John 21: 1-14 - 'Jesus stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 645 (in 'The Condition of Christ's risen humanity') - By means of touch and the sharing of a meal, the risen Jesus establishes direct contact with his disciples. He invites them in this way to recognize that he is not a ghost and above all to verify that the risen body in which he appears to them is the same body that had been tortured and crucified, for it still bears the traces of his Passion. Yet at the same time this authentic, real body possesses the new properties of a glorious body: not limited by space and time but able to be present how and when he wills; for Christ's humanity can no longer be confined to earth, and belongs henceforth only to the Father's divine realm. For this reason too the risen Jesus enjoys the sovereign freedom of appearing as he wishes: in the guise of a gardener or in other forms familiar to his disciples, precisely to awaken their faith.

- 448 (in 'Lord') - Very often in the Gospels people address Jesus as "Lord". This title testifies to the respect and trust of those who approach him for help and healing. At the prompting of the Holy Spirit, "Lord" expresses the recognition of the divine mystery of Jesus. In the encounter with the risen Jesus, this title becomes adoration: "My Lord and my God!" It thus takes on a connotation of love and affection that remains proper to the Christian tradition: "It is the Lord!"

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis from the Logical Bible Study Ministry.
0:19.7	Thank you for tuning in. This is the podcast where we look at
0:22.5	the mass reading for today, the gospel reading from today's Catholic Mass. And we want to pull it
0:28.1	apart a bit. What's the original author trying to communicate to the original audience?
0:34.0	Now, today's reading at Mass actually comes in a longer form and a shorter form.
0:39.2	So, depending on which one your parish or your priest chooses, it could either be John
0:44.7	chapter 21 versus 1 to 14, or it could go all the way to 1 to 9, from 1 to 19.
0:52.1	So 1 to 14 covers the appearance by the lake side after Jesus
0:57.9	resurrection and there's a whole lot of stuff that goes on there and then the following
1:01.8	verses if your parish includes it verses 15 to 19 is the exchange between Jesus and
1:07.3	Peter about do you love me and that is a whole study in it in and of itself so today
1:13.9	we're just going to focus on the short version verses 1 to 14 because there's a lot in here to
1:20.4	talk about and there's even more to talk about if we include verses 15 to 19 it will become a
1:26.0	very long episode but if you do want to hear an exegesis of
1:29.7	the interaction between Jesus and Peter in verses 15 to 19, you can hear that on Friday of the
1:37.7	seventh week of Easter tide. So towards the end of the Easter season, just before Pentecost, you can hear an analysis of that text.
1:48.2	Jesus showed himself again to the disciples.
1:51.7	It was by the Sea of Tiberius, and it happened like this.
1:56.6	Simon Peter, Thomas called the twin, Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,
2:03.6	and two more of his disciples were together.
2:07.0	Simon Peter said, I'm going fishing.
2:10.0	They replied, we'll come with you.
