Joh 21:12. Δεῦτε, come) The Lord receives His disciples at the banquet. In Joh 21:9 there is mentioned the preparation for dinner (or rather luncheon, or breakfast, ἄριστον, the early meal).-ἀριστήσατε, breakfast or dine) viz. ye. Jesus had no necessity to eat. From the mention of breakfast or luncheon (the morning meal), with which comp. Joh 21:4, “the morning,” it is evident the manifestation (Joh 21:1) of Him lasted many hours.-οὐδεὶς, none) Implying the great solemnity of this feast.-εἰδότες, knowing) Syllepsis.[403]

[403] The sense being regarded in the construction more than the words. The participle plural agreeing with μαθηταὶ understood, taken out of οὐδεὶς μαθητῶν.-E. and T.
