John 21:14

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:14

This is now —or, as Meyer puts it, this time already is— the third time that Jesus was manifested (passive, not active, as in John 21:1 ) to the £ disciples, after that he was risen from the dead ; or, when he had been raised from the dead. The implication is that there had up to this time been no other manifestation to groups of his disciples than those which John bad related. Therefore those other occurrences mentioned by Luke, Matthew, and Paul must be supposed to lie still in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 21:9-14

John 21:9-14. As soon as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals The effect of Christ’s wonder-working power; and fish laid thereon, and bread Which also he had prepared by a miracle, that they might see how easily he could make provision for them, when they were destitute of the ordinary means of supply. We need not be curious in inquiring whence this fire, fish, and bread came, any more than whence the meat came which the ravens brought Elijah. He that could multiply the loaves... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 21:1-25

165. At the Sea of Tiberias (John 21:1-25)The disciples then returned to Galilee to wait for Jesus as they had been instructed (see Matthew 26:32; Matthew 28:10). Seven of them had spent an unsuccessful night fishing on Lake Galilee (the Sea of Tiberias) when Jesus appeared at the shore. He called out some directions to them, and although they did not recognize him they did as he said. As a result they caught a large number of fish (John 21:1-6).No doubt some of the disciples recalled a similar... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 21:14

John 21:14. This is now the third time— The evangelist does not say that this was the third time that Jesus appeared, but the third time that he appeared to his disciples; that is, to his apostles in a body; for, in reality, it was his seventh appearance. Besides, St. John himself has taken notice of three appearances before this. Grotius explains it of the third day of his appearance; for he had first appeared to several on the day of his resurrection; then on a second day,—after eight days,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 21:14

John concluded the narration of this incident by identifying it as the third instance of Jesus’ self-manifestation to His disciples after His resurrection. This verse forms an inclusio with John 21:1 that sets this incident off as distinct.John said that this was the third post-resurrection appearance "to the disciples" (i.e., the apostles, cf. John 20:19-23; John 20:26-29). Chronologically this was at least Jesus’ seventh post-resurrection appearance (cf. John 20:11-18; Matthew 28:8-10; 1... read more
