This is not a deep thought. It’s just something a mate pointed out to me – Jesus is hilarious, and he’s a bit of lad.
So after he’s risen from the dead, some of the disciples go out fishing, and they catch nothing all night. When it gets to morning Jesus is standing on the beach, but they don’t recognise him because they’re too far away.
Jesus shouts to them – “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” – apparently just to rub it in, because he knows they don’t anyway. They say “No.” They are not impressed with this joker.
So he tells them to put the nets over the other side and they catch loads of fish – 153 apparently. They realise it’s him and they go over to the beach as fast as they can – and when they get there, he’s just cotching, cooking up some breakfast. Including fish - cos he already had some anyway.
Possibly the only example in history of miraculous banter.
