Ch. 122 Sea appearance

Time per John sole narrator not specified: except that it was after the last mentioned appearance

Place, the shore of the sea of Tiberias

Though by Synopsis placed before this is here placed after the appearance on the mountain at Galilee: […?] this was the place he had appeared.

Nathanael of Cana in Galilee. By this meant probably the man in whom there was no guile supra Ch ||. but whose name is not among the 12 in any one of the 3 lists

{The disciples knew not that it was Jesus} Why this incognoscibility thus repeated? Answer – to inculcate the proponents to belief without evidence.

{He said unto them cast the net &c.} They take him for a stranger: and yet they impute to him the same miraculous knowledge of the fishing trade the manifestation of which was as per Ch || one of the miracles[?] of Jesus!

{a little ship} A boat is in this history always called a ship.

{That disciple whom Jesus loved}. This of chief proves that he was John Zebedee.

{They saw a fire of coals &c.} Pic-nic dinner Jesus found fewel and bread: the disciples fish

{This is now the third time} By this any greater number is negatived: in direct contradiction to the other Evangelists. He speaks of but one of those of which they any of them speak. He knew not of, or would not confirm these stories.

{Jesus said to Simon Feed my lambs &c} This together with the power to forgive sins, the inculcation of credulity &c seems literally conclusive evidence that Johns Gospel was a recent fabrication of the Church of Rome

{By what death Peter should glorify God} Another token as above

{Disciple whom Jesus loved} again

{Tarry till I come} In the forgery was this inserted, in order (by the circumstance of Johns great age of which the […?] remained) to confirm the assertion thus contained in it of his being the author?

{We know that his testimony is true} i.e. I know that this &c

{The world would not contain the books &c} Common hyperbole.

    John XXI. 1. to 7. After these things

    After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

    There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the Sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

    Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

    But when the morning was now come Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

    Then Jesus saith unto them, Children have yes any meat? They answered him No.

    And he saith 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.

    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 fishers coat unto him (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea.

    John XXI. 20 to 24. Then Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper; and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

    [Greek to be supplied]

    Peter seeing him saith to Jesus Lord, and what shall this man do?

    Jesus saith unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come? what is that to thee? follow thou me.

    Then went this saying abroad amongst the brethren that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die: but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what {is that} to thee?

    This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

    Mark XIV. 46. ‘And they’ (Judas with his multitude) had their hands on him and took him. 47. And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.’ v. 50. ‘And they all forsook him and fled. v. 51. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body, and the young man laid hold on him. 52. And he left the linen cloth and fled from him naked.’

    Ch. 23* John […?]

    Time per John sole narrator: between the talk with Nicodemus, & that with Samaritana

    Place. Judæa? Ænon near Salim John III. 23.

    In Ch. III 33 {no man receiveth his testimony} only John who thereupon gives him his (Johns) v. 33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true!

    Thus continues the history of the connection between John and Jesus and comes before the story of John’s baptizing Jesus as per Ch. I I and that of John’s sending his disciple to Jesus as per Ch. 24. It is after this viz. when John is already in prison that John is represented as doubting whether Jesus is the Messiah /Christ/, and sending his disciples to see and report. John takes no notice of the near relationship which according to Luke alone subsisted between John & Jesus: and the concert between their Mothers.

    Ch. 23

    * John declares to the Jews that Jesus is his superior, and is the Christ that as yet nobody believes in him but he (John) but that sooner or later Jesus will increase while John decreases – Accordingly after this Jesus’s disciples baptize more than Johns do.
