Chapter 159 Saint Peter
There is a small village on the shore of the Red Sea. The ten families in this village, most of whom are poor Israelis, can only rely on planting some date trees in the salt-alkali land on the beach. Every autumn, they harvest some dates and send them to the market.
In exchange for a year's worth of food and daily necessities.
There is only one person in this small village who is different, his name is Peter, and he is a fisherman. The reason why there is only one fisherman in this village near the sea is because the desert along the Red Sea is barren and the wood is extremely
It is very precious, which means that it costs a lot of money to build a small fishing boat, and poor people cannot afford it.
Peter's family was relatively well off, and his parents left him a considerable fortune, which allowed him to build a fishing boat and become the only fisherman here.
On this day, Peter went out to sea to fish, but when the sun went down, he came back empty-handed. His luck was really bad today, and he was in a terrible mood.
When the small fishing boat docked, Peter found a man wearing a white linen robe standing on the shore. This man had long hair shawl and a full beard. He was holding a shepherd's cane in his hand and was smiling.
Look at yourself with a smile.
Peter said angrily: "I am a fisherman, not a ferryman. I will not take you to other places."
The man standing on the shore was Jesus. After hearing Peter’s words, he asked, “Didn’t you catch any fish today?”
Peter shouted: "What does this have to do with you? It's just bad luck today. If I go to deeper sea tomorrow, I will catch big fish."
Jesus said: "If doing things depends only on luck, then I guess my luck is pretty good."
Peter looked at Jesus and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Jesus approached Peter and said, “Dear stranger, what is your name?”
Peter replied: "My name is Peter."
Jesus smiled and nodded and said: "Peter, listen to me, the reason why you didn't catch fish is because the Israelites now have abandoned the covenant made by God and Moses. Greed has controlled people's minds. The fish in the Red Sea
He has already left, so even if you reach the other side of the sea tomorrow, you will still find nothing."
Peter said: "You are an alarmist! I have been fishing here for more than twenty years. I just have bad luck recently! Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Jesus said: "My name is Jesus, I am the son of God, the Messiah of this world, and God asked me to save you."
Peter laughed after hearing this. His eyes seemed to be looking at another madman. He said breathlessly: "Son of God? Where is God? Call him out and show me? Don't talk about this here.
That's crazy. If you have nothing to do, it's best to leave. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Jesus was not offended by Peter’s attitude. He asked, “Don’t you believe there is a God in this world?”
Peter said: "Of course I believe it, but that God is not my God. God will only bless those noble men and will not care about us ordinary people at all."
Jesus smiled and said, "How come? If God doesn't care about you, then why did he send me to you?"
Peter seemed a little impatient. He went ashore and pushed Jesus aside and said, "Stop talking nonsense here and leave quickly. Otherwise, I will declare to customs."
Looking at Peter's retreating figure, Jesus shouted: "How can I make you believe that God cares for you?"
When Peter heard this, he stopped and turned around, with a playful expression on his face and said: "I have been empty-handed for three days. If God is favoring me, then let God give me a boat full of food."
Fish, if it can be realized, then I believe in it.”
Jesus smiled and said, "Then please get on the boat."
Peter asked: "What?"
Jesus said: "I am the heir of God, so on behalf of God, let me give you a boat full of fish."
Peter doubtfully returned to the small fishing boat. Jesus also jumped on the boat, but half way through, the boat was still empty. Peter asked, "Where is the fish that we promised?"
Jesus smiled and said: "Are you going to enjoy the fruits of your labor without working? I will give you a boat full of fish, but you need to go out to sea and cast a net to harvest it."
"Now?" Peter snorted and said, "It's almost dark. It's just a dream to catch fish now."
Jesus said, "If you believe me, quickly sail the boat and I will give you a sign."
Suspicious, Peter raised the sail and took Jesus out to sea again. When they reached a place, Jesus knocked the bottom of the boat with his staff and said, "This is right here. You can cast your net."
Peter opened the fishing net and cast it towards the darkening sea. When the fishing net was closed, he was surprised to find that it felt extremely heavy in his hands. He hurriedly pulled the net to the boat, although a whole net of fish jumped out of the water.
, these fish were jumping happily, Peter couldn't help but smile and said: "There are really fish!"
Jesus sat in the stern and said easily, "Go on until the boat is full and we can go back."
Peter cast one net after another, and each net brought a heavy harvest. Until it was completely dark, his small boat was full of fish.
Looking at the barn full of fish, Peter was very excited and didn't know what to say. At this time, he looked at Jesus with a clear look. From the contempt at the beginning, he was now full of admiration.
Jesus' expression was very calm and he said: "Why, you don't want to continue?"
Peter said, "That's enough."
Jesus nodded and said, "I'm glad you're not greedy. Then why don't you go back? It's already dark, and you've returned with a full load. Don't you want to entertain me, a stranger from afar?"
Peter hurriedly set up the sail and said: "This is what I should do. We have fish soup to drink tonight and unleavened bread!"
Jesus laughed happily and said, "That would be great."
After returning to the village, Peter led Jesus to his home. Jesus saw that Peter's house was quite elegant and he had a wife and three children at home.
The children gathered around happily when they saw their father returning home with a full load, and the wife smiled knowingly when she saw her husband.
Jesus was invited into the house by Peter and took the most distinguished position. He and his wife hurriedly prepared a table full of delicious food, and stood in front of Jesus devoutly and asked: "I don't know what to call you.
Your miracle today really surprised me. Maybe you...you are the heir of God."
Jesus said calmly: "Dear Peter, please don't be surprised. You have to accept the fact that all this is true. Those fish will not turn into a pile of sand tomorrow morning. I am not a magician. Those fish are not
It is true, you can use it to eat, or you can use it to exchange for money. All of these are entrusted to you by God."
Peter knelt in front of Jesus and said devoutly: "I accept this fact. You are indeed the son of God. I am very convinced. It's just..."
Peter raised his head and looked at Jesus and asked, "There are many people in this world, why did you come to me?"
Jesus smiled, pulled Peter up, let him sit next to Him, and said, "I just passed by here by chance. Although I am a son of God, I also need help."
Peter said, "Help? You can do everything and you need help?"
Jesus said, “I can do all things, but there is one thing I cannot do.”
Peter asked, "What is that?"
Jesus said: "That is to convince you of me. I may get into your mind and control your thinking, so I can only convince you by performing miracles."
Peter said: "Now I really believe in you."
Jesus said: "I need more people to believe in me. Only by following my footsteps can we get God's favor, live eternally, and go to the beautiful kingdom of heaven."
Peter asked, "What can I do for you?"
Jesus said: “Help me let more people know the existence of God and know that this world has not been abandoned by God. Only by believing in God can we have eternal life.”
"God?" Peter was very unfamiliar with this word.
Jesus nodded and said: "God is the only true God in this world, my heavenly Father. He summoned me in heaven, and asked all the angels to worship me, and sent me to the world to save those who are suffering, so that
They get happiness."
Peter's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Can I go too?"
Jesus said, "Of course you can, dear Peter, you are a good man."
Peter led his wife and children to kneel in front of Jesus and said: "Great Holy Spirit, from today on, my family and I are your loyal believers. No matter where you go, I will always follow you, and will always follow you."
Spread your will to the world." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
