have a little barbecue on the shore. The story continues with Jesus asking Peter 3 times, ""Do you love me?"" And Peter, basically affirms his love for Jesus, somewhat undoing his 3-fold denial of Jesus earlier. The gospel of John concludes in this way. With Jesus and Peter reconciled and the new chapter of the people of God beginning.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about an informative and paraphrased look on the stories depicted in the Christian Bible. I don't agree with everything Howcast puts up either, but I just look past it and move on. They've got 8, 214 videos, I'm sure you can find another.
Peace.

People here are acusing others of being shortsighted but unsuscribe at the first hint of a different view. That's pretty hypocritical people.

[jeremiahrangel]

read the Holy Bible and see the real word of Jesus do not let others deceive you by mixing truth in with lies for if you are blind you may be deceived.

[Vahnno]

And this teaches us how to do what, exactly?

[roxi]

There's three things you never discuss: religion, politics, and The Great Pumpkin.

[animalistic]

I dont think this is appropriate for howcast, unless theyre doing various religions....

[murrayc]

Even as an atheist, I am going to come to the DEFENSE of "Howcast" and their religious videos.

Please remember that Howcast creates videos for NUMEROUS topics including non-other than S.E.X.! On their website, they even have a video for "how to have sex in a hot tub" and "how to milk the clitoris". Praise Jesus!

Remember, fellow atheists, we are in the business of promoting rational thought, so do your homework FIRST before flying off the handle and unsubscribing in protest.

Hey howcast you should make a video on "how religion has anything to do with howcast"

[sammiller]

If you're going to tell the story, at least get it right. 1:58 -- it was Peter that swam to shore, not Jesus...

[seraphimrock]

not cool how cast not cool. I'm pagan how does this help me.

[youngmallet]

@youngmallet Its too bad, how can Howcast possibly hope to recover from this great loss now???

@bestfrproduction1 wouldn't it be better to just tell the truth? the truth hurts like a bandage being ripped off, but lies cut like a machete cuts off a limb.

[Vryan]

Howcast covers a lot of things, why can't it cover religion?

[Emerie_Bieds]

@Pucothemage007 God* and yes, yes i do

[tigerlilja]

I thought this was an educational channel

[WanderingRationalist]

@Shawn14459 Excuse me, but I asked a legitimate question. I did not attack any religion outright. For you to attack me, sir, shows just how heavily you use religion as a crutch to justify your life.

[HubbaBubba]

@Shawn14459
I'm sure that's exactly what Jesus would say.

[Sense]

@jargonhead That was an ignorant comment.

[HelloYesThisIsDog]

I thought Howcast taught us USEFUL things?

This annoys me that the dislike button is so high....
