What does John 21:14 mean?

After Jesus' crucifixion, the disciples hid in fear. And yet, the resurrected Christ was able to appear to them, in his glorified body (John 20:19, 26). Most recently, Jesus has arrived in Galilee, calling out to the disciples as they fish (John 21:1–8). Between the miracle of a netful of fish and seeing Him up close, there is no question that this is really Christ (John 21:9–13).

While Jesus had shown Himself to others (Luke 24:13–16), including the women who came to His tomb (Matthew 28:9–10), this is the third time He has appeared to a group of disciples. His purpose here is not merely to meet His followers, but to give Peter an important message (John 21:17–19).
