6 And G1161 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Cast G906 the net G1350 on G1519 the right G1188 side G3313 of the ship, G4143 and G2532 ye shall find. G2147 They cast G906 therefore, G3767 and G2532 now G3765 they were G2480 not G3765 able G2480 to draw G1670 it G846 for G575 the multitude G4128 of fishes. G2486
7 Therefore G3767 that G1565 disciple G3101 whom G3739 Jesus G2424 loved G25 saith G3004 unto Peter, G4074 It is G2076 the Lord. G2962 Now G3767 when Simon G4613 Peter G4074 heard G191 that G3754 it was G2076 the Lord, G2962 he girt G1241 his fisher's coat G1903 unto him, (for G1063 he was G2258 naked,) G1131 and G2532 did cast G906 himself G1438 into G1519 the sea. G2281
8 And G1161 the other G243 disciples G3101 came G2064 in a little ship; G4142 (for G1063 they were G2258 not G3756 far G3112 from G575 land, G1093 but G235 as it were G5613 G575 two hundred G1250 cubits,) G4083 dragging G4951 the net G1350 with fishes. G2486
9 As soon G5613 then G3767 as they were come G576 to G1519 land, G1093 they saw G991 a fire of coals G439 there, and G2532 fish G3795 laid G2749 thereon, G1945 and G2532 bread. G740
10 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them, G846 Bring G5342 of G575 the fish G3795 which G3739 ye have G4084 now G3568 caught. G4084
11 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 went up, G305 and G2532 drew G1670 the net G1350 to G1909 land G1093 full G3324 of great G3173 fishes, G2486 an hundred G1540 and fifty G4004 and three: G5140 and G2532 for all there were so many, G5118 yet was G5607 not G3756 the net G1350 broken. G4977

Commentary on John 21 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 21
The evangelist seemed to have concluded his history with the foregoing chapter; but (as St. Paul sometimes in his epistles), new matter occurring, he begins again. He had said that there were many other signs which Jesus did for the proof of his resurrection. And in this chapter he mentions one of these many, which was Christ's appearance to some of his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, in which we have an account,
It is strange that any should suppose that this chapter was added by some other hand, when it is expressly said (v. 24) that the disciple whom Jesus loved is he which testifieth of these things.
Jhn 21:1-14
We have here an account of Christ's appearance to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias. Now,
The evangelist leaves them at dinner, and makes this remark (v. 14): This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself alive to his disciples, or the greater part of them. This is the third day; so some. On the day he rose he appeared five times; the second day was that day seven-night; and this was the third. Or this was his third appearance to any considerable number of his disciples together; though he had appeared to Mary, to the women, to the two disciples, and to Cephas, yet he had but twice before this appeared to any company of them together. This is taken notice of,
Jhn 21:15-19
We have here Christ's discourse with Peter after dinner, so much of it as relates to himself, in which,
Jhn 21:20-25
In these verses, we have,
The evangelist, concluding with Amen, thereby sets to his seal, and let us set to ours, an Amen of faith, subscribing to the gospel, that it is true, all true; and an Amen of satisfaction in what is written, as able to make us wise to salvation. Amen; so be it.
