Scholars have suggested hundreds of possible meanings for
John’s reference to “153 Fish.” These suggestions are often long and
extremely speculative. How could the Apostle John have expected his
readers to see any of those connections? The fact that John does not
offer an explanation for the 153 fish highly suggests that his meaning
would have been so obvious to the first century Greeks in Ephesus that
no explanation was required. This web page examines all these
suggestions. And, it explains how we can see a reasonable proof that
there is only one answer that we know John’s readers would have
recognized.
