Exegesis

The verse opens with hote oun ēristēsan {Ὅτε οὖν ἠρίστησαν | hó-te oun ē-rís-tē-san} ‘after they had breakfast,’ linking the conversation to the completed meal and carrying the narrative forward from what came before.

In contextJohn 21:15

When, therefore, they had finished breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord ; You know that I love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”
