John 21:7,8

That disciple whom Jesus loved, saith, It is the Lord.

John, with his quickness of perception, as soon as it was seen that the net was filled with an astonishing draught of fishes, remembering. former miracle of the same kind, exclaimed, It is the Lord! Peter, impulsive as usual, when he heard it, at once plunged into the sea in order to reach the shore. During the work of the night he had laid off his "fisher's coat,". kind of loose blouse, and counting it unseemly to appear before the Savior half clad, he put it on. In. moment he was standing upon the shore by the Lord. The rest of the disciples, less impulsive, came more slowly. It was 200 cubits, 100 yards to the shore, and they, as they came in the boat, slowly dragged the net with its living load after them. This, Peter seemed to have forgotten, though the fish had been caught under Christ's directions. We rather admire the course of those disciples who continued faithful to the duty of that moment.
