JOHN CHAPTER 21



Joh_21:1-11 Christ appeareth to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and maketh himself known by a great draught of fishes.

Joh_21:12-14 He eateth before them. Joh_21:15-23 He thrice repeateth his charge to Peter to feed his

flock; foretells the manner of his death; and rebuketh his curiosity concerning John.

Joh_21:24,25 John asserts the truth of his testimony, and that Jesus did many acts besides, too numerous to be recorded.



After three several appearances of Christ to his disciples, which hitherto were all of them in Jerusalem, Christ showed himself again to them in Galilee, whither he had ordered his disciples to go, promising there to meet them, Mat_26:32 Mar_16:7. Here the occasion and circumstances of this his third appearance are related by St. John.
