What about John 21?
print icon

In John 21, the 2 words Jesus spoke translated as “fish” are the Greek “prosphagion” and “opsarion” meaning “a relish or anything eaten with bread.” And there are many deep layers of meaning here we can discuss which raises questions in regards to the inclusion of the number 153 fish and its relationship to the Ichthys symbol representing the early movement. Also, He told Peter and the disciples to drop their nets and leave fishing behind, and in this instance after his death, they had relapsed in doubt, and again he tells them to “feed my sheep” and leave fishing behind.
