John Gill
So when they had dined,.... The Persic version adds, Jesus turned his face to Simon Peter; he did not interrupt them whilst they were eating; but when they had comfortably refreshed themselves, he looked at Peter, and singled him out from the rest, and directed his discourse to him; and saith unto Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas; not John, as the Vulgate Latin, and Nonnus, and some copies read;...
Matthew Henry
The evangelist seemed to have concluded his history with the foregoing chapter; but (as St. Paul sometimes in his epistles), new matter occurring, he begins again. He had said that there were many other signs which Jesus did for the proof of his resurrection. And in this chapter he mentions one of these many, which was Christ's appearance to some of his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, in which...

And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. So when they had dined, — When they had broken their fast, — but not until then, for Christ does not talk to men when their hunger...

Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples after that he was risen from the dead. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? “More than this lot of fish, these boats, these nets? You gave them all up for me once, but now you have taken...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. “Feed My Lambs: A Sabbath-school Sermon.” “Do not go after fish any more, but attend to my business: ‘feed my lambs.’ The proof of your greater love to me than to all worldly things will be found in your doing of the work which I have committed to your charge.”
