… Peter, it is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he had taken it off and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, bring some of the fish that you have just caught. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, 153 of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, come and have breakfast. Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, who are you? Because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them and did the same with the fish. This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God. …
… and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw charcoal fire in place with fish laid on it and bread. Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish you have just caught. 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. 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. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? …

Now, what's interesting is another follower of Jesus, Luke, tells a similar story that played out one of the first times Peter met Jesus. And most every detail is the same except one. So in both stories, the guys are in a boat, they fish all night and they catch nothing. In both stories, Jesus says, try one more time. And in both stories, the nets come up full. But here's the difference. Let me show it to you. In the first story, Peter falls on his face and says to Jesus, get away from me. I'm a sinner and I can't be near you. But in this story, Peter straps on his clothes and turns into Michael Phelps, swimming, racing toward Jesus. Now we'll talk more in a minute about why his reaction was different this time. But for now, I just want to point out that Peter's response was intense both times. Neither time does Peter say, hmm, look at all those fish coming into the net. …
