This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
were come = went forth,
to = unto. Greek. eis. App-104.
saw = see. Greek. blepo. App-133.
fire of coals. Greek. anthrakia. Only here and Joh_18:18.
fish. Greek. opsarion, dim. of opson, cooked meat, eaten as a relish. in Joh_6:9, Joh_6:11, the only other passage where it occurs, it is in the plural as in Joh_21:10 below. Here it probably means a little fish,
bread = a loaf. One little fish and one loaf to feed eight persons. A beautiful variant of, and supplement to, the widow's handful of meal and cruse of oil (1Ki 17). It was a type of the food He would supply them with, in the strength of which they would go "many days".
