Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Joh 21:12 - Break your fast

Break your fast ( aristēsate ).

First aorist active imperative of aristaō from ariston , first to breakfast, as here and then later to dine as in Luk 11:37. What a delightful breakfast of fresh broiled fish just caught (Joh 21:10) with the hush of joyful surprise in the presence of the Risen Lord.

Robertson: Joh 21:12 - Durst

Durst ( etolma )

Imperfect active of tolmaō . The restraint of silence continued.

Vincent: Joh 21:12 - Dine

Dine ( ἀριστήσατε )

Rather, breakfast . In Attic Greek ἄριστον signified the mid-day meal; the evening meal being known as δεῖπνον . The regular hour for the ἄριστον cannot be fixed with precision. The drift of authority among Greek writers seems to be in favor of noon. The meal described here, however, evidently took place at an earlier hour, and would seem to have answered more nearly to the ἀκρατίσμα , or breakfast of the Greeks, which was taken directly upon rising. Plutarch, however, expressly states that both names were applied to the morning meal, and says of Alexander, " He was accustomed to breakfast (ἠρίστα ) at early dawn, sitting, and to sup (ἐδείπνει ) late in the evening." In Mat 22:4, it is an ἄριστον to which the king's wedding-guests are invited.

Vincent: Joh 21:12 - Ask

Ask ( ἐξετα.σαι )

Rev., inquire . Implying careful and precise inquiry. It occurs only three times in the New Testament; of Herod's command to search diligently for the infant Christ (Mat 2:8), and of the apostles' inquiring out the worthy members of a household (Mat 10:11).

Wesley: Joh 21:12 - Come ye and dine

Our Lord needed not food.

Wesley: Joh 21:12 - And none presumed

To ask a needless question.

JFB: Joh 21:12-14 - none . . . durst ask him, Who art thou, knowing it was the Lord

Implying that they would have liked Him just to say, "It is I"; but having such convincing evidence they were afraid of being "upbraided for their unbelief and hardness of heart" if they ventured to put the question.

Clarke: Joh 21:12 - Come and dine

Come and dine - Δευτε αριϚησατε . Though this is the literal translation of the word, yet it must be observed that it was not dinner time, being as yet early in the morning, Joh 21:4; but Kypke has largely shown that the original word is used by Homer, Xenophon, and Plutarch, to signify breakfast, or any early meal, as well as what we term dinner. It might perhaps appear singular, otherwise it would be as agreeable to the use of the Greek word, to have translated it, come and breakfast

Clarke: Joh 21:12 - Durst ask him

Durst ask him - Ever since the confession of Thomas, a proper awe of the Deity of Christ had possessed their minds.

Calvin: Joh 21:12 - And not one of his disciples dared to ask him

12.And not one of his disciples dared to ask him It may be inquired, What hindered them? Was it shame arising from reverence, or was it any thing else? But if Christ saw that they were in a state of uncertainty, he ought to remove their doubt, as he had done on many other occasions. I reply, there was no other reason for shame, but because they were not sufficiently certain that he was the Christ; for it is not usual with us to inquire about matters that are doubtful and obscure. The Evangelist, therefore, means that the disciples did not ask Christ, because they were afraid of doing him wrong; so plain and manifest were the signs by which he had made himself known to them.

Poole: Joh 21:12 - Come and dine

It was in the morning, and may as well be translated, Come and break your fasts, as

Come and dine They now knew it was the Lord, if not by his face and voice, yet by this miracle; therefore they durst not ask him, for fear of a sharp reproof, after he had by such a miraculous operation made himself known to them.

Haydock: Joh 21:12 - And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him, who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord

And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him, who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. It is likely he appeared to them with a countenance different, and brighter than before his death; yet they were presently so convinced it was Jesus, that they were ashamed to ask or doubt of it. (Witham)

Gill: Joh 21:12 - Jesus saith unto them, come and dine // And none of the disciples durst ask him, who art thou

Jesus saith unto them, come and dine,.... One would think it should rather have been said, come and take a breakfast than a dinner, since it was so early in the morning: but Grotius has observed, out of Homer, that αριστον, is used for food taken in a morning; so that it may signify here, not what we properly call dining, but eating a morning's meal; and may be an emblem of that spiritual refreshment believers enjoy with Christ in his house and ordinances now, and of those everlasting pleasures they will partake with him in the resurrection morn: and it is to be observed, that he does not say go and dine, but come and dine; that is, along with himself: he does not send his disciples elsewhere for food, but invites them to come to him, to hear his word, which is food for faith, to wait in his house, where plenty of provision is made, and to attend on his ordinances, and in all to feed upon himself, and to feed with him; to all which they are heartily welcome.

And none of the disciples durst ask him, who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord: to ask such a question was altogether unnecessary, and would have been impertinent, and they might justly have been upbraided and rebuked for it: it would have looked like insolence, or unbelief, or both, and that greatly aggravated, when it was so clear a case that it was the Lord; who might be known by his voice and person, especially when they came near to him, and also by the miracles which he wrought: so at the last day, when every eye shall see him coming in the clouds of heaven, none will ask who he is; all will know him.
