And if you do C what I see, what does it mean?
I've always found the following scriptures puzzling:John21:1-14
Becuz Jesus was now here risen from the dead and this group He visits (Peter, Thomas, Nathanel, the sons of Zebedee and 2 other disciples) this is the 3rd group of people he has shown himself to.
The word says that he called to them from the shore to come and dine with him, and they did, and that not one of them asked him, "who art thou"- knowing it was the Lord!
So I picture them all in awe, too dumbstruck for words, here's Jesus who was hung up on the cross for hours, after being severely whipped and beaten, who they also knew had been pierced thru the side with a spear, and blood AND water came out-signfying the spear had pierced his heart..then put in a tomb...so you tottally know they were like waiting! For what He would say...you probably coulda heard a pin drop..anyone else see this?
What does he do? he sits and eats!
While they wait bigeyed. hmmmm .why?

1. Was his sense of humour at work?
2. Perhaps he was testing them.
3. Perhaps in order to heighten the impact of what he would say to them.
- perhaps you have some ideas? I would be happy to read them (email me, if you do have ideas on this).

Well, you can read what you want. I believe the Bible to be true, but in the detail you speak of, no one knows. Hence "So I picture them all in awe, too dumbstruck for words"
So, let's not assume what they were thinking or feeling and understand the underlying message of the word in context.

I've always heard the rumor that while Jesus was in the grave for 3 days he sort of did a herculese thing. He went down to Lucifer and stole the "keys of death", because up until then every soul (unless it was perfect) went to hell.
Maybe he was just tired from all that supernaturaly workin' and needed some grubs.

At first they did not recognize him to be Jesus resurrected...because Jesus had to materialize in a human body so he could eat with them. When he asked Peter feed my sheep or lambs then Peter new it was Jesus. Mary Magdalene did not recognize Jesus resurrected, she thought he was the Gardner until he spoke to her.
Peace.....

The last guy who answered you, Donald, he's wrong, they did know it was him, I read the verses you listed and it says-they knew it was him-and I think he was just hungry.

What would you think seeing someone that had been dead? I imagine they were scared to death. They knew it was him but were afraid to show their lack of faith by asking him.

He just needs his space.
