While still on the beach, having just given the disciples a lesson on still needed Jesus to do evangelism, the Lord restores Peter. For each shameful denial of Christ Jesus obliterates them with three restoring questions of love for Peter. And in doing so, Christ shows us the other aspect of the mission He is passing on to the church entails shepherding the flock (caring for the fish) that are gathered (or caught). The Son of God then reveals just as Peter said, He "knows all things" and therefore knows the time and way we die. After Peter fulfills the calling on his life for evangelism and shepherding, his hands will be stretched out in crucifixion, dying a martyr's death. Peter then takes his focus off of Christ and compares himself to John, the beloved disciple. The Lord rebukes him and shows that in all our individual callings from God we shouldn't compare but keep focused on the Lord, His Word, His ways, and His promises. John will remain until he writes the Revelation and sees the page turn on the Old Covenant and open to the New. Finishing up, John writes that all of this is true and ends where he started: with the glory and majesty of Jesus Christ.
