Why 153 Fish in John 21:11 ? |

 |
|
| Luke 5:1-11 | |
| Scholars have suggested hundreds of possible meanings for John’s reference to “153 Fish.” These suggestions are often long and extremely speculative. How could the Apostle John have expected his readers to see any of those connections? The fact that John does not offer an explanation for the 153 fish highly suggests that his meaning would have been so obvious to the first century Greeks in Ephesus that no explanation was required. This web page examines all these suggestions. And, it explains how we can see a reasonable proof that there is only one answer that we know John’s readers would have recognized. | |
