John 21:4

Jesus stood--(Compare John 20:19, John 20:26).

but the disciples knew not it was Jesus--Perhaps there had been some considerable interval since the last manifestation, and having agreed to betake themselves to their secular employment, they would be unprepared to expect Him.

John 21:3-6

Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing--(See on Luke 5:11).

that night . . . caught nothing--as at the first miraculous draught (see on Luke 5:5); no doubt so ordered that the miracle might strike them the more by contrast. The same principle is seen in operation throughout much of Christ's ministry, and is indeed a great law of God's spiritual procedure with His people.
