192:1.1 About six o'clock Friday morning, April 21, the [[morontia]] [[the Master|Master]] made his thirteenth [[appearance]], the first in [[Galilee]], to the ten [[apostles]] as their boat drew near the shore close to the usual landing place at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida].

192:1.2 After [[the apostles]] had spent the afternoon and early evening of Thursday in waiting at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee the Zebedee] [[home]], [[Simon Peter]] suggested that they go fishing. When [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[proposed]] the fishing trip, all of [[the apostles]] decided to go along. All night they toiled with the nets but caught no fish. They did not much mind the [[failure]] to make a catch, for they had many interesting [[experiences]] to talk over, things which had so recently happened to them at [[Jerusalem]]. But when daylight came, they [[decided]] to return to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida]. As they neared the shore, they saw someone on the beach, near the boat landing, standing by a [[fire]]. At first they thought it was [[John Mark]], who had come down to [[welcome]] them back with their catch, but as they drew nearer the shore, they saw they were mistaken—the man was too tall for [[John Mark|John]]. It had occurred to none of them that the [[person]] on the shore was [[the Master]]. They did not altogether [[understand]] why Jesus wanted to meet with them amidst the scenes of their earlier [[associations]] and out in the open in [[contact]] with [[nature]], far away from the shut-in [[environment]] of [[Jerusalem]] with its [[tragic]] [[associations]] of [[fear]], [[betrayal]], and [[death]]. He had told them that, if they would go into [[Galilee]], he would meet them there, and he was about to fulfill that [[promise]].

192:1.3 As they dropped anchor and prepared to enter the small boat for going ashore, the man on the beach called to them, " Lads, have you caught anything? " And when they answered, " No, " he [[spoke]] again. " Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find fish. " While they did not know it was [[Jesus]] who had directed them, with one accord they cast in the net as they had been instructed, and [[immediately]] it was filled, so much so that they were hardly able to draw it up. Now,[[ John Zebedee]] was quick of [[perception]], and when he saw the heavy-laden net, he [[perceived]] that it was [[the Master]] who had spoken to them. When this [[thought]] came into his mind, he leaned over and [[whispered]] to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], " It is [[the Master]]. " [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was ever a man of thoughtless [[action]] and impetuous [[devotion]]; so when [[John, the Apostle|John]] [[whispered]] this in his ear, he quickly arose and cast himself into the [[water]] that he might the sooner reach [[the Master]]'s side. His brethren came up close behind him, having come ashore in the small boat, hauling the net of fishes after them.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_21]

192:1.7 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] then joined his [[comrades]] as they hauled in the net. When they had landed their catch, they counted the fish, and there were 153 large ones. And again was the mistake made of calling this another [[miraculous]] catch of fish. There was no [[miracle]] [[connected]] with this [[episode]]. It was merely an [[exercise]] of [[the Master]]'s preknowledge. He knew the fish were there and accordingly directed [[the apostles]] where to cast the net.

192:1.8 [[Jesus]] [[spoke]] to them, saying: " Come now, all of you, to breakfast. Even [[the twins]] should sit down while I [[visit]] with you; [[John Mark]] will dress the fish. " [[John Mark]] brought seven good-sized fish, which [[the Master]] put on the [[fire]], and when they were cooked, the lad served them to the ten. Then [[Jesus]] broke the bread and handed it to [[John Mark|John]], who in turn served it to the [[hungry]] [[apostles]]. When they had all been served, [[Jesus]] bade [[John Mark]] sit down while he himself served the fish and the bread to the [[lad]]. And as they ate, [[Jesus]] [[visited]] with them and recounted their many [[experiences]] in [[Galilee]] and by this very [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee lake].

192:1.9 This was the third time [[Jesus]] had [[manifested]] himself to [[the apostles]] as a [[group]]. When [[Jesus]] first addressed them, asking if they had any fish, they did not [[suspect]] who he was because it was a common [[experience]] for these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fishermen] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee Sea of Galilee], when they came ashore, to be thus accosted by the fish [[merchants]] of [http://www.bible-history.com/geography/ancient-israel/taricheae.html Tarichea], who were usually on hand to buy the fresh catches for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_preservation drying establishments].

192:1.10 [[Jesus]] [[visited]] with the ten [[apostles]] and [[John Mark]] for more than an hour, and then he walked up and down the beach, talking with them [[two]] and two—but not the same couples he had at first sent out [[together]] to teach. All eleven of [[the apostles]] had come down from [[Jerusalem]] together, but [[Simon Zelotes]] grew more and more [[despondent]] as they drew near [[Galilee]], so that, when they reached [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida], he forsook his brethren and returned to his [[home]].

192:1.11 Before taking leave of them this [[morning]], [[Jesus]] directed that [[two]] of [[the apostles]] should [[volunteer]] to go to [[Simon Zelotes]] and bring him back that very day. And [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] did so.
