SCRIPTURE

"So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread." — John 21:9 (ASV)

Got out (απεβησαν). As in Lu 5:2.

They see (βλεπουσιν). Vivid historical present.

A fire of coals (ανθρακιαν). See 18:18 for this word. Cf. our "anthracite."

There (κειμενην). Lying as placed, present middle participle of κειμα.

Fish (οψαριον). As in 6:9,11, like προσφαγιον above.

Laid thereon (επικειμενον). So broiling with bread ready (toast).
