Day 2

Jesus had risen and shown Himself to the disciples twice in the room where they had stayed during the three days that Jesus’ body was in the tomb. As God led John to write, we now read in John 21:1–3, After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter...

Peter and some of the other disciples, including John, had fished all night and now the day was breaking. God had John record in John 21:4–8, But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, ...

After Jesus told Peter, “Follow Me,” God had John record this in John 21:20–23, Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had...
