John 21:12

John 21:12

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.

14 This is now ^athe third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

Break your fast (aristhsate). First aorist active imperative of aristaw from ariston, first to breakfast, as here and then later to dine as in Luke 11:37. What a delightful breakfast of fresh broiled fish just caught (verse John 21:10) with the hush of joyful surprise in the presence of the Risen Lord.

Durst (etolma) Imperfect active of tolmaw. The restraint of silence continued.
