Exegesis
What follows is a carefully ordered visual list: anthrakian keimenēn {ἀνθρακιὰν κειμένην | anthrakián keiménēn}, opsarion epikeimenon {ὀψάριον ἐπικείμενον | opsárion epikeímenon}, and arton {ἄρτον | árton}. The participles keimenēn and epikeimenon function attributively, marking the fire and fish as already arranged before the observers notice them.
In context — John 21:9
Once they were on land, they saw a charcoal fire set there, and a fish resting on it, and bread.
