SUPPLEMENTARY PARTICULARS. (John 21:1-23)
Jesus showed himself again--manifested himself again.
and on this wise he manifested himself--This way of speaking shows that after His resurrection He appeared to them but occasionally, unexpectedly, and in a way quite unearthly, though yet really and corporeally. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The sea of Tiberias - Called also the Sea of Galilee, being situated in Galilee. See the notes at Mat 4:18. In this place Jesus had promised to meet them, Mar 14:28; Mar 16:7; Mat 26:32; Mat 28:10. This interview of Jesus is but just mentioned by Matthew Mat 28:16, and is omitted by both Mark and Luke. This is the reason why John relates so particularly what occurred there. Galilee was a retired place where they would be free from danger, and was therefore a safe and convenient situation for Jesus to meet them, in order to give them his last instructions.
On this wise - Thus. In this manner. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Shewed (ἐφανέρωσεν)
This rendering might easily convey merely the sense of appearing; but its meaning is much deeper. Occurring frequently in the New Testament, it is used most frequently of God and Christ, or of men in their relation to these. Thus, of Christ in person while upon earth (Mar 16:12, Mar 16:14; Joh 1:31; Joh 2:11; Pe1 1:20; Jo1 1:2). Of the works of Christ (Joh 2:11; Joh 9:3; Jo1 3:5). Of Christ in redemption (Jo1 3:5). Of Christ in His second coming (Jo1 2:28). Of Christ in glory (Jo1 3:2; Col 3:4). It is used of God. Of His revelation to men of the knowledge of Himself (Rom 1:19). Of His manifestation in Christ (Ti1 3:16). Of His righteousness (Rom 3:21). Of His love (Jo1 4:9). It is used of men. As epistles manifesting the character and spirit of Christ (Co2 3:3; Co2 5:11). In the judgment (Co2 5:10). In all these cases the appearing is not merely an appeal to sense, but is addressed to spiritual perception, and contemplates a moral and spiritual effect. It is the setting forth of the law or will or character of God; of the person or work of Christ; of the character or deeds of men, with a view to the disclosure of their quality and to the producing of a moral impression. Rev., manifested.
Sea
See on Mat 4:18.
Of Tiberias
Not elsewhere in the Gospels. The Synoptists say, Sea of Galilee or Lake of Gennesaret. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Jesus showed himself again - After that our Lord had appeared several times to the women, and to the apostles at Jerusalem, and at the tomb, he bade them go into Galilee, giving them the promise of meeting them there: Mat 28:7; Mar 16:7. This promise we find he fulfilled in the way John relates here. This was the seventh appearance of our Lord after the resurrection. Matthew, Mat 28:16, has but just mentioned it: of it the rest of the evangelists say nothing, and this is the reason why John gives it so particularly. |
16 Then [1161] the eleven [1733] disciples [3101] went away [4198] into [1519] Galilee [1056], into [1519] a mountain [3735] where [3757] Jesus [2424] had appointed [5021] them [846].
10 Then [5119] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]: go [565] tell [518] my [3450] brethren [80] that [2443] they go [5217] into [1519] Galilee [1056], and there [2546] shall they see [3700] me [3165].
32 But [1161] after [3326] I [3165] am risen again [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056].
7 But [235] go your way [5217], tell [2036] his [846] disciples [3101] and [2532] Peter [4074] that [3754] he goeth before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]: there [1563] shall ye see [3700] him [846], as [2531] he said [2036] unto you [5213].
28 But [235] after [3326] that I [3165] am risen [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056].
18 And [1161] Jesus [2424], walking [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], saw [1492] two [1417] brethren [80], Simon [4613] called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], casting [906] a net [293] into [1519] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231].
18 And [1161] Jesus [2424], walking [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], saw [1492] two [1417] brethren [80], Simon [4613] called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], casting [906] a net [293] into [1519] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231].
10 For [1063] we [2248] must [1163] all [3956] appear [5319] before [1715] the judgment seat [968] of Christ [5547]; that [2443] every one [1538] may receive [2865] the things done in [1223] his body [4983], according [4314] to that [3739] he hath done [4238], whether [1535] it be good [18] or [1535] bad [2556].
11 Knowing [1492] therefore [3767] the terror [5401] of the Lord [2962], we persuade [3982] men [444]; but [1161] we are made manifest [5319] unto God [2316]; and [1161] I trust [1679] also [2532] are made manifest [5319] in [1722] your [5216] consciences [4893].
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared [5319] to [3754] be [2075] the epistle [1992] of Christ [5547] ministered [1247] by [5259] us [2257], written [1449] not [3756] with ink [3188], but [235] with the Spirit [4151] of the living [2198] God [2316]; not [3756] in [1722] tables [4109] of stone [3035], but [235] in [1722] fleshy [4560] tables [4109] of the heart [2588].
9 In [1722] this [5129] was manifested [5319] the love [26] of God [2316] toward [1722] us [2254], because [3754] that God [2316] sent [649] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889], that [2443] we might live [2198] through [1223] him [846].
21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396];
16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391].
19 Because [1360] that which may be known [1110] of God [2316] is [2076] manifest [5318] in [1722] them [846]; for [1063] God [2316] hath shewed [5319] it unto them [846].
4 When [3752] Christ [5547], who is our [2257] life [2222], shall appear [5319], then [5119] shall [5319] ye [5210] also [2532] appear [5319] with [4862] him [846] in [1722] glory [1391].
2 Beloved [27], now [3568] are we [2070] the sons [5043] of God [2316], and [2532] it doth [5319] not yet [3768] appear [5319] what [5101] we shall be [2071]: but [1161] we know [1492] that [3754], when [1437] he shall appear [5319], we shall be [2071] like [3664] him [846]; for [3754] we shall see [3700] him [846] as [2531] he is [2076].
28 And [2532] now [3568], little children [5040], abide [3306] in [1722] him [846]; that [2443], when [3752] he shall appear [5319], we may have [2192] confidence [3954], and [2532] not [3361] be ashamed [153] before [575] him [846] at [1722] his [846] coming [3952].
5 And [2532] ye know [1492] that [3754] he [1565] was manifested [5319] to [2443] take away [142] our [2257] sins [266]; and [2532] in [1722] him [846] is [2076] no [3756] sin [266].
5 And [2532] ye know [1492] that [3754] he [1565] was manifested [5319] to [2443] take away [142] our [2257] sins [266]; and [2532] in [1722] him [846] is [2076] no [3756] sin [266].
3 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Neither [3777] hath [264] this man [3778] sinned [264], nor [3777] his [846] parents [1118]: but [235] that [2443] the works [2041] of God [2316] should be made manifest [5319] in [1722] him [846].
11 This [5026] beginning [746] of miracles [4592] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] manifested forth [5319] his [846] glory [1391]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846].
2 (For [2532] the life [2222] was manifested [5319], and [2532] we have seen [3708] it, and [2532] bear witness [3140], and [2532] shew [518] unto you [5213] that eternal [166] life [2222], which [3748] was [2258] with [4314] the Father [3962], and [2532] was manifested [5319] unto us [2254];)
20 Who verily [3303] was foreordained [4267] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], but [1161] was manifest [5319] in [1909] these last [2078] times [5550] for [1223] you [5209],
11 This [5026] beginning [746] of miracles [4592] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] manifested forth [5319] his [846] glory [1391]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846].
31 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] that [2443] he should be made manifest [5319] to Israel [2474], therefore [1223] [5124] am [2064] I [1473] come [2064] baptizing [907] with [1722] water [5204].
14 Afterward [5305] he appeared [5319] unto the eleven [1733] as they [846] sat at meat [345], and [2532] upbraided [3679] them with their [846] unbelief [570] and [2532] hardness of heart [4641], because [3754] they believed [4100] not [3756] them which had seen [2300] him [846] after he was risen [1453].
12 After [1161] [3326] that [5023] he appeared [5319] in [1722] another [2087] form [3444] unto two [1417] of [1537] them [846], as they walked [4043], and went [4198] into [1519] the country [68].
16 Then [1161] the eleven [1733] disciples [3101] went away [4198] into [1519] Galilee [1056], into [1519] a mountain [3735] where [3757] Jesus [2424] had appointed [5021] them [846].
7 But [235] go your way [5217], tell [2036] his [846] disciples [3101] and [2532] Peter [4074] that [3754] he goeth before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]: there [1563] shall ye see [3700] him [846], as [2531] he said [2036] unto you [5213].
7 And [2532] go [4198] quickly [5035], and tell [2036] his [846] disciples [3101] that [3754] he is risen [1453] from [575] the dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], he goeth before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]; there [1563] shall ye see [3700] him [846]: lo [2400], I have told [2036] you [5213].
