“During those clashes, it is reported that Peter brought a smoked fish back to life”

No doubt a very shallow fish...

LoL. The first official Pope didn’t get registry until hundreds of years after the sacking of Jerusalem.

On the other hand, a footnote in the RC NAB Bible says the Red Sea in which the Egyptians drowned was in Hebrew is literally, "the Reed Sea"; hence the Red Sea of Exodus was probably a body of shallow water somewhat to the north of the present deep Red Sea. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__P1R.HTM

Which was quite a miracle, but while the Hebrew term for the place of the crossing is "Yam Suph" means "reeds," the LXX translators rendered it "red," thus in the NT also, knowing more than we do, there are explanations which make the reed sea a place of deep water, such as the Ballah Lake .

Kitchen suggested that the Reed Sea terminology might have been used by the ancients for all the bodies of water in the series of reedy lakes that ran the full north-south length of the isthmus (2003:262). By extension, it was also applied to the last of these bodies of water—the Gulf of Suez. This would also explain Numbers 33:10, where the Israelites again passed yam suph (so-called “yam suph II” [Kitchen 2003: 271]) later in the Exodus narrative, after the miraculous yam suph crossing earlier.
