The vision of the seven disciples

1 Later, Jesus showed himself to the disciples. It happened on the lake of Tiberias.
John 21: 1

2 Some disciples were gathered there. Now Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, were the sons of Zebedee, and two of his disciples.
John 21: 2

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. And the other disciples say unto him, We also go with thee. Then all the disciples went away and got into the boat. They tried hard to catch fish that night but could not.
John 21: 3

4 The next morning Jesus was standing on the shore, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
John 21: 4

5 Then said Jesus unto them, Friend, have ye caught fish? And they said, Nay.
John 21: 5

6 Jesus said to them, “Cast your nets into the water on the right side of the boat. You will find some fish there.” So the disciples did. They found fish there. As if the net had become too heavy and they were unable to pull it towards the boat.
John 21: 6

7 The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Peter heard him say, “He is the Lord.” He wrapped his clothes around himself and jumped into the water (before he had taken off his clothes while fishing).
John 21: 7

8 And the other disciples went in a boat to the land of the river, and drew nets full of fish. They were about a hundred yards from shore.
John 21: 8

9 When the disciples came up out of the water and came to the land, they saw a fire. There was a fish and some bread on it.
John 21: 9

10 Jesus said, “Bring the fish you just caught.”
John 21:10

11 Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net ashore. It was filled with one hundred and twenty-three large fish, although the fish were very heavy, but the net did not break.
John 21:11

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.” None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
John 21:12

13 Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. So he took the fish and gave it to them.
John 21:13

14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
John 21:14

The Son is higher than the angels

5 God did not say to any of his angels, “You are my Son, and today I am your father.” God never said to any angel, “I will be his father, and he will be my son.”
Hebrews 1: 5

6 And when he shall bring forth his firstborn son into the world, he saith, All the angels of God shall worship the Son.
Hebrews 1: 6

7 Concerning the angels, God said, “God makes his angels like the wind, and his servants like flames of fire.”
Hebrews 1: 7

8 But God said of his Son: “Your throne, O God, will be secure forever, and you will rule your kingdom with righteous judgment.
Hebrews 1: 8

9 Thou hast loved that which is right, and hated that which is wrong. Therefore, God, thy God, hath made thee happier than thy companions.
Hebrews 1: 9

10 This is what God says: “In the beginning you made the earth, and your hands made the sky.
Hebrews 1:10

11 These things shall pass away, but thou shalt remain.
Hebrews 1:11

12 Thou shalt fold them as a coat, and they shall be changed as a garment: but thou shalt not be changed, and thy life shall never end.
Hebrews 1:12

13 And God never said unto any of his angels, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Hebrews 1:13

14 All the angels who serve God are spirits, and they are sent to help those who are saved.
Hebrews 1:14

Last salute – prayer and blessing

11 Now, brothers and sisters, goodbye. Try to be perfect. Do what I tell you to do. Agree with one another and live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11

12 When you greet one another, give each other a holy kiss.
2 Corinthians 13:12

13 All the saints of God welcome you.
2 Corinthians 13:13

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14
