14 Now this [is the] third time Jesus was showed to his disciples, when he had risen again from death [when he rose again from dead].

John 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:14

This is now the third time
Or day of Christ's appearance to his disciples: he appeared to them first on the same day he rose, and then a second time eight days after, or that day a week later, and now at the sea of Tiberias; for within this compass of time he had made more appearances than three, though to particular persons, and not to such a number of the disciples as at these three times:

that Jesus showed himself to his disciples after that he was risen
from the dead:
and thus, as by the mouth of two or three witnesses, everything is established; so by these three principal appearances of Christ to his disciples, his resurrection from the dead was confirmed.

John 21:14 In-Context

12 Jesus saith to them, Come ye, and eat ye. And no man of them that sat at the meat, durst ask him, Who art thou, witting that it is the Lord.

13 And Jesus came, and took bread, and gave to them, and fish also.

14 Now this [is the] third time Jesus was showed to his disciples, when he had risen again from death [when he rose again from dead].

15 And when they had eaten, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed thou my lambs [Feed my lambs].

16 Again he saith to him, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed thou my lambs.
