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

Providence so ordered it that all that night they should catch nothing, that the miraculous draught of fishes in the morning might be the more wonderful and the more acceptable. In those disappointments which to us are very grievous God has often designs that are very gracious. Man has indeed a dominion over the fish of the sea, but they are not always at his beck;

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He asks as a tender father concerning his children whether they be provided with that which is fit for them, that if they be not, he may take care for their supply. Note, The Lord is for the body, 1 Cor. vi. Christ takes cognizance of the temporal wants of his people, and has promised them not only grace sufficient, but food convenient.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Children--This term would not necessarily identify Him, being not unusual from any superior; but when they did recognize Him, they would feel it sweetly like Himself. have ye any meat?--provisions, supplies, meaning fish. No--This was in His wonted style, making them tell their case, and so the better prepare them for what was coming.
