John
21:1-3 After these things Emmanuel
showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias and on this
wise showed he himself. 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 said unto them, I go a fishing. They
say unto him, We also go with you. They went forth and entered into a ship
immediately and that night they caught nothing.
John
21:4-6 But when the morning was now come, Emmanuel stood on the shore,
but the disciples knew not that it was Emmanuel. Then Emmanuel said unto
them, Children, have you any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto
them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. They
cast therefore and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude
of fishes.
John
21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Emmanuel loved.(John).said
unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he girt.(wrapped
around and fastened).his fisher's
coat unto him, for he was naked and did cast himself into the sea.
Adam
Clarke's Commentary:."It
is likely that they were in very shallow water and as they were only two
hundred cubits from the land, about
one hundred and thirty-two English yards, it is possible that Peter only
stepped into the water that he might assist them to draw the boat to land,
which was now heavily laden. It is not likely that he went into the water
in order to swim ashore. Had he intended this, it is not to be supposed
that he would have put his great coat on, which would then have been an
essential hinderance to him in getting to shore."
John
21:8-11 And the other disciples came in a little ship, for they were
not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits, dragging the net
with fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
coals there and fish laid thereon and bread. Emmanuel said unto them, Bring
of the fish which you have now caught. Simon Peter went up and drew the
net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three. And for
all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
John
21:12 Emmanuel said unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples
durst.(dare,
to be bold).ask him, Who are
you? Knowing that it was the Lord.
John
21:13 Christ then came and took bread and gave it to them and fish
likewise.
John
21:14 This is now the
third time that Christ showed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.(*).
John
21:15 So when they had dined, Emmanuel
the Christ
said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love you me more than
these?.(referring
to the success Peter had fishing, see verses 1-14; after Emmanuel's resurrection,
the disciples went back to their old lifestyle of fishing, etc., but they
had another purpose which Christ here makes them well aware of).He
said unto him, Yea, Lord, you know that I love you. He said unto him, Feed
my lambs.
John
21:16 He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love
you me? He said unto him, Yea, Lord, you know that I love you. He said
unto him, Feed my sheep.
John
21:17 He said unto him the third time, Simon,
son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the
third time, Love you me? And he said unto him, Lord, you know all things;
you know that I love you. Emmanuel said unto him, Feed
my sheep.
John
21:18 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, When you were young, you girded yourself and walked
where you wanted, but when you shall be old, you shall stretch forth your
hands and another shall gird you and carry you where you would not.
Adam
Clarke's Commentary:.'You
shalt stretch forth your hands' Wetstein observes
that it was a custom at Rome to put the necks of those who were to be crucified
into a yoke and
to stretch out their hands and fasten them to the end of it and having
thus led them through the city they were carried out to be crucified. Thus
then Peter was girded (bound), chained and carried (forced) whither
he would not want to go, not that he was unwilling to die for Christ, but
he was a man, he did not love death, but he loved his life less than he
loved God.
Barnes
Notes: 'carry you',
compel you.
John
21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he said unto him, Follow me.
1Corinthians
11:1.
John
21:20 Then Peter turning around, sees the disciple
whom Emmanuel loved, following, the disciple which also leaned on his
breast at supper and said, Lord, which is he that is going to betray you?
John
21:21-23 Peter seeing him said to Emmanuel, Lord and what shall this
man do? Emmanuel said unto him, If I will that he tarry
till I come, what is that to you? follow you me. Then went this saying
abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; yet Emmanuel
said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till
I come, what is that to you?
We
all have a hard time getting correct exactly what others say. It's important
to listen and get the intent
of what another may be saying.
John
21:24 This is the disciple which testified of these things and wrote
these things and we know that his testimony is true.
John
21:25 And there are also many other things which Emmanuel did.(why.He
came to Earth), the which, if they should be written every
one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen.
