Yep...very expressive poem.
But not as expressive as Peter could be when the mood came upon him. The bible doesn't say whether Peter always went fishing in the nude. But apparently he was somewhat embarrassed to be caught by the Lord. I wonder why Peter fished in the nude? I suppose that fishing with a bunch of men day after day can get pretty boring, especially when not catching any...
JOHN
21:5
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
21:6
And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
21:7
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
21:8
And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
21:9
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. |
