Wow, Michael! You have been shown a ‘great, bright key’ to the kingdom of heaven — HUMILITY!!!
And I’d like to point out in John 21, that when Peter and other of the disciples had fished all night and caught nothing, but when morning came, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said, “Children, have you any meat?” They said, “No.” Jesus then said to them, “Cast the net on the RIGHT side of the ship, and you shall find.” They did that (believed and acted on his command) and were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore John said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were 200 cubits) dragging the net with fishes. As soon as they were come to the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus said, “Bring of the fish which you have now caught.” Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, 153; and for all there were so many, yet the net was not broken. Jesus said, “Come and dine.” And none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are thou?” knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the 3rd time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
