João 21:13

13 Chegou Jesus, tomou o pão e deu-lho, e semelhantemente o peixe.

João 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:13

Jesus then cometh and taketh bread
After they had taken the fish out of the net, and all was prepared for the meal, and the disciples were set down to eat, Christ came and took his place as the master of the feast, and head of the family; and taking up the bread, as was his usual method, he asked a blessing over it, and gave thanks for it. Beza's ancient copy, and one of Stephens's read, "and having given thanks he gave" which is agreeably to his usual practice at meals.

And giveth them, and fish likewise;
he distributed both bread and fish to his disciples. So, in a spiritual sense, he provides plentifully for his people; gives them to eat of the hidden manna, and tree of life, and leads to fountains of living waters; encourages them to eat and drink freely, what is of his own preparing, and at his own expense provided for them.

João 21:13 In-Context

11 Entrou Simão Pedro no barco e puxou a rede para terra, cheia de cento e cinquenta e três grandes peixes; e, apesar de serem tantos, não se rompeu a rede.
12 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, comei. Nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? sabendo que era o Senhor.
13 Chegou Jesus, tomou o pão e deu-lho, e semelhantemente o peixe.
14 Foi esta a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestou aos seus discípulos, depois de ter ressurgido dentre os mortos.
15 Depois de terem comido, perguntou Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de João, amas-me mais do que estes? Respondeu- lhe: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeirinhos.
