JOHN 21:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.”
Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.' Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, 'Who are you?' because they knew it was the Lord — Jesus' breakfast invitation (deipneō) is an act of gracious hospitality and restored communion. The disciples' fearful silence (ouk etolma eperōtaō, they dared not ask) and sure knowledge (oidate...hoti ho kyrios) indicates they recognize Jesus through his characteristic actions (command, provision, invitation) rather than through visual identification.
