1a. Context: John 21:1-19




Commentators agree that John 20:30-31 is the

conclusion of the gospel, and they follow with much

discussion as to the nature and purpose of John 21. Was

it added by an earlier editor, even before "publication"?

Does it include other Johannine material whch was

considered too important to overlook? Is it added in

order to emphasize specific theological themes? The

Galilee fishing scene, with the disciples not recognizing

the risen Lord (21:4,12) does not harmonize with the

Jerusalem appearances. After their commissioning, why are

these seven disciples (21:2) fishing?


The conclusion (21:24-25) seems to be a clumsy

restatement of 20:30-31. Should we read and interpret

this story as a realistic account or is the author "more

concerned with a chiaroscuro, an interplay of black and

white, in which what is real and what is symbolic is not

distinguished for us"? (E. Haenchen, p. 230).


The relationship of Jesus to Simon

Peter and to "the disciple whom Jesus loved," and their

relationship to one another, seems to be the focus of the

chapter. Brown calls this chapter, "An added account of a

post-resurrectional appearance of Jesus in Galilee which

is used to show how Jesus provided for the needs of the

Church." (p. 1063) It is an "ecclesiastical chapter"

(Brown, p. 1082).


It may or may not have been written by the hand of

the Fourth Evangelist, but it has always been an integral

part of the Fourth Gospel, important to the church and its

scriptural canon. "We thus have before us a literary

composite, which, however, stands in the service of a

thoroughly thought through theological composition."

(Haenchen, p. 230)


1b. Text: John 21:1-19

ESV:


Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

21:1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards [1] off.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus and Peter

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend 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 me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

2. ANALYSIS: John 21:1-19




Jn. 21:1 - "After this" (meta tauta) is a

transitional phrase which does not connnect up with what

precedes. That this is understood to be Jesus' third

post-resurrection appearance (vs. 14) would necessitate

discounting one of the previous three

(20:11-18,19-23,26-29). Does the writer exclude the

appearance to Mary Magdalene, perhaps because she is not

"one of the twelve," and besides, a woman?!



The verb phanero, here and in vs. 14 translated

"reveal" (see also 1:31), elsewhere in John is translated

"manifest" or "make manifest" (2:11;9:3;17:6), "show"

(7:4), and "seen" (3:21). It has the meaning of

emergence from obscurity, and for John it means a concrete

revelation fo the heavenly upon earth (Brown, p. 1067).

This theme is evident as the verb is used in 1 John 1:2

and 4:9. The mission of Christ is assumed in this

word--"that he might be revealed to Israel" (1:31). "And

so the task of the Baptist proclaimed in the first chapter

of the Gospel has been brought to completion in the last;

Jesus has been fully revealed to Israel, that is, to the

community of believers represented by the disciples"

(Brown, p. 1096).



Jn. 21:2 - Disciples previously featured in John's gospel

make their final appearance, plus two that are unnamed.

Is "the disciple whom Jesus loved" one of the "two others"

or one of the "sons of Zebedee" who appear here for the

first and last time in John's gospel? Those who argue

that John (one of the sons of Zebedee, brother to James)

is "the disciple whom Jesus loved," perhaps grasping at

straws, suggest that the evangelist reveals the incognito

in this passage with the phrase oi tou Zebedaiou.



Jn. 21:3 - That Peter could even imagine handling both the

boat and the drag-net by himself ("I am going fishing")

suggests that the gospel writer is using fishing as a

metaphor. Nevertheless, Peter, even with the help of

others, "caught nothing."


Jn. 21:4 - That Jesus is unrecognized is reminiscent of

Luke 24:16 and the whole passage Luke 24:13-35, bringing

to mind the story of eating in Luke 24:41-43 and of course

the fishing story in Luke 5:1-11.


Jn. 21:5 - "Children, you haven't caught anything to eat,

have you? (mei ti prosphagion echete)...It's interesting

that the disciples are addressed as paidia (cf. 1 Jn.

2:13,18). The word translated in RSV as "fish" is

prosphagion which was actually a relish eaten with bread,

or anything generally eaten with other food.



Since fish usually was the dominant ingredient in this

relish, it came to have the meaning of fish, opsarion (vs.

9,10,13), diminutive of opson which means most any kind of

meat. That the disciples have toiled but netted no fish

reminds us that in the gospels the disciples--regardless

of the number of fishermen Peter brings along--never catch

any fish without Jesus' help!


Jn. 21:6 - Here and in vs. 8 & 11, the word for "fish" is

ichthus. These verses focus not on the meal but on the

catch of fish. The "right" side is the auspicious side

(cf. Mt. 25:33), the favorable or fortunate side.



Jn. 21:7 - Perhaps because of the great catch of fish, the

"beloved disciple" recognizes Jesus and tells Peter, "It

is the Lord." Is this the disciple who "opened the door"

for Peter at the court of the high priest (18:15-16)? Now

again he provides access to the Lord for Peter (cf.

13:23-26). And again "the disciple whom Jesus loved" is

not as quick to respond perhaps but quicker tobelieve (cf.



20:8). Simon Peter does respond, "tucking in" or

"cincturing" (cf. Brown, p. 1072 for discussion of

diazonnumi) his loose outer garment (ependuteis). Perhaps

the diazonnumi of verse 7 refers forward to zonnumi

("gird") in verse 18.



21:9 - We switch scenes, not only to land, but to a new

focus, perhaps with eyes and ears open for the symbolic,

the metaphorical, the parabolic. The charcoal fire

(anthrakia) here and in 18:18 reminds us of Peter's denial

in the court of the high priest (18:17, 25-27). This is

also important for 21:15-17. Here, and in verses 10 and

13, where the word for "fish" is opsarion, the story-focus

is on the meal rather than on the catch.



21:11 - We again focus on the catch. The verb, elko,

translated "haul" and used here and in verse 6, is the

verb used by John in 6:44 and 12:32, where it is

translated "draw." "I, when I am lifted up from the

earth, will draw all men to myself" (12:32).



Also, look for background in LXX of Jeremiah 38:3

(MT,31:3) where God says of Israel, "I have drawn you with

kindness." The word is used kerygmatically and so the

catch of fish is a parable of the church's mission (cf.

Luke 5:10;Mt. 4:19; Mark 1:17). That Peter hauls the net

of large fish ashore by himself is not meant to suggest a

tremendous physical feat, but Peter's leadership role in

the apostolic ministry. The number "153" is obviously

symbolic, but it is not clear exactly what the author had

in mind. It is clear that the catch is large (cf. Luke

5:6-9) as are the fish (21:11). The allegorical

interpretation by Jerome, drawing on Oppianus Cilix and

early zoology asserts that "153" represents the number of

known species of fish, a symbol for all nations and

peoples. Augustine, like many others, tried his hand at

numerological interpretation, but also confessed it a

"mystery."



I prefer the species interpretation which may fulfill

Ezekiel 47:10 (cf. Matthew 13:47). "153" symbolizes the

all-embracing character of Christian mission, anticipating

the fulness of the Church. Yet "the net was not torn"

(schizo). Whereas Jesus' earthly ministry caused

divided response or schism (7:43;9:16;10:19), the

apostolic community and its mission and ministry are

united in response, one and seamless (19:23). Though many

in number and kind, in Christ we are gathered together and

made one (cf. 6:12-13;10:16;11:52;17:11,20-23).



Jn. 21:12 - Jesus invites the disciples to the meal,

establishing fellowship with them, a fellowship which was

never broken , despite the cross, their forsaking him and

their doubt. There is some confusionk, not only with the

disciples, but with the story. Why should none dare ask

him, "Who are you?" if they already "knew it was the

Lord?" Some suggest that their recognition of the Lord

should follow verse 13 (cf. Luke 24:31).




Jn. 21:13 - According to Hooker (p. 205), bread and fish

were eucharistic symbols in the early church. Recall that

John presented bread and fish in his eucharistic scene in

chapter 6, the feeding of the 5,000. [ See 6:11; also

Luke 24:30,41-42; Acts 1:4, 10:41]. The meal is

kerygmatic.




3. STRATEGY: John 12:1-14


There are two principal themes according to McPolin's

JOHN (p. 225): apostolic mission and eucharistic presence.

Both themes "wrestle with questions confronting the post-

Easter Christian community...Where is the promised

accomplishing of greater works (14:12)?


Where are answers to prayer (14:13) and the experience

of the love of God (14:23)? Where is the gift of

'life in his name' (20:31)? Where is he himself in these

days of the church?" (Smith, p. 177).



Within the story of the miraculous catch of fish, with the

theme of apostolic mission, are other concerns:




DISCIPLESHIP IS OBEDIENCE--"Believing is Obeying" –

The disciples are not certain that it is Jesus, yet upon his

word they act. It's risky business, faith, but we throw

forth our nets because the Lord commands, although the

catch is not a guarantee. Nevertheless, whatever success

may come is only with the help of Jesus, when we act upon

his command. This theme continues on through the meal

and through Jesus' conversation with Peter.

[Note that the Common Lectionary also utilizes 15-19. It

seems to me that verses 15-19 are fair game for

the preacher, especially since only verses 15-17 are

include in some lectionaries, and then only for Pastors

and Bishops. 21:20-25 is reserved the day of Saint John. ]





We are also nourished at our Lord's invitation, in

obedience to his words....Come and Eat, Take and Eat, Do

This in Remembrance of Me. In trust and obedience the

meal becomes the Lord's--the Lord's Breakfast, the Lord's

Supper. And from the nourishment we are again sent in

mission: Feed My Lambs, Tend my Sheep, Feed my Sheep,

Follow Me. Dietrich Bonhoeffer notes that "On two

separate occasions Peter received the call, 'Follow me.' It

was the first and last word Jesus spoke to his disciple


(Mark 1:17; John 21:22). A whole life lies between these

two calls" (COST OF DISCIPLESHIP, p. 48).



Our Christian discipleship is done with INTENTION,

in obedient response to our Lord (cf. 15:9-11). The arena

of our responsive obedience is in the everyday, including

the workaday world and times of table fellowship.




Discipleship is also DRAWING people to Jesus. It is

the "come and see" of Philip (1:46). We are drawn to the

cross (12:32), to the risen Lord and we are all drawn

together. Discipleship is WORKING TOGETHER IN UNITY, not

tearing the net. We are the Church when we work together

in common mission. In the Lord's mission we find unity

and community. There is a time and a place for arguing

dogma and doctrine, but our commitment to a common

mission must always override. The image of the net not

torn calls us to unity.

The image of fishing is also our GREAT COMMISSION

(cf. Matthew 28:18-20). Fishing is the metaphor for

teaching. It is also a vocation and a way of making a

living. People are "caught" by our way of living--by

what we do more than by what we say.


And within the lakeside meal, the breakfast barbeque,

is the eucharistic presence of our Lord. It is the Lord's

meal, prepared by himl, and in this meal our resurrected

Lord is with us "to the close of the age." The eucharist

is not a somber memorial meal for the crucified Jesus, or

the last meal of one about to be executed, but a

celebration of our Lord's resurrected presence in our

midst, sharing himself with the whole church and sending

us forth as missionaries into the everyday world. The

eucharist both nurtures and commissions the community of

faith.


We may compare this meal to the feeding of 5,000 in

John 6 as we proclaim the sacrament through word. What

was previously recorded by John seems now like a promise

fulfilled: "I am the bread of life...I am the living

bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this

bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall

give for the life of the world is my flesh" (6:48,51).

5. MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: John 21:1-14



The traditional hymn THEY CAST THEIR NETS IN

GALILEE (HB 661, LBW 449) is especially suitable for this

day and lends itself to accompaniment (e.g., guitar,

dulcimer, flute,etc.). Other recommended hymns are:


LOOK, NOW HE STANDS! (LBW 152)

NOW ALL THE VAULT OF HEAV'N RESOUNDS (ELW 367, LBW 143)

O BREAD OF LIFE FROM HEAVEN (ELW 480, LBW 222)

O JESUS, JOY OF LOVING HEARTS (ELW 658, HB 649/650, LBW 356)

O LIVING BREAD FROM HEAVEN (ELW 542, LBW 197)

PRAISE AND THANKS AND ADORATION (ELW 783, LBW 470)

WHERE CHARITY AND LOVE PREVAIL (ELW 359, HB 581, LBW 126)

WITH HIGH DELIGHT LET US UNITE (ELW 368, LBW 140)



If the text is carried on through to 21:25, the hymn BY ALL

YOUR SAINTS STILL STRIVING (HB 231/2, LBW 177:

Vs. 6,8,10) maybe suitable insome liturgical settings.
