The '''Miraculous catch of fish''' is described independently in both {{bible ref|Luke|5|4-10}} and {{bible ref|John|21|1-6}}, which corroborates its accuracy as those [[the Gospels|Gospel]] writers did not rely on each other and probably were not even aware of each other's work.  It is mathematically significant for illustrating the existence of [[infinity]] or, in [[economics]] terminology, an unlimited [[surplus]].  Logically, the absence of fish throughout the night on one side of the boat does not negate an overabundance of fish on the other side afterwards, so human intuition is proven false by this.  '''''Simply put, [[infinity|infinite]] happiness is immediately available to anyone at any time -- even at his times of his worst despair -- by merely rejecting [[liberal denial]]'''''.

The logic of this miracle '''''is very effective in dealing with [[anxiety]], regret, and [[addiction]]''''', as the miraculous catch of fish is always nearby as a matter of logic.  This illustrates the [[Coase theorem]], by which the most productive use of resources occurs at any given time no matter who has ownership or what occurred in the past.  The concept of [[infinity]] is related here, as everyone is closer to infinite happiness or value than they typically realize.

In the miracle [[Jesus]] urges His disciples, who had been fishing all night without any success, to simply recast their nets in a different way.  When they did, to their astonishment the nets filled beyond capacity with fish, catching more than the disciples could handle.

As the miracle is recounted in the [[Gospel of John]], Jesus suggests that the disciples cast the nets on the "right" side of the boat, whereupon the catch was overwhelming.<ref>He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. John 21:6 (NIV)</ref> Since [[Mark]] and [[John]] did not copy from each other, their separate accounts of this miracle constitute powerful corroboration of it.

The "right" side has political connotations.  Use of the "right" and "left" to refer to political persuasions became commonplace based on the seating layout of the National Assembly just prior to the [[French Revolution]].
