Verse 9
So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
Westcott discerned that "The very manner in which the charcoal fire and fish and bread upon it are presented here suggests that they were provided supernaturally."[8] In a moment, Jesus would instruct them to take care of the catch, not with a view to their helping provide breakfast, however, for he had already done that. Hendriksen stressed that " John 20:13 indicates there was only one bread-cake and only one fish; and the similarity to John 6:11 implies that in both cases we are dealing with a miracle of multiplication."[9]
