Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 21:1

CONTENTS The Lord Jesus renews his Appearance to his Disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He feeds his Disciples: gives a particular Charge to Peter. John ends his Gospel. (John 21:1 ) After these things, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. It seemed by the close of the foregoing Chapter, as if the Evangelist had then ended his Gospel, the last verses having all the appearance of a conclusion. But it is our mercy that God the Holy... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 21:1-14

1-14 Christ makes himself known to his people, usually in his ordinances; but sometimes by his Spirit he visits them when employed in their business. It is good for the disciples of Christ to be together in common conversation, and common business. The hour for their entering upon action was not come. They would help to maintain themselves, and not be burdensome to any. Christ's time of making himself known to his people, is when they are most at a loss. He knows the temporal wants of his... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 21:1-99

John 21 THE CLOSING VERSES of the previous chapter indicate that the evidence furnished, showing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, is now complete. This is therefore taken for granted in the closing chapter, which puts on record dealings with certain of His disciples wholly unrecorded in the other Gospels. It may be considered in two ways: first, as having a figurative or typical meaning; second, as showing His gracious dealings with them in view of their future. Verse Joh_21:14 gives... read more

The Appearance of Christ at the Sea of Tiberius. The fishing expedition: v. 1.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 21:1-9

the Miraculous Draught of Fishes John 21:1-9 It would almost seem as if the Apostles thought that the radiant vision of Christ was withdrawn forever; or did they think that they would glorify Him best, and be most likely to encounter Him, if they returned to the paths of ordinary toil? This miracle closely corresponds to that recorded in Luke 5:1-39 , and proves that the methods of the risen Lord are not unlike those of His earthly ministry. Still He stands on the shore in the morning haze,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 21:1-25

This chapter undoubtedly added later by the writer is a revelation or manifestation of the risen Christ. Here He is seen interested in His disciples, and caring for their immediate needs, and that in spite of the fact that they had gone back to fishing, although He had charged them to tarry until they were endued with power from on high. In all the story of our Lord's dealings with His own disciples nothing is more exquisite than this account of the patience and strength of His dealing with... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 21:1

CHRIST’S RESURRECTION LIFE‘And on this wise shewed he himself.’John 21:1The appearings of Christ after His resurrection teach us many lessons. I. They were designed to convey to the mind some idea as to the manner in which Christ should, at all times, according to His promise, visit and manifest Himself to His people.( a) After He was risen Christ did not once shew Himself to any unconverted person. His visits were exclusively to His Church.( b) Observe how He showed Himself to His people.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 21:1

‘After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.’ ‘After these things Jesus --.’ This is a typical loose Johannine connection (see especially John 6:1). For reference to ‘The Sea of Tiberias’, see also John 6:1, the only other reference to the Sea under that name in the Gospels. Both these factors support authorship by John. ‘Jesus revealed Himself again’, following the ‘revealing’ described earlier in chapter 20. The... read more
