This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Manifested himself (ephanerosen heauton). First aorist active indicative of phaneroō with the reflexive pronoun (cf. Joh 7:4; Joh 13:4). For the passive see Joh 1:31; Joh 21:14. Jesus was only seen during the forty days now and then (Act 1:3), ten instances being recorded. The word phaneroō is often used of Christ on earth (Joh 1:31; Joh 2:11; 1Pe 1:20; 1Jo 1:2), of his works (Joh 3:5), of the second coming (1Jo 2:28), of Christ in glory (Col 3:4; 1Jo 3:2).
At (epi). By or upon.
Of Tiberias (tēs Tiberiados). As in Joh 6:1 instead of the usual “Sea of Galilee.” Tiberias, the capital city of Galilee, gave this epithet to the Sea of Galilee. This is not the appearance in Galilee prearranged by Jesus (Mar 16:7; Mat 28:7, Mat 28:16).
