Breakfast by the Sea

1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the aSea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:  
2 Simon Peter, aThomas called the Twin, bNathanael of cCana in Galilee, dthe sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.  
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and1 immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.  
4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples adid not know that it was Jesus.  
5 Then aJesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”  
6 And He said to them, a“Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.  
7 Therefore athat disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.  
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12 Jesus said to them, a“Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.  
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

Barnes' Notes
<< John 20:31   John 21:2 >>


John 21:1

The sea of Tiberias - Called also the Sea of Galilee, being situated in Galilee. See the notes at Matthew 4:18. In this place Jesus had promised to meet them, Mark 14:28; Mark 16:7; Matthew 26:32; Matthew 28:10. This interview of Jesus is but just mentioned by Matthew Matthew 28:16, and is omitted by both Mark and Luke. This is the reason why John relates so particularly what occurred there. Galilee was a retired place where they would be free from danger, and was therefore a safe and convenient situation for Jesus to meet them, in order to give them his last instructions.

On this wise - Thus. In this manner.
