The Miraculous catch of fish or more traditionally the Miraculous Draught of Fish(es), is either of two miracles attributed to Jesus in the canonical gospels. The miracles are reported as taking place years apart from each other, but in both miracles apostles are fishing unsuccessfully in the Sea of Galilee when Jesus tells them to try one more cast of the net, at which they are rewarded with a great catch (or "draught", as in "haul" or "weight"). Either is thus sometimes called a "miraculous draught of fish".
The Resurrection of Jesus is the Christian belief that God raised Jesus from the dead, thus confirming his identity as the Messiah.
In Christian theology, the death and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events, a foundation of the Christian faith, and commemorated by Easter. For Christians, his bodily resurrection is the guarantee that all the Christian dead will be resurrected at Christ's second coming. It was the restoration to life of a transformed body powered by spirit, as described by Paul and the gospel authors, that led to the establishment of Christianity.
