Now, they returned to Galilee from Jerusalem. Though they experienced the resurrection and were to witness it, they didn’t know what to do. Jesus came and confirmed their discipleship. 👉 Read John 21:1 - 14 Q1. Even though they experienced Jesus’ resurrection, they went out fishing. Simon Peter told them, “I am going (          ).” They replied, “(                  ).” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught (          ).

When Mary saw the stone was moved away, what did she think? (2) Answers 👉 Someone stole the body of Jesus. Jesus had told several times about His resurrection, but she didn’t take the literal meaning of resurrection. She didn’t believe it. Note that Jesus showed them the empty tomb first before He would appear to them. It was to expose their unbelief of not believing the resurrection and to challenge them to walk in faith.

However, for those who rely on evidence to believe, it could support the consp...

However, what John meant was not only the suffering of Jesus. He portrays Jesus’ death as the sacrifice of the Lamb of God....
