Many other signs therefore did Yeshuah in the presence of the students, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that you may believe that Yeshuah is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in his name.
The 100 + 50 + 3 Great Fish caught 200 measures out!

This is one of my favorite passages as it proves that the title New Testament at the beginning of the 4 Gospels is greatly misleading, as much so as the Old Testament is! It is only by having sufficient knowledge of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms is it possible to distinguish whether either Paul, or James, is referring to the Law of Moses, (In its entirety), or merely to the Mosaic Covenant - that is, the Decalogue, which is of course, part of the 613 Laws. Paul spent his last 2 years expounding greatly the Messiah's Life through the Scriptures (Old), but it isn't that the Gospels make Moses etc. old, but rather, brand spanking New. If one is not illuminated by Moses and the Prophets then there is something seriously wrong, because these are the Autobiography of the Messiah Himself - He is the Rock that follows Moses (not precede him) as Paul says. If one is seriously studying the NT then it should be obvious that the Writers (clever ones at that) were writing to people who had sufficient knowledge of Moses to enable them to pen down in shorthand or fragmentary form. Such deep thinkers were the ancients that they normally had an amenuensis - or stenographer - to write down for them. Luke states that 'Attempts' were made to make an orderly account of the Messiah, but on close scrutiny they failed miserably - it is impossible, and without Moses and the Prophets - well, it is ridiculous!

After these things Yeshuah became visible himself again to the students at the Sea of Tiberius; and he became visible in this way. There was together Simon Peter, and Thomas, called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and of Zebedee, and 2 other of his students. |
|
Simon Peter said to them: Im going fishing. They say to him: We will also come with you. They went then and entered up to the boat with haste, and that night they caught nothing. But when day was now coming, Yeshuah stood on the shore: yet the students did not recognize that it was Yeshuah. |
|
Yeshuah therefore said to them: Children, have you not anything to eat? They answered him: No. |
|
And he said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall discover.They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw off for the masses of fish. |
|
The student therefore, whom Yeshuah loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord Teacher. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord Teacher, he put on his cloak about him for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea, but the other students came in the little boat for they were not far from the land, but about 200 cubits off, dragging the net of fish. |
|
So when they got out upon the Way, they saw a fire, appointed for this place and fish set up on it, and bread. Yeshuah said to them: Bring of the fish which you have now taken. |
|
Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, a 100 and 50 and 3 and for all there were so many, the net was not torn. Yeshuah said to them: Come, break your fast. And none of the students dared inquire of him:" Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord Teacher. |
|
Yeshuah came, and took the bread, and gave them, and the fish likewise, this is now the 3rd time that Yeshuah was made visible, (at the breaking of bread), to the students, after he was risen from the dead. |
|
So when they had broken their fast, Yeshuah said to Simon Peter: Simon of Jonah, do you love me more than these? He said to him: Yes, Lord Teacher; You know that I am fond of you. He said to him: Feed my lambs. He said to him again a 2nd time: Simon of Jonah, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord Teacher; you know that I am fond of you. He said to him, Tend my sheep. |
|
He said to him the 3rd time: Simon of Jonah, are you fond of me? And Peter was grieved because it is now the 3rd time asked if he was fond of him, and he said to him: Lord Teacher, you have all Knowledge; you know that I am fond of you. Yeshuah said to him: Feed my sheep. |
