John 21:12 Cross References - AUV

¹² Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” [But] none of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are you?” because they [already] knew it was the Lord.

³² But His disciples did not understand what He meant and were afraid to ask Him.

⁴⁵ But they did not understand what He was talking about, for it was hidden from them, so that they would not understand its meaning. And they were afraid to ask Him about what He had said.

²⁷ Just about then Jesus’ disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], “What are you looking for?” or “Why are you talking to her?”

¹⁹ Jesus sensed that the disciples wanted to ask Him a question, so He said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves my saying ‘After a little while [longer] you will not see me. Then, a little while [later] you will see me again’?

¹⁵ So, after they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you really love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter answered Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” [Note: Since two different Greek words for “love” are used in this conversation, some scholars see a distinction in their meaning. See Butler, Vol. II, pp. 453-457 for a discussion of these views]. Jesus replied to him, “[Then] feed my lambs.”

⁴¹ not to everyone, but to us [apostles] who were specially chosen by God to be witnesses [of His resurrected body], and to eat and drink with Him after He arose from the dead.
