Jean 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.

Jean 21:13 In-Context

11 Simon Pierre remonta, et tira le filet à terre, plein de cent cinquante-trois grands poissons, et quoiqu'il y en eût tant, le filet ne se rompit point.
12 Jésus leur dit: Venez dîner. Et aucun des disciples n'osait lui demander: Qui es-tu? sachant que c'était le Seigneur.
13 Jésus donc s'approcha, et prit du pain, et leur en donna, ainsi que du poisson.
14 C'était déjà la troisième fois que Jésus se faisait voir à ses disciples, après être ressuscité des morts.
15 Après qu'ils eurent dîné, Jésus dit à Simon Pierre: Simon, fils de Jona, m'aimes-tu plus que ceux-ci? Pierre répondit: Oui, Seigneur, tu sais que je t'aime. Jésus lui dit: Pais mes agneaux.
