Chapter 21 of John's book is under speculation. Chapter 20
contains references found in other gospels. Our bible as stands today reports the
following personages in chapter 21:
Simon
Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[
href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+21&version=NIV#fen-NIV-26901b">b]),
Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of
Zebedee, and two other disciples were
together. (vs. 2)
These guys
were all out fishing. There was a man on the shore, Jesus.
Jesus told them to cast out their nets and they would be filled. Jesus further
instructed the men on being fishers of men and feeding his sheep. He specifically
instructed Simon Peter regarding sheep. References are made to
John (one of the two sons of Zebedee, the other is
James) as if John is a particular prize of Jesus' that he
might be saving for something special.
