And Peter's eye falls on John. And apparently he is thinking of the contrast between John's faithfulness and his own break that betrayal-night. If poor faulty Peter may be so privileged how John would be rewarded. But Jesus quietly turns Peter, and all Peter's numerous kinsfolk of this sort, away from human comparisons. And instead He seeks to turn their hearts to this: He is coming back in person some day for an advance step in the kingdom program. And there they are, walking and talking, along the beach by the blue Galilean waters. The Same Jesus Here Now. An unrecognized Stranger who turns out to be Jesus; an unusual haul of fish gotten in a very unusual way; a warm fire and tasty breakfast for cold hungry men; a tender talk about love and service and sacrifice, and about Jesus' return;--all this is a moving-picture illustration of the meaning of a word, one word. It is a word Jesus used in that last long quiet talk. It's the key-word to this added chapter, occurring three times. In the old version it is the word "_shew_"; in the revision "manifest." "After these things Jesus _manifested_ Himself again ... and He _manifested_ Himself on this wise." "This is now the third time that Jesus was _manifested_ to the disciples after that He was risen from the dead."[137] The word used underneath literally means "to make manifest or _visible_ or know, what has been hidden or unknown."[138] Then each time it is used it gets its local colouring from its connection. The simple tremendous meaning here clearly is this: Jesus let Himself _be seen_ and known. _He did not come_. He was there. But their eyes couldn't see Him. In effect He was hidden, not seeable. Now the change that comes is this: _He is seen_. And He is seen in His true native character; so certain results follow. He had said, "I will _manifest_ Myself."[139] And this was now the third time that He did it, to the disciples, after that He was risen. This is _the advance illustration of the Book of Acts_. This is the tremendous thing He is burning into their hearts through eyes and ears:--_He is always present_. He, whose power they had felt so stupendously, and whose warm sympathy so tenderly, _He is always with them_. The coming of the Holy Spirit meant just this. The Spirit would be as Jesus' other self, as Jesus Himself. The one thing the Spirit would do would be to manifest, to _shew openly_, the power of Jesus. Then four pictures pass before their eyes to illustrate the meaning, a fishing picture and a breakfast picture _in action_; then _in words_, a love-service-suffering picture, and a picture of Jesus returning in person seen by all to take an advance-step.
