Contextual Overview

1 Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin),Didymus">[fn] Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.Matthew 4:21; John 1:45;">[xr] 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night. 4 Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.John 20:14;">[xr] 5 Jesus said to them, "Children, you don't have any fish, do you?" They answered him, "No."Luke 24:41;">[xr] 6 He told them, "Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchfind">[fn] some." So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.Luke 5:4,6-7;">[xr] 7 That disciple whom Jesus kept loving said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on his clothes, for he was practically naked, and jumped into the sea.John 13:23; 20:2;">[xr] 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yardstwo hundred cubits">[fn] away from the shore. 9 When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus told them, "Bring me some of the fish you've just caught."

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Luke 24:42, Luke 24:43, Acts 10:41

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jesus then cometh and taketh bread,.... After they had taken the fish out of the net, and all was prepared for the meal, and the disciples were set down to eat, Christ came and took his place as the master of the feast, and head of the family; and taking up the bread, as was his usual method, he asked a blessing over it, and gave thanks for it. Beza's ancient copy, and one of Stephens's read, "and having given thanks he gave", c. which is agreeably to his usual practice at meals.

And giveth them, and fish likewise he distributed both bread and fish to his disciples. So, in a spiritual sense, he provides plentifully for his people; gives them to eat of the hidden manna, and tree of life, and leads to fountains of living waters; encourages them to eat and drink freely, what is of his own preparing, and at his own expense provided for them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread ... - It is not said that Jesus himself ate with them, but he gave them food. The design of this interview seems to have been to convince them that he had truly risen from the dead. Hence, he performed a miracle before they suspected that it was he, that there might be no room to say that they had ascribed to him the power of the miracle through friendship and collusion with him. The miracle was such as to satisfy them of its truth, and was, in accordance with all his works, not for mere display, but for utility. He remained with them, was with them at their meal, conversed with them, and thus convinced them that he was the same Friend who had died.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 21:13. And giveth them — Eating likewise with them, as Luke expressly says: Luke 24:43.
