Bible Comments

JOHN CHAPTER 21 1 Thessalonians 21:1-11 Christ appeareth to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and maketh himself known by a great draught of fishes. 1 Thessalonians 21:12-14 He eateth before them. 1 Thessalonians 21:15-23 He thrice repeateth his charge to Peter to feed his flock; foretells the manner of his death; and rebuketh his curiosity concerning John. 1 Thessalonians 21:24,25 John asserts the truth of his testimony, and that Jesus did many acts besides, too numerous to be recorded. After three several appearances of Christ to his disciples, which hitherto were all of them in Jerusalem, Christ showed himself again to them in Galilee, whither he had ordered his disciples to go, promising there to meet them, Matthew 26:32 Mark 16:7. Here the occasion and circumstances of this his third appearance are related by St. John.
