AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 21:7 Then that disciple (John) whom Jesus loved (esteemed) said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer tunic (for he was stripped for work) and threw himself into the sea [and swam ashore]. |
Bible Question: Why was Peter on the boat naked? Was this custom in the Peter's day? |
Bible Answer: Well, I've just done a little research and answered my own question. :-) It does say "naked" in the KJV. I would recommend the use of the Amplified Bible, the NASB (both available online), and other 20th century English versions of the Bible as an aid in studying and getting at the more precise meaning of various passages of Scripture. Thank you for posting a good question, the answer to which is quite interesting. Peace, kalos |
