When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.

Good morning. So Peter swam to the shore. But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about 100 yards away, dragging the net full of fish. So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. Have you ever thought about this scene? When it says charcoal fire, it does not mean Kingsford charcoal. It is just wood that has burned down to coals. OK, so it is easy to believe that Jesus gathered some wood for a fire; but where did He get the fire? There are numerous instances in the Old Testament where an angel produced fire; so it is not improbable that Jesus did the same thing. What about the fish? You can envision Jesus walking to the edge of the water and saying, here fishy fishy fishy; and they swam to the shore. But the real question is, where did the bread come from? Yes, Jesus did multiply bread twice; but He had something to work with – where did He get the bread to work with this time? Did He produce it out of thin air? Or did He first go to a nearby town and obtain a “loaf” of bread which He then multiplied? Jesus said to them, bring some of the fish which you have caught. Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. It is not surprising that Peter was the one to do that. The fact that John mentioned the net not being torn meant that it was unheard of, and hence a miracle. Also remember that it said that it was a little boat; so it would not have had a large, strong net in the boat. Father thank You that You provide our daily needs - which is a miracle in itself. Provide all of the reader and his/her family’s daily needs.
