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 Ghost directed the mind of the beloved Apostle to go on, and add this sweet Chapter, for it is indeed a sweet one. It is not said what an interval there was between the former manifestations the Lord Jesus made of himself, and this here recorded; but we are told in a subsequent verse, that this was the third time the Lord had been so gracious. See John 21:14.
