In Hebrew language there were (and still are) no numbers neither were there in Greek, nor in Latin. And since this number is so peculiar and its revelation is by no means accidental, we will attempt to find an explanation as to its deep meaning.

Unfortunately, Yeshua the Messiah who knew the exact number of fishes, while they were still in the net, has given us no interpretation on the 153 fishes in a form of parable. Why exactly 153 fishes filled the net? Why is this exact number given, and not a rounded number of 150 fishes, or simply “a lot of fish”, if there was not the need to point out the exact number of fish caught in the net: 153 fishes? (Joh 21:11) And that was the third time Yeshua was manifested to His disciples after He was raised from the dead (Joh 21:14). And though there were so many, the net was not torn. Shimon Kepha went up and dragged the net filled with 153 big fishes. And Yeshua said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught” (Joh 21:10). So they threw and caught so large number of fish they were no longer able to draw the net (Joh 21:3-6). But early morning, they saw Yeshua standing on the beach who told them to throw the net on the right side of the boat that they should find fish. Shimon Kepha and the other disciples went out fishing and that night they caught no fish. This peculiar moment is the catch of 153 fishes in the fishing net of His disciple. There is a peculiar moment in Yeshua’s ministry that can puzzle anyone who seeks a deeper meaning of the words of the Son of Elohim.
