Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

John 21:10

10. There is again (see on John 21:3) a solemn simplicity in the narrative; John 21:10-14 open in each case without connecting particles: comp. 15. passim and John 20:13-19 [17].

ἀπὸ τ. ὀψ. We have ἐκ τῶν as a nominative John 1:24; John 7:40; John 16:17; Revelation 11:9; and as an accusative, 2 John 1:4; Revelation 2:10 : here we have ἀπὸ τῶν as an accusative. Comp. ἐξ αὐτοῦ, John 6:39. This elliptical form is frequent in S. John, elsewhere rare [18]. Comp. Luke 11:49; Luke 21:16. Ὧν (attraction) ἐπιάσατε νῦν, which ye caught Just now: the aorist is worth keeping. For νῦν comp. John 11:8; ‘Just now the Jews were seeking to stone Thee.’ As their success in fishing depended partly on the Lord’s guidance, partly on their own efforts, so their refreshment comes partly from Him and partly from themselves.
