John 21:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine, х deute (G1205), aristeesate (G709)] - sweet familiarity, after such a manifestation of His command over the deep and its living contents!

And (or, 'But') none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord - implying that they would have liked Him just to say, "It is I;" but having such convincing evidence, they were afraid of being "upbraided for their unbelief and hardness of heart" if they ventured to put the question.
