During the weekdays and Saturdays of Lent, we’re bringing you daily podcasts from the Gospel of John – “the disciple whom Jesus loved”. Starting with an introduction from Canon Christopher Thomas on Shrove Tuesday, ‘Reading John in Lent’ starts in earnest on Ash Wednesday with John 1: 1-18, telling us how “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” – Jesus Christ, the only Son from the Father. We then follow the Gospel through all 22 chapters concluding on the Friday of Easter Week. Join us as for ‘Reading John in Lent’. Taken from the English Standard Version of the Bible.

Today we complete our journey through the Gospel of John.
Jesus asks Simon Peter three times if he loves him. Each time he responds in the affirmative. The third time, Simon Peter replies, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus says to him, “Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.”
After saying this, the Lord says to the beloved apostle, “Follow me”.

Jesus reveals himself for the third time to the disciples after his death, by the Sea of the Tiberias.
Just as the day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
