John 21:11
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. (John 21:11)
Went up.
Peter responded in his characteristic impulsiveness.
Hundred and fifty and three.
The odd number indicates that the fish were actually counted. Some commentators have placed mystical and fanciful interpretations upon these numbers, such as that the “three” represents the Trinity. Such interpretations are not worthy of consideration.
