John 21 recounts the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to seven of His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias. After a fruitless night of fishing, Jesus directs them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat, resulting in a miraculous catch of 153 fish. Recognizing Jesus, Peter jumps into the water to reach Him. Jesus then provides a breakfast of fish and bread, and after the meal, He asks Peter three times if he loves Him, mirroring Peter's three denials. Each affirmation prompts Jesus to instruct Peter to "feed My sheep," signifying Peter's restoration and commission to care for the church. The chapter concludes with a brief mention of the beloved disciple, John.
