Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 21:12

"Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord." — John 21:12 (ASV)

Jesus says to them, Come and dine.

The Revised Version is more correct: Come and break your fast, – "Come and have your breakfast."

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.

Or, "Come and break your fast after your long night's toil." How they must have opened their eyes to see the fish ready cooked for them to eat!

And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord.

"It was the Lord," – "the Lord" who had asked them if they had any food, "the Lord" who had filled the net which had previously been empty, "the Lord" who had given them his own fish from his own fire, that they might have breakfast with him. O good Master, if we have been toiling all the week, and have caught nothing, call us now to come and eat of that which you have yourself prepared!
