John 21:3-11 3”I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. 5He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the LORD!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the LORD,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. fn 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

This was the Gospel read at Charlie’s funeral. It’s after Easter and after Jesus has risen from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth for 40 days after Easter and then rose to heaven on Ascension Thursday - May 10th this year.

Mel Gibson is making Passion of Christ II, which I assume will deal with the Resurrection, 40 day grace period and the Ascension.

By the way there were 153 fish because that was the number of species of fish thought to exist then.

Should be room for plenty of special effect. Pentecost and all.
