Giovanni 21:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:10

Jesus saith unto them
The disciples:

bring of the fish which ye have now caught:
for they might have caught some before, though so few and small, as scarcely to be reckoned any; nor were they bid to bring all they had taken, only some of them, to add to these Christ had prepared for them on land; they being both indeed of a miraculous production, and the effects of his divine power. Christ's view in ordering to bring some of them, and put to those that lay upon the coals, was partly that they might have enough to make a meal of for them all; and also, that they might have a more perfect knowledge of the miracle wrought, by seeing the number and largeness of the fishes, and by bringing the net full of them to shore unbroken; and may be an emblem of the bringing of souls to Christ by the ministry of the word, thereby adding to those that are already gathered.

Giovanni 21:10 In-Context

8 Ma gli altri discepoli vennero con la barca, perché non erano molto distanti da terra (circa duecento cubiti), traendo la rete coi pesci.

9 Come dunque furono smontati a terra, videro quivi della brace, e del pesce messovi su, e del pane.

10 Gesù disse loro: Portate qua de’ pesci che avete presi ora.

11 Simon Pietro quindi montò nella barca, e tirò a terra la rete piena di centocinquantatre grossi pesci; e benché ce ne fossero tanti, la rete non si strappò.

12 Gesù disse loro: Venite a far colazione. E niuno dei discepoli ardiva domandargli: Chi sei? sapendo che era il Signore.
