Notes

John 21:7

“It is the Lord!”: John recognized Jesus, likely remembering a similar miracle had happened before (Luke 5:1–11).
Peter, who had taken off his clothes while working, put on his tunic (his outer clothing) to meet the Lord.

John 21:1–25

This final chapter includes a story about the resurrected Jesus in Galilee. It describes the conversation between Peter and Jesus about Peter’s love for him (21:1–14; 21:15–23). The chapter concludes by summarizing the authority and importance of John’s eyewitness account (21:24–25).
