John 21 Bible study: Follow me

The chapter opens, "After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way." (21:1) (tap revealed). John's Gospel has named this sea before: "the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias" (6:1). The next verse names who were together: "Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples" (21:2). The verse doesn't name the two others, and these notes don't either. "Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.”" (21:3), and "That night, they caught nothing" (21:3) (tap caught). "But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus" (21:4). Jesus says to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" (21:5) (tap Children), and says, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." (21:6). "They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish" (21:6). Then "That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”" (21:7), and Simon Peter "threw himself into the sea" (21:7), while "the other disciples came in the little boat" (21:8), "dragging the net full of fish" (21:8).

Strong's: "to render apparent (literally or figuratively)". Thayer: "to make manifest or visible or known what has been hidden or unknown". The chapter has the verb three times, twice in its first verse and once in 21:14: "Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way." (21:1), and "This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead" (21:14). John's Greek has it nine times (counted in RP2018), and every time the WEB has reveal or revealed. At Cana, "This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory" (2:11).
