2:106, #410: Jesus Buys Breakfast

On a Bible not-so-trivial quiz, probably a goodly portion of folks who have read the New Testament would know that Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine, as John specifically says in Chapter 2 of his gospel; although a lot of Babdists would probably shudder at the knowledge, I'm thinking, given their aversion to all things vino here on Earth That Is.

How would you fare on what was His last recorded miracle? This subject dawned on me the other day as I read of His ear replacement miracle on Malchus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Well, needless to say, I've done some checking and have a different conclusion. Now, for purposes of this post, His ins and outs in the blink of an eye using his resurrection body, as well as his ascension into Heaven do not count as miracles because it would appear they are standard operating procedure in a resurrected body. However, that argument dismissed out of hand, I'm calling it Breakfast on The Beach in John 21 where the disciples had caught zippo while night fishing but got 153 large fish on the right side of the boat after Jesus pointed out they should drop a net there.

Interestingly...at least to me...He already had fish and bread cooking on hot coals, no doubt, for Himself and his anticipated Bible study group who were just pulling in to The Beach. You know, that might be a great name for a fish and chips shop at the seashore! In any event, He told them to bring Him some more fish, presumably for second helpings or to supplement what He had. Now, just where did Jesus get the batch of fish and bread He was cooking? Did he chuck a line in for some Lake Galilee fly fishing? Did He stop off at the local market for fish and bread? Did He just say, "Let there be fish, bread, and charcoal?" Danggit, but He'd be handy to have around at a Memorial Day BBQ!! Or a Labor Day Get Together where nobody works on Labor Day! Hmmm...kinda makes me think of the Eternal Labor Day Tailgate Party called The Marriage Feast; well, we all know how my mind goes tangential at the drop of a fish! ;p
Got tartar sauce and butter?
