A.T. Robertson Commentary
"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).
