And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God: and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself. Jesus loved to show himself to his people. Of old, his delights were with the sons of men; so, now that he had risen from the dead, he was not ashamed to visit his brethren, and he did not disdain to make himself known to...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. As John was the writer of this record, he did not put his own name there, but merely mentioned “the sons of Zebedee.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. He had told them to go into Galilee, and given them the promise, “There shall ye see me.” So now they were by the Galilean lake they were keeping their tryst with Christ, and as he always keeps his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. Men who are in a right state of heart cannot willingly be idle; so, if these apostles cannot preach for a time, they will go back to their old employment, and seek to catch fish. Joh_21:3. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. Their Master had told them to wait, but they could not wait. Surely when they were in Galilee by his command, they might have trusted him to supply their needs; but their faith was slack, so Peter said, “I go a fishing,” and the others were much of the same mind;...

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. We must remember that a great change had taken place in him, and that the disciples were at some distance from the shore. They saw a person standing there, but they were not sure who it was.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. They were thinking of fishing, so they saw boats, and nets, and the sea; if they had been thinking of Jesus, they would have looked for him, and when he came, they would have known him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Yet he was their old familiar friend. Was it their unbelief? Let us hope not. Was it that a remarkable change had passed over the Master — that, after his resurrection from the dead, there was a glory about him quite unusual, such as they had...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? This is not an exact translation of our Saviour’s words; he might too readily have revealed his identity if he had spoken like that. His question was more like a common fisherman’s salutation, “Lads, have you any food?” Joh_21:5. They answered him, No. Jesus likes us to admit that we do not...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? Just the kind of language you would expect from him — to call them children, and to inquire even about their temporal wants. For evermore the Lord had an eye to the temporal condition of the twelve, as well as to their spiritual. “Have ye any meat?”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Christ knows where fishes are. He knows where you are then, my friend, though you do not, perhaps, know where you are yourself. You have get out of your...
