In the account of Jesus' miracle of the great catch of fish on the Lake of Gennesaret, also known as the Sea of Galilee, He stands in Simon Peter's boat, teaching those eager to hear the Word of God. After His teaching, He instructs Simon to launch out into the deep and let down his nets for a catch. Despite having toiled all night with no success, Simon reluctantly agrees, saying, at Your word I will let down the net, though his obedience is half-hearted as he uses only one net instead of many as commanded. When they let down the net, a large school of fish miraculously appears alongside the boat at the precise moment of Jesus' instruction, filling the net to the point of breaking and requiring help from another boat. This extraordinary event, marked by the exact timing and location of the fish, demonstrates a genuine miracle. Amazed by this display of supernatural power, Peter falls at Jesus' knees, overwhelmed by his own sinfulness, and cries, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. Jesus uses this moment to deliver a profound message to His disciples, telling Peter not to be afraid and declaring that from now on he will catch men. Immediately, Peter, Andrew, James, and John leave their boats and nets behind to follow Him, recognizing that He is more than capable of meeting their every need.

In the final miracle of Jesus Christ's earthly ministry, the second Great Catch of Fish reveals profound growth in the disciples. Initially, none of the disciples recognize the Lord on the shoreline, yet once John identifies Him, Peter eagerly dresses and swims about 200 cubits to join Him, a stark contrast to his earlier reaction during the first catch where he begged Christ to depart due to being overwhelmed by His power. When Christ advises them to cast the net on the right side of the boat, Peter shows no hesitation, unlike his initial resistance in the first miracle. The net brims with a massive catch without tearing, and the disciples exhibit no anxiety or overwhelm. Peter even jumps back into the water to drag the catch to shore alone, unlike the first incident where the net tore and the boats began to sink. This second miracle begins with an anxious and bewildered group of disciples struggling to identify their Lord. By the end, however, their weak faith is strengthened, their unbelief dissolved, and their capacity to serve enriched through Christ's presence, marking the completion of their three-and-a-half-year education under His direct guidance.
