The Size Of The Catch

Text: John 21: 11 - 12

THE SIZE OF THE CATCH

The size of the catch was remembered and detailed in this heart-warming story. There were precious lessons to be learned.

“Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and eat breakfast.’ Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, ‘Who are You?’ – knowing that it was the Lord.”

John 21:11-12

1. “Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land”

a. Peter had wanted to swim to the shore to greet the Lord.

b. But he ended up helping his fellow-fishermen to haul in the fish.

i. They may have asked him to help.

ii. He must have seen and understood the need to help bring in the huge catch.

2. “Full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken”

a. This was a significant catch.

b. Thus, two details were noted:

i. The fish were large.

ii. There were one hundred and fifty-three of them.

c. That the net did not break was also not insignificant.

i. This too was part of the grace and blessing they experienced.

ii. These details were not lost on the fishermen.

3. “Jesus said to them, ‘Come and eat breakfast’”

a. These were kind and gentle words.

b. Jesus knew they were hungry and tired.

c. A hot breakfast would be very welcome indeed.

d. This would be even more significant because the Lord Jesus Himself had prepared the breakfast.

4. “Yet none of the disciples dared to ask Him, ‘Who are You?’- knowing that it was the Lord”

a. There was a bit of embarrassing awkwardness.

b. The disciples knew that it was the Lord but they did not know how to respond to Him appropriately.

经文：约翰福音 21：11-12

捕鱼量

这个温馨的故事中记录并详细描写了捕鱼量。当中含有许多必须学习的宝贵教训。

“西门彼得就去，把网拉到岸上。那网满了大鱼，共一百五十三条。鱼虽这样多，网却没有破。 耶稣说：‘你们来吃早饭。’门徒中没有一个敢问他‘你是谁？’，因为知道是主。”

《约翰福音 21：11-12》

1. “西门彼得就去，把网拉到岸上”

a. 彼得本想游到岸上问主安

b. 但是，他最终帮助他的渔夫同伴们把满了鱼的网拉上来

i. 他们可能要求他帮忙

ii. 他一定看到了并理解必须帮忙拉上那满了大鱼的网

2. “那网满了大鱼，共一百五十三条。鱼虽这样多，网却没有破”

a. 这是一个富重大性的捕获

b. 因此，经文中记录了两个细节：

i. 鱼很大

ii. 共一百五十三条

c. 网却没有破也是不可忽视的

i. 这也是他们所经历的恩典和祝福的一部分

ii. 这些细节渔夫们都没有忽视

3. “耶稣说：‘你们来吃早饭。’”

a. 这些是恩慈及温和的话语

b. 耶稣知道他们又饿又累

c. 此刻，热呼呼的早饭的确是非常令人渴慕的

d. 这将更加重大，因为主耶稣亲自准备了这早饭

4. “门徒中没有一个敢问他‘你是谁？’，因为知道是主。”

a. 其中出现了点尴尬场面

b. 门徒们认识到祂是主，但不知道如何适当地对祂作出反应
