João 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.

João 21:4 In-Context

2 Estavam juntos Simão Pedro; Tomé, chamado Dídimo; Natanael, de Caná da Galileia; os filhos de Zebedeu; e dois outros discípulos.

3 “Vou pescar”, disse-lhes Simão Pedro. E eles disseram: “Nós vamos com você”. Eles foram e entraram no barco, mas naquela noite não pegaram nada.

4 Ao amanhecer, Jesus estava na praia, mas os discípulos não o reconheceram.

5 Ele lhes perguntou: “Filhos, vocês têm algo para comer?”Eles responderam que não.

6 Ele disse: “Lancem a rede do lado direito do barco e vocês encontrarão”. Eles a lançaram e não conseguiam recolher a rede, tal era a quantidade de peixes.
