John 21:1 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:1

After these things
The resurrection of Christ from the dead, his appearance to Mary Magdalene, and twice to his disciples; once when Thomas was absent, and at another time when he was present:

Jesus showed himself again to the disciples,
a third time, as in ( John 21:14 ) though not to them all; seven are only mentioned, as together, when he appeared to them:

at the sea of Tiberias;
the same with the sea of Galilee; see ( John 6:1 ) for after the second appearance of Christ to his disciples, they went from Jerusalem to Galilee, by the order of Christ, who appointed to meet them there, ( Matthew 28:10 Matthew 28:16 )

and on this way showed he himself;
the manner in which he made his appearance, and the persons to whom, are as follow.

John 21:1 In-Context

1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and in this manner did he show [himself].

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter saith to them, I go a fishing. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a boat immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any victuals? They answered him, No.
