John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:1-25

Supplementary1-25. Appendix. The Gospel is brought to a definite close, its contents are reviewed, and its purpose stated in John 20:30, John 20:31. The present chapter is therefore probably an appendix added at a later time, but (since all MSS and versions contain it) before the Gospel had been extensively copied, or had passed into general circulation. There is good reason for supposing that it is by the same author as the Gospel. For (1) the style is identical. For example, there is a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 21:3

(3) Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing.—The words are the vivid representation by an ear-witness of what actually took place as they re turned to their ordinary work during the interval between the Passover and Pentecost. It does not express either an abandonment of their higher vocation, or an expectation of the presence of the Lord. The picturesque colouring of the whole scene is quite in St. John’s style, as is also the simple co-ordinate arrangement of sentences without connecting... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - John 21:1-25

John 21:0 Mr. A. C. Benson says: 'I have often thought that the last chapter of St. John's Gospel is one of the most bewildering and enchanting pieces of literature I know. I suppose Robert Browning must have thought so, because he makes the reading of it, in that odd rich poem 'Bishop Blougram's Apology,' the sign, together with testing a plough, of a man's conversion, from the unreal life of talk and words, to the realities of life.'

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 21:1-14

XXIV. APPEARANCE AT SEA OF GALILEE."After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and He manifested Himself on this wise. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a-fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing. But when day... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - John 21:1-25

CHAPTER 21 1. At the Sea of Tiberias. The Third Manifestation. (John 21:1-14 .) 2. Peter’s Restoration and Ministry; the manner of His Death Predicted. (John 21:15-19 .) 3. Tarry Till I Come. (John 21:20-23 .) 4. Conclusion. (John 21:24-25 .) This chapter has often been looked upon as an appendix to the Gospel of John. It is not. Quite true, John states in the last two verses of the preceding chapter the purpose of this Gospel, but that does not mean that the twenty-first chapter has no... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:1-25

APPEARING IN GALILEE (vs.1-14) The scene now changes from Jerusalem to Galilee. We have seen in chapter 20:19-25 the picture of the gathering of the Church of God, and in the remaining verses that of the re-gathering of Israel, which is still future. These verses of chapter 21 furnish a picture of the bringing in of Gentile nations, for the sea speaks of the nations (Revelation 17:15) and the fish, of individuals in the nations. All of this blessing is founded upon the work of the Lord Jesus... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 21:1-25

AFTER THE RESURRECTION THE FACT OF THE RESURRECTION (John 20:10 ) The original features are Mary Magdalene’s message to Peter and John and the visit of the last two to the tomb. Perhaps the most notable verse is John 20:7 , which shows the deliberate manner in which the resurrection took place. Everything contradicted the idea that the body had been stolen. Why thus should the linen clothes have been left? The quantity of linen must have been large when one hundred pounds of aromatic... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 21:1-25

A Pathetic Interview Joh 21:10-25 We cannot tell what happened at the interview between Jesus Christ and his penitent disciple. We remember how Peter denied his Lord: we have rejoiced to find him reappearing in the sacred story, and we have been made aware that when Peter was given to understand that Jesus was standing upon the shore, he went out to him he "did cast himself into the sea," and he was the first to see Jesus, and he saw the Saviour alone. What happened at that interview we shall... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 21:3-4

Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. (4) But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. There is somewhat very interesting in this account. And the plain and artless representation of the history is much more beautiful, than had the account been dressed up in all the pomp of language. The want of... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 21:3

How comes it that Peter, after his conversion, should return to his fishing, when Jesus Christ had said, that he that sets his hand to the plough, and looks back, is not worthy of the kingdom of heaven? The employments they applied to before their conversion, without being guilty of sin, these they might, without fault, exercise, after their conversion: therefore Peter returned to his fishing; but St. Matthew never returned to his custom-house, because when once converted, we never can be... read more
