Summary

Readers in coL #2's "Letters" section asked for an interpretation of a passage from the Gospel of John where Peter hastily puts on clothes upon recognizing Jesus near the shore. Different interpretations of this event include the idea that Peter's clothing was practical for fishing and swimming, a sign of respect for meeting Jesus, and a demonstration of Peter's love and devotion to Jesus. The interpretations also consider the cultural context and social norms of the time.
