Peter was ever impetuous and eager; in his joy he cast himself into the sea, and was soon standing by the side of his Master. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net with fishes." — *The Desire of Ages*, DA 810.2 ### Context This passage is found in Chapter 84, titled **"By the Sea Once More."** It describes the third time Jesus manifested Himself to His disciples after His resurrection.
