“After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.”
After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way — the transitional phrase 'after these things' (meta tauta) locates chapter 21 as supplement to the purpose statement ending chapter 20. The repeated 'showed himself' (ephanerose) emphasizes the revelatory nature of resurrection appearance; epiphany language underscores the transcendent reality breaking into ordinary history. The Sea of Tiberias (also Galilee) returns to the disciples' origins, suggesting restoration and reinstatement.
