Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 21:1-14.
