John 21:9
they saw—"see."
a fire of coals, and fish laid thereon, and bread—By comparing this with I Kings 19:6, and similar passages, the unseen agency by which Jesus made this provision will appear evident.
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.
14 This is now athe third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of1 Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I2 love You.” He said to him, a“Feed My lambs.”

John 21:7-11
that disciple whom Jesus loved, said, It is the Lord—again having the advantage of his brother in quickness of recognition (see on John 20:8), to be followed by an alacrity in Peter all his own.
he was naked—his vest only on, worn next the body.
cast himself into the sea—the shallow part, not more than a hundred yards from the water's edge (John 21:8), not meaning therefore to swim, but to get sooner to Jesus than in the full boat which they could hardly draw to shore.
