3. John 21
A Fishing Trip

4. Going to the Sea of Galilee
Matthew 28:10, 16 – go to Galilee “some were doubtful” even at Galilee Seven disciples were fishing
Details on the Sea of Tiberias (vs. 1), aka the Sea of Galilee (John 6:1). Although the area was called Galilee by most Jews, in 25 A.D. a city built on the western shore by Herod Antipas as the capital of Galilee and Peraea, was given the name Tiberias (Tiberius Caesar). Some transferred the name of the city to the sea as well. It is an unusual reference by a Jew to the Roman name. The region "is almost seven hundred feet below sea level and the summer heat is almost unbearable" (The Wycliffe Historical Geography of Bible Lands, p. 134). It was 75 miles north of Jerusalem

5. Going to the Sea of Galilee
Casting their nets Luke 5:1-11 This time the nets do not break Exactly 153 fish “It is the Lord!”
"The repetition of the miracle of the large catch of fish no doubt was a major key to John's recognition of Jesus" (The Expositor's Bible Commentary, vol. 9, p. 199). The last time this happened, the net broke, as thought it was unprepared to handle the haul. Now the time has come that they will be able to bring their haul in

6. Sitting by the Fire
The last time Peter had been by a charcoal fire: John 18:18, Peter denied Jesus three times Simon is questioned by Jesus three times
Joh 18:18 Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
Joh 18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not." 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, *said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?" 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

7. Sitting by the Fire
“Do you love me more than these?” "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away" Matthew 26:33
Who are “these”? Perhaps the other Apostles, whom Jesus

8. Sitting by the Fire “Do you love me more than these?” Luke 22:31-33
Lu 22:31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!"

12. Many Years Later……
I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder, knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me Peter 1:13-14

13. Many Years Later……
2 Peter 1:5-8 …. and in your godliness, brotherly kindness (PHILEO), and in your brotherly kindness, love (AGAPEO).

14. Applications Jesus knew Peter would stumble Return to your brethren
Serve your brethren (Feed My Sheep)
We may have affection for Jesus,
But we must learn to LOVE Him
