ヨハネの福音書 21:7-17 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 21:11

Simon Peter went up ,.... Either to the sea, that being higher than the land, or to the ship which lay by the shore: he went aboard it, and drew the net to land full of great fishes ; not alone, but others of the disciples with him; though he only is mentioned, being the leading person in this affair; an emblem of the whole number of God's elect being brought safe to shore, to Christ, and to heaven, through various tribulations and afflictions in the world, fitly signified by the waves... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 21:12

Jesus saith unto them, come and dine ,.... One would think it should rather have been said, come and take a breakfast than a dinner, since it was so early in the morning: but Grotius has observed, out of Homer, that αριστον , is used for food taken in a morning; so that it may signify here, not what we properly call dining, but eating a morning's meal; and may be an emblem of that spiritual refreshment believers enjoy with Christ in his house and ordinances now, and of those everlasting... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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", &c.; which is agreeably to his usual practice at meals. ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 21:15

So when they had dined ,.... The Persic version adds, Jesus turned his face to Simon Peter ; he did not interrupt them whilst they were eating; but when they had comfortably refreshed themselves, he looked at Peter, and singled him out from the rest, and directed his discourse to him; and saith unto Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas ; not John, as the Vulgate Latin, and Nonnus, and some copies read; for this answers not to the Hebrew word Jochanan, but Jonah, the same name with the... read more

He saith unto him again the second time ,.... Willing to have the expressions of his love repeated and confirmed; Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? he leaves out the words, "more than these", though Nonnus expresses them; he saw Peter's heart, and observed the modesty of his answer, and would not urge him any more in that comparative way, only required a repetition of his sincere and hearty love to him: he saith unto him, yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee ; expressing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 21:17

He saith unto him the third time ,.... That by these three testimonies, out of his mouth, the thing might be established, and be out of all doubt: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? is it so indeed that thou lovest me? is thy love really so hearty and sincere as thou savest? may it be depended upon? Peter was grieved, because he said unto him the third time, lovest thou me ? because it put him in mind of his having denied his Lord three times; the remembrance of which cut him to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:7

His fisher's coat - Or, his upper coat. Επενδυτην , from επι , upon, and ενδυω , I clothe; something analagous to what we term a great coat or surtout. He was naked - He was only in his vest. Γυμνος , naked, is often used to signify the absence of this upper garment only. In 1 Samuel 19:24 , when Saul had put off his ἱματια , upper garments, he is said to have been γυμνος , naked; and David, when girded only with a linen ephod, is said to have been uncovered, in 2 Samuel... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:8

Dragging the net - It is probable that this was that species of fishing in which the net was stretched from the shore out into the sea; the persons who were in the boat, and who shot the net, fetched a compass, and bringing in a hawser, which was attached to the other end of the net, those who were on shore helped them to drag it in. As the net was sunk with weights to the bottom, and the top floated on the water by corks, or pieces of light wood, all the fish that happened to come within... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:9

They saw a fire, etc. - This appears to have been a new miracle. It could not have been a fire which the disciples had there, for it is remarked as something new; besides, they had caught no fish, John 21:5 , and here was a small fish upon the coals, and a loaf of bread provided to eat with it. The whole appears to have been miraculously prepared by Christ. read more
