This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 21:1. Μετὰ ταῦτα, after these things) More than eight days, as it seems, having intervened, for they had now no longer an expectation of another manifestation: Joh 21:4. John proves by an example that it was in his power to have recorded more miracles than what were written: ch. Joh 20:30. [This chapter is a kind of appendix to the book.-V. g.]-ἐφανέρωσεν ἑαυτὸν, He manifested Himself) This conveys to the reader a more striking idea than ἐφάνη, He appeared, would.-ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, at the sea) In such a way, however, as that He did not Himself enter the sea, after the resurrection: comp. Rev 21:1, “A new earth,-and there was no more sea.”
