Peter is standing at Center Stage. He is shirtless
What a fruitless night on the sea. I don’t know what I was thinking. Back to fishing? Really?
But how does He expect me to feed my family? Fisher of men, right!
I’m not an educated man. No one is going to follow me. (Beat)
And yet my brother, cousins and friends followed my here… (Beat)
No, no, no, The teachers sent me home from the synagogue…I am a fisherman… just like my father, brother, uncle and cousins.
I must admit though, the last three years were amazing.
The things I witnessed! The places I traveled! The people I met…even Gentiles and Samaritans…. (Beat)
But that was with Him. I am nothing without Him. Besides, when He needed me most I betrayed Him…How did it all come crashing down so quickly? (Beat)
Andrew! Pull up the useless nets. It’s morning. Time to head back to shore.
What’s that James? (Beat) There’s a fire on the beach?
Who is it? (Beat) I don’t know. What does it matter anyway.
Huh! That guy is waving at us… (Beat) Did we catch anything for breakfast?, he asks! Ha! Ha!
NO! (Beat) What? Put the nets down on the other side of the boat? Seriously? (Beat) Okay if you guys want to ……..
What is going on? So many fish! Quick! Everyone help! We’re going to sink! John…..John….what are you doing? Give us a hand! (Beat)
Are you’re telling me that’s Jesus on the shore?

I’m sorry I left you to haul in the catch… I just had to swim ashore to see Jesus. Thanks for bringing fish to add to the fire.
(Mime eating)
Thank you for the breakfast Master. Just like old times….eating together on a beach. (Beat)
Are You asking if I love you more than these? My brother, cousins and friends? (Beat)
Yes Master You know I love You. (Beat)
Mater, must You ask again if I love You? Yes Master, You know I love You (Beat)
Master, You know everything there is to know….even as You ask a third time if I love You….You’ve got to know that I love You. (Beat)
Yes, I will feed the lambs, shepherd the sheep and feed the sheep as best I can….Yes, I am willing to stretch out my hands and to be led where I do not want to go. I will follow You.
