John 21:12

“Jesus saith unto them, come and dine, etc.] One would think it should rather have been said, come and take a breakfast than a dinner, since it was so early in the morning: but Grotius has observed, out of Homer, that ariston, is used for food taken in a morning; so that it may signify here, not what we properly call dining, but eating a morning’s meal; and may be an emblem of that spiritual refreshment believers enjoy with Christ in his house and ordinances now, and of those everlasting pleasures they will partake with him in the resurrection morn: and it is to be observed, that he does not say go and dine, but come and dine; that is, along with himself: he does not send his disciples…”

“none . . . durst ask him, Who art thou, knowing it was the Lord--implying that they would have liked Him just to say, "It is I"; but having such convincing evidence they were afraid of being "upbraided for their unbelief and hardness of heart" if they ventured to put the question.”

“Come ye and dine - Our Lord needed not food. And none presumed - To ask a needless question. John 21:14”
