Footnotes:

21:1-14 - Jesus appears to the disciples by the sea and performs the miracle of the miraculous catch of fish. This episode reflects the continuity of Christ's mission and the call for the Church to be fishers of men, bringing souls into the Kingdom of God (see also Luke 5:4-10 and Matthew 4:19).

21:15-17 - Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves Him, restoring him after his denial. This dialogue highlights the importance of repentance and restoration in the Christian life. Jesus commissions Peter to shepherd His sheep, symbolizing the pastoral care of the Church (see also Matthew 16:18-19 and 1 Peter 5:2-3).

21:18-19 - Jesus predicts Peter's martyrdom, showing that following Him involves suffering for Him. Faithfulness to Christ may require sacrifice, but it is accompanied by the promise of eternal glory (see also Matthew 16:24 and Philippians 3:10).

21:20-23 - Peter questions John's future, and Jesus instructs him to focus on his own mission. This episode reminds us that comparing ourselves to others should not be the focus of the Christian life; each person has a unique and personal calling from God (see also 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and Galatians 6:4-5).

21:24-25 - The evangelist John affirms the truthfulness of his testimony and concludes that there is much more to be said about Jesus' actions. The chapter highlights the immeasurable depth of Christ's life and teaching, which transcends human records (see also 1 John 1:1-3 and Acts 10:39).

Verses related to São João, 21:

John chapter 21 reports the post-resurrection epilogue. How does Jesus restore and commission Peter? This touching text describes the miraculous catch of fish, the meal on the beach and Jesus' dialogue with Peter. The chapter addresses topics such as restoring grace, the call to discipleship and the future of the church. John 21 concludes the gospel with a personal invitation to follow Christ. Reflect with us on five biblical passages that broaden the understanding of this final and inspiring chapter.

Luke 5:4-6: "When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon: 'Go to where the water is deeper', and to everyone: 'Let down your nets for fishing'. Simon replied: 'Master, we tried hard all night and didn't catch anything. But, because you're the one saying that, I'm going to let the nets go'. When they did, they caught such a quantity of fish that the nets began to tear." - This miracle of abundant fishing is similar to that narrated in John 21:1-6, connecting the pre- and post-resurrection ministry of Jesus.

Mark 16:7: "But go and say to his disciples and to Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you.'" - This passage anticipates Jesus' encounter with the disciples in Galilee, which is described in John 21.

1 Peter 5:2-3: "Shepherd the flock of God that is in your care. Look after him, not out of obligation, but of your own free will, as God wants. Do not do this out of greed, but with the desire to serve. Do not act as domineering over those entrusted to you, but as examples for the flock." - This advice from Peter reflects the commission Jesus gives him in John 21:15-17 to "feed his sheep."

2 Peter 1:14: "For I know that I will soon leave this mortal body, as our Lord Jesus Christ has already revealed to me." - Peter references Jesus' prediction of his death, which is recorded in John 21:18-19.

Revelation 22:20: "He who bears witness to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon!' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" - This verse echoes the theme of Christ's return, mentioned in the final dialogue between Jesus and Peter in John 21:22-23.
