Abstract

The author proposes that the Greek tripartite expression 153 (ἑκατόν πεντήκοντα τριῶν) in John 21:11 contains a notarikon of ἑπτά, which is necessarily incomplete by the determinant of the corresponding Greek number and implies the fullness of the mission entrusted by the Risen One. He also proposes that the number 153, within a community that was originally pagan, refers to foreigners who contributed to the building of the Solomonic Temple (there were 153,600 foreign workers when Solomon’s Temple was built). The foreigners who now form part of the new Israel, the new Temple, are integrated in it and should contribute to its development.
