On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing--(See on Lu 5:11). that night . . . caught nothing--as at the first miraculous draught (see on Lu 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.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Christ's time of making himself known to his people is when they are most at a loss. When they think they have lost themselves, he will let them know that they have not lost him. Weeping may endure for a night; but joy comes, if Christ comes, in the morning.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Jesus stood--(Compare Joh 20:19, 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.
