“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”

Scripture focus
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt [his] fisher’s coat [unto him], (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
John 21:7 — KJV
Whom Jesus loved. For this designation of John see on John 13:23. John was the first to recognize the Master as he was also the first to believe in the resurrection (John 20:8).
Simon Peter. Peter, impulsive, fervent, warmhearted, impetuous, and affectionate, responded in his characteristic fashion.
Fisher’s coat. Gr. ependutes, “an outer garment.”
Naked. Gr. gumnos, which, though it may describe one completely unclothed, may also describe one whose outer garment only is removed, and so probably here. Doubtless, Peter desired to greet his Master respectfully clad.
Into the sea. The water was probably shallow enough for wading, for the record says nothing of his walking on the water.
