'It Is The Lord!'
John 21:7.
a) John said to Peter.
b) "It is the Lord."
c) When Peter heard that it was the Lord he put his outer garment on.
d) (He was stripped for work)
e) Then he threw himself into the sea.
(This QT reveals to me the shame Peter had when he heard that It Was The Lord)

'Now Is The Time.'
Mark 16:20.
a) The Disciples went out and preached everywhere.
b) The Lord worked with them.
c) The Lord confirmed the Word by the signs that followed the preaching.
(This Second one strongly reminds me that Now Is The Time)

Chris.
Peter was embarrassed by the Presence of Jesus, that is why he threw himself into the sea, he was improperly dressed. This was not 'old-fashioned' or merely 'religious' behaviour, Peter genuinely had the holy Fear of the Lord and did not want to appear undressed before His Lord. Without making much comment or unnecessary criticism I would just remark that it is good that True Believers can emulate Peter, having the holy Fear of the Lord.
