4 Al amanecer, Jesús apareció en la playa, pero los discípulos no podían ver quién era.

Juan 21:4 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:4

But when the morning was now come
The day began to dawn, and light to appear, very early in the morning; for Christ visits his right early, and is a present help to them in their time of trouble.

Jesus stood on the shore:
on firm ground, whilst his disciples were beating about in the waves, and toiling to no purpose. So Christ, risen from the dead, is glorified, is in heaven; but not unmindful of his people amidst all their afflictions in this world:

but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus;
though he was so near them that they could hear what he said; but it not being broad daylight they could not distinctly discern him, or their eyes might be held that they could not know him. So Christ is sometimes near his people, and they know it not.

Juan 21:4 In-Context

2 Varios de sus discípulos se encontraban allí: Simón Pedro, Tomás (al que apodaban el Gemelo),
Natanael de Caná de Galilea, los hijos de Zebedeo y otros dos discípulos.

3 Simón Pedro dijo:
—Me voy a pescar.
—Nosotros también vamos —dijeron los demás.
Así que salieron en la barca, pero no pescaron nada en toda la noche.

4 Al amanecer, Jesús apareció en la playa, pero los discípulos no podían ver quién era.

5 Les preguntó:
—No —contestaron ellos.

6 Entonces él dijo:
Ellos lo hicieron y no podían sacar la red por la gran cantidad de peces que contenía.
