This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
10. There is again (see on Joh 21:3) a solemn simplicity in the narrative; Joh 21:10-14 open in each case without connecting particles: comp. 15. passim and Joh 20:13-19 [17].

ἀπὸ τ. ὀψ. We have ἐκ τῶν as a nominative Joh 1:24, Joh 7:40, Joh 16:17; Rev 11:9; and as an accusative, 2Jn 1:4; Rev 2:10 : here we have ἀπὸ τῶν as an accusative. Comp. ἐξ αὐτοῦ, Joh 6:39. This elliptical form is frequent in S. John, elsewhere rare [18]. Comp. Luk 11:49; Luk 21:16. Ὧν (attraction) ἐπιάσατε νῦν, which ye caught Just now: the aorist is worth keeping. For νῦν comp. Joh 11:8; ‘Just now the Jews were seeking to stone Thee.’ As their success in fishing depended partly on the Lord’s guidance, partly on their own efforts, so their refreshment comes partly from Him and partly from themselves.
