☀️ 1 - Do we begin again having to prove ourselves? (To those criticizing him and his teaching/message.) Do we need now, as some do, letters of recommendation?

     2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation! Written on our hearts to be known and read by all. 3 And you show that you’re a letter from Christ, written not with ink but with the Spirit {Presence} of the living God. Not on tablets of stone, but upon human hearts. 4 And such is the confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we’re sufficient in ourselves! As if anything is coming from us! No, our sufficiency is from God. 6 He has enabled us to be servants/attendants of a new covenant, one not of the letter. {Not of rules and “earning”, but you know how human nature loves rules.. usually for others.} It instead, is of the Spirit. For the letter kills. {Fails, utterly, aka hopeless, imperfect/the law of entropy doesn’t reverse course, what it is, ultimately, to be “under” this law, of “sin and death” / of “hamartia - missing the mark” and entropy/death.} But the Spirit GIVES life. {Highest Law.}

     7 Now, if the ministry (or covenant) {revelation} of death, carved in letters upon stone {stony hearts} came with such radiance that the Israelite tribes couldn’t look upon Moses' face because of its brightness, and (all the while) it was intended to be temporary, 8 won’t the ministry and covenant {and revelation} of the Spirit have even more glory and radiance? {It being then, since GIVEN, is a promise, dependent upon God who is perfect. And is a ‘legal’ binding Promise. From God who is “almighty”/ all powerful.} 9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation {explaining the law and the ‘charge’ - like, if you jump off this tall building you will hit the ground with a thump} how much more, the ministry of righteousness must fAr exceed it in glory! {And power and might. Radiance.}

     10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to not have glory after all, because of the glory that surpasses it. {Was one side of the story. “The day that you take of it you shall surely die my children” - God is Life, and “is perfect”, Mt.5:48. No option to stray in Eden would be an Ant Farm? But to stray is to be imperfect… thus this one and done imperfection/entropy, a slow gehenna “not put out.. a worm that doesn’t quit”. And therefore “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. Having “subjected all” to this, Ro.11:32. Christ Crucified is strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and convince eveRy psyche, and he has been made king of kings and lord of lords forever - of all, and of all things. Father and Son, the only straight out from God one.. The First/Proto (and prototype?) are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. The same as will saturate and “seal” angel, man and all creation. Instead of Ant Farm, the dis-ease as part of the cure.. which leads to?} 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, how much more glory - shall what is permanent - have!

☀️ {These verses include a summary of God’s attitude about Earth?} 46 - And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD. 47 My spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For he has looked upon his humble maiden. And now all generations will call me blessed. 49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me! And holy is his name! 50 His mercy is for all who revere him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm! He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts! 52 He has brought down the mighty from their thrones! And has exalted the humble. 53 Those hungering he has filled. But the proud he has sent away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel” {macro, humanity} “in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he told our fathers, Abraham and his descendants after him.” 56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months, and then she returned home. [Shortly before John the Baptist (a cousin to Jesus?) was born to Elizabeth, who was older and was a “kinswoman” to Mary.]

     13 It {a two horned office} performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven/sky, to earth in the sight of, and presence of mankind. {This fiery event pinpoints/ed an office, not yet an individual.}

     14 - And by the signs [sémeion - a sign, miracle, indication, mark, token {of the future?}] this (smaller) beast (two horned) is allowed to work in sight of the beast {in sight of the larger, many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution that rose from the sea of humanity.. and like $ity of Babble is on all seven hills/continents}. It deceives those who dwell upon earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword {had expired} and yet {now} lived again. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, small and great, rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so no one may buy or sell unless they have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name {logically, reverse order}. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of man (the word “a” was inserted at translation) and the number is 666. (..? Man is carbon based, and carbon has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. Strongly? suggesting apocalypse is all done by man. For we have ‘his’ number - an idiom - “I’ve got your number” means understanding someone so well you can predict their actions, or know someone’s true nature and intentions.)

☀️ 10 - Anyone you forgive, I forgive also! As a matter of fact, if I’ve forgiven anything, it’s been in Jesus, and for your sake. 11 This is so we would not be outwitted by Satan, for we’re not uninformed of his tricks and designs.

     12 When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord, 13 my spirit was not at rest because I didn’t find my brother Titus there. So I left and went on to Macedonia.

     14 And thanks be to God, who - in Christ - always leads us in triumphal procession {Rev.6:2🗝️} and then through us, spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved, and among those who are {still} perishing. 16 To one a fragrance of death to death {ruin to ruin, failure to failure, natural entropy} to the other, a fragrance of life to life. {The “kingdom” and the sense of life to come.. Which is always coming, but currently we are old wine skins.}

     Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we’re not, like so many, peddlers {making a profit} of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God. And in the sight of [katenanti - before, in the presence of] God, our speaking is in Christ.

And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit {with the Presence of God} 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “How blessed you are among all women! And how blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me?! That the mother of my Lord should visit me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy! 45 How blessed is she who believes, who believes there will be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the LORD.”

ACTS 11 1-30

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - The apostles and brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party (Hebrew believers) criticized him, saying, 3 “You went to the uncircumcised and ate with them!” [Israel was strictly separated from others, for one thing, in order to birth Messiah, the “savior of the world” into a comparatively prepared nation.]

    4 But Peter began to explain to them what had happened, 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance [ekstasis - a displacement of the mind, state of ecstasy] and I saw a vision. There was something like a great sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. It came down to me 6 and looking at it closely, I saw animals and beasts of prey, reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’

     9 But the voice answered a second time from above saying, ‘Don’t call common, what God has polished(?).’ [Katharos.] 10 And this happened three times. And then “all” [hápas - from háma - all together, and pás - each, every – thus each and every one as a comprehensive unit] was drawn up again into heaven.

     11 And look! At that very moment three men arrived at the house, who were sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them. And to ask no questions and make no distinction. These six brothers as well, accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel coming into his house and the angel said, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’ [This was the “good news for all” beginning to earnestly go out to the nations {right on schedule} called gentiles, all who are not hebrew.] 15 And even as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) fell upon them. Just as it had upon us at the beginning [Acts 2]. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 So then, if God gave the same gift to them, as he gave to us - when we believed in the Lord Jesus - who was I that I should stand in God's way?” [An question for I.O? The Israel only doctrine.] 18 When the brothers heard these things they fell silent, and they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also, God has granted repentance that leads to Life.”

     19 Now in those days, those who were scattered because of the persecution that had risen after Stephen’s stoning, had traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the message to no one except to Jews/Hebrews. 20 But there were some, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who upon coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists (Greeks) also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

     23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was happy, and exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose. 24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul/Paul. 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church (the believers) and taught a great many people. And it was in Antioch that the followers [mathétés - learners, disciples, pupils] were first called Christians.

     27 It was at about this time, that prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the civilized world (and the famine took place in the days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the believers living in Judea. 30 And they did so, sending it to the elders there by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

☀️ 1 - I (Paul) didn’t want to make another painful visit. 2 For if I cause you (Corinthian believers/followers) pain, who then is there to make me happy but the one I pained? 3 And I wrote to you as I did, so when I’m there, I won’t have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy! And so all of you will have the same joy that I have. 4 For when I wrote to you, it was out of much affliction and anguish of heart, and even with tears. Not to cause you pain, but to let you know of the abundant love I have for you. {Corinth was a large “pagan” city with strong pagan habits.. like temple prostitutes or such. Persons as commodity?}

     5 Now if anyone has caused pain, they’ve caused it - not to me, except in some measure, and not to put it too severely - but to all of you! 6 Now for that one, the disapproval and censure by the majority is enough. {Had done its job, he had been sleeping with his father’s wife.} 7 So now you should forgive and comfort, or he may be harmed. 8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love and acceptance. 9 For this is why I wrote, to find out if you are able to stay {in the message} and walk in the way.

🌙 26 - Six months later, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And Gabriel came to her and said, “Greetings, oh favored one! The Lord is with you!” 29 But she was troubled at the saying, for she didn’t know what sort of greeting that might be. 30 And the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you’ve found favor with God. 31 And behold, you’ll conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom will never end.”

     34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I’ve never been with a man?” 35 And Gabriel answered, “The Holy Spirit {/Presence of God} will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and so the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And look! Your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with she who was called barren. 37 For nothing is impossible to God.

     38 And Mary said, “Behold, I’m the handmaiden of the Lord. Let it happen to me as you’ve said.” And then the angel left.

☀️ 15 - Being sure of all this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a second experience of such grace. 16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and then on my way back, and then have you send me on my way to Judea. 17 Did I seem fickle and uncertain when I planned to do this? Do I say “yes, yes” and “no, no” at the same time? 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been yes, and no. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silas, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, was not yes, and no, but in him it is always yes! 20 For - all the promises of God - find their yes in him. That is why it’s through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ. And who has anointed us, 22 and has put his seal upon us, having given us his Spirit{/Presence} in our hearts as a guarantee [arrabón - pledge, guarantee, down payment, deposit]. 23 With God as witness, it was to spare you, that I refrained from coming again to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over you and your faith, but we work with you - for your joy - that you may - stand firm - in faith. {Corinth was a large and central highly pagan practicing city.

🌙 [Luke was a Greek physician who met Paul, was known to travel with him, and wrote this gospel account and the Book of Acts ..acts of some of the earliest believers.]

     1 - Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning of it all were eyewitnesses, and then they were messengers of the word and message they delivered to us, 3 it seemed good to me to also - having followed all things closely for some time now - to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so you may have certainty concerning the things you’ve been taught.

     5 In the days of Herod (the Great) king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both were advanced in years.

     8 Now while he was serving as priest before God, on duty with his division, 9 according to the ways of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple and burn incense to the LORD.

     10 And all the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to Zechariah an angel of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And he was troubled and afraid when he saw him. 13 But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, but will be filled with the Holy Spirit {/Presence of the LORD} even from his mother's womb. 16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD their God, 17 and he will go forth in the presence of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [apeithés - disobedient, unbelieving] to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” {Prepared, 2Tim.3:16, Mt.25:1-13.}

     18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I’m an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel said, “I’m Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 But listen, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things happen, because you didn’t believe my words, but they will be fulfilled on time.” {To prevent his further speaking unbelief/negativity?} 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering what was taking him so long in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak, and they realized he had seen a vision. And he kept making signs to them for he was mute. 23 And when his time of service was over, he went home.

     24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself in isolation, saying, 25 “Thus has the Lord done for me in the days when he looked upon me to take away my reputation of being barren.”

We were so utterly burdened beyond our endurance that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt like we had received the sentence of death. But! That was to make us rely, not upon ourselves, but upon God, who raises the dead.

     10 He delivered us from deadly peril, and he will continue to deliver us. On him we have set our hope [elpizó - to hope, expect and trust] that he will deliver us again. 11 You also must help us by your prayers, so everyone will be thankful for the blessing granted to us because of their prayers.

Not with earthly, human wisdom, but with God’s {gracious} grace. And especially toward you. 13 There’s no hidden meaning in what I write and what you read.

     50 And he walked with them out as far as Bethany, and was blessing them 51 when he was carried up into heaven as they were watching. 52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually in the temple praising God.

     MARK 16:19 - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and he sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.

☀️ 15 - Now I mention to you, the household of Stephanas. They were the first converts in Achaia, and they’ve devoted theirselves to the service of the saints/believers/followers [hagios - sacred, set apart] {(ones) here believers/they are different}. 16 Listen to such as these, and to all fellow workers and laborers. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for our separation. 18 And they’ve refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Show recognition and appreciation to such ones.

     19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca {scriptural trivia - this is Priscilla, who later Paul begins to name first} together with the church that meets in their house, they send to you hearty greetings in the Lord! 20 And all the brothers with me send you greeting. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

     21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone {with us? actually} has no love for the Lord, they are accursed. Our Lord, come! [Only Truth shall endure/remain standing]. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

🌙 16 - The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go and wait for him. 17 When they saw him they worshipped, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven, and on earth, has been given to me. 19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 20 teaching them to observe all which I’ve instructed you. And listen, I’m with you always, until the completion of the age [aion - age, ages, course].”

☀️ 8 - I (Paul) plan to stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 for a wide door for effective work has opened, but there are many adversaries. 10 When Timothy comes, be sure to put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord along with me here. 11 So let no one disregard him (because of his youth). Help him on his way in peace, that he may return here to Ephesus, for I’m expecting him with the brothers.

     12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it wasn’t at all his will to come at this time. But he’ll come when he has opportunity.

     13 Be watchful! Stand firm in the faith! Be men, be strong! 14 And, let all that you do, be done in love.

     {Love, and we cannot be overly sensitive in this world. Nor concerning history. Beware division? Sowed and spurred on by “the accuser/slanderer”. Even of God himself, judging God’s actions and ways in the Old Testament. Pre flood was hands off? And think how bAd things can get. Imperfect is not only entropy, but it’s an abyss of potential. But death - more merciful! - to God is like transplanting as into an untilled garden awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment and discernment ‘day’ an “aionion kolasin” / eonian korrection / age of correction, Mt.25:46 - I think after initial inner conditions have run course (portrayed in the rich man & Lazarus parable, and in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22) many will thank God for not letting them do more evil! Later, yes, was the wanted total weeding out of the Canaanites - who in their rites would beat a drum to drown out the screams of babies, and children as they burned them alive to Baal-Molech  ..🤔 A name for the original gone rogue one? His dream. His fantasy after all has been that notorious fire.. first told in that so ancient and primordial spiritual propaganda myth.. And enchantment. …Do you know there’s a verse that talks about God winning when he is judged during his day in court? Ro.3:4. ..I’ve felt the moment.. one of universal utter and complete awe struck and profound silence. Then a wave, a crescendo of universal praise..}

🌙 16 - Jesus said to Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus said, “Guide my sheep.” 17 He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said, “Lord! You know everything! You know I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed. my. sheep.” {And don’t pollute God’s temples with bad and untrue doctrine, 1Cor.3:17.}

     18 “Truly, I tell you, when you were young, you always dressed yourself and you went wherever you wanted, but when you’re old, you’ll stretch out your hands, and another will bind you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 This he said to show by what kind of death he would die, but which would make God known. And after saying that, he said, “Follow me.” {Anyway. What else could/would he do?}

     20 Peter turned and saw Jesus’ favorite disciple following them (John referring to himself) the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and said, “Lord, who is it that’s going to betray you?” 21 When Peter noticed him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it’s my will he remain until I return {fully, and implying a span of time} what is that to you? You, follow me.” 23 So the saying spread abroad among the believers that this disciple was not going to die, yet Jesus didn’t say that he wasn’t going to die, but said, “If it’s my will he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

     24 This is the disciple who is testifying and bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know his testimony is true. {John saying he knows his testimony is true, and knows whereof he speaks.} 25 There also are many other things that Jesus did, but if every one of them were to be written, I suppose the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written.

     (The end of the book of John. But he also wrote 1, 2, and 3 John, and the account of the Revelation vision.)

BOOK OF REVELATION

9 - If anyone has an ear, let them hear. 10 If anyone into (or taking?) captivity, to captivity they go. if anyone with the sword slays (this is usually translated as, iS slain [apokteinó or apoktennó - to kill, slay] with the sword, must they {theirself} be slain. Here is a call for - the endurance and faith - of the saints/believers. {See Hebrews 11, not for the timid however.}

     11 Then I (John) saw another beast rising out of the earth. {A difference, the huge, many headed (geopolitical, on seven hills/continents, aka global, with $ity of Babble) beast, of verse 1, rose up out of the sea. (Of humanity.) These two are prominent in late days prophecy.}

     12 It {also ends up} exercising all the authority of the first beast - in its presence {the little beast, a modern, larger scope fulfillment of the “little horn” of Daniel’s prophecy which came out of a cluster of horns, and as it grew, it uprooted three of the other horns (powers, competing?) around it, Dn.7:8 and 8:9, Rev.12:14?} This one has two horns like a lamb but it {ends up?} speaking like a dragon, and will unlawfully step into the prime horn/seat of the huge many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution? A bit after the half point of a much praised treaty/league come about after a crises(?) which will consolidate powers. But which treaty, alas, will only last seven years. And it will be broken, in the middle, against Israel, by “taking away or removing” their “perpetual sacrifices” ..of prayers, etc, oR place of? (How it seems to me.) Dn.12:11-12 w/Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16.}

     This (smaller, second) beast makes the earth and its inhabitants worship {be in allegiance to?} the first (larger) beast, whose mortal wound was healed. {The last days version/fulfillment, of the larger beast, like yesteryear’s, was, was not, then was again.} 13 It {a two horned office} performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven/sky, to earth in the sight of, and presence of mankind. [Enópios - before, in the presence of, in front of.] {This fiery event pinpoints/ed an office, not (yet?) an individual.}

☀️ 1 - Now concerning the collection for the believers at Jerusalem (hard pressed because of a drought) as I said to the churches of Galatia, so you can do also. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you can put something aside and store it up, as each one determines, so there’s no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I’ll send those whom you choose with a letter, to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they’ll travel with me.

     5 I’ll visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia to you there in Greece, 6 and perhaps I’ll stay with you or even spend the winter, so you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I don’t want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. [Paul had spent a year and a half there discipling and teaching, and now it was a work they were doing together, of discipling and teaching, but the Corinthian believers had become a mix of attitudes, even teachings, as this letter of Paul’s has earlier gone into and addressed.]

☀️ 7 - Jesus’ favorite disciple (this is how John referred to himself, did his writings in old age) said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came to shore in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only by about a hundred yards.

     9 And when they got there, they saw a charcoal fire set, with fish on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught!” 11 So Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of 153 large fish, and although there were so many, the net didn’t tear. 12 Jesus said, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples said, “Who are you?” For they knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus gave them some bread and some fish. 14 This was now the third time he revealed himself to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than all this?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.”
