A chiasm is a literary structure where vocabulary of the first section of a passage is repeated in reverse order in the second. The center of the chiasm is typically the climax of the passage. In John 21 the center and climax is when John told Peter that the Lord was the on who had told them where to fish, he jumped into the water and swam to shore (John 21:27).
