Commentary of the Gospell
Kingdom-wise Peter
Simon Peter was a fool, in the worldly sense that Paul speaks about today. Having experienced the extraordinary catch of the fish resulting from the genius of Jesus, a world-wise fisherman should have immediately sensed a grand business opportunity. Wouldn’t it be great to have Jesus joining him and then they could go fishing every day, Jesus would use his sixth sense and locate where the fish were, and boom! They would have great catch, big money, and grow rich together! So, Peter should have invited Jesus for a cup of tea and asked him to join his company, with a proposal of profit sharing. But Peter doesn’t do any of that; the only thing he can do is to be utterly conscious of his own unworthiness before the holiness of Jesus, fall to his knees, and beg Jesus to leave him, a sinful man. World-wise, a fool. But Kingdom-wise, he belonged. No wonder Jesus simply wouldn’t let go of him.
