A Private Pardon for Peter
Commentators emphasize the significance of Jesus appearing privately to Simon Peter. This appearance, also noted by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:5, is seen as a profound act of grace. After Peter's painful denial, Jesus sought him out first among the apostles, offering a personal moment of restoration and pardon. Scholars see this as a powerful demonstration of Christ's readiness to forgive and comfort the repentant.
