John Ch 21 ,V 1-19 . Apart from the obvious narrative , what is happening here ? Firstly Jesus gives Peter the opportunity to make up for his three fold denial of him by asking him 3 times "lovest though me " . Secondly Jesus is telling Peter and the other disciples with him , this fishing isn't your job any more "feed my sheep " , that's Peters new job , and thirdly Jesus is showing Peter and the others that they don't need to worry about providing for themselves and their families , if they have them , Jesus will provide , he will feed them . I have found that very often in scripture there is a lot more going on than that which is at first apparent .
