| Summary: | In John 21,1-14 the use of ichthys and opsarion is surprising since theyboth refer to fish. Only a symbolic reading of the pericope is able to see thevalue of the variation and the meaning of John 21,1-14. Ezek 47,1-12constitutes the fundamental background of the passage: in the light of theoracle of the eschatological temple we see the meaning of the right side ofthe boat and the number one hundred and fifty-three for the fish, whichcorresponds by gematria to the spring of Eglayim. Thus, while opsariondesignates simply the material fish, ichthys refers to the redeemed who enterinto the unbroken net. |
