Jesus had appointed to meet His disciples in Galilee; and soon after the Passover week was ended, they bent their steps thither. Their absence from Jerusalem during the feast would have been interpreted as disaffection and heresy, therefore they remained till its close; but this over, they gladly turned homeward to meet the Saviour as He had directed.

Dette kapitel er bygget op over Joh 21,1-22
Jesus havde truffet bestemmelsen om at møde sine disciple i Galilæa, og snart efter at påskeugen var afsluttet, begav disciplene sig derhen. Hvis de havde været fraværende fra Jerusalem under højtiden, ville det være blevet udlagt som oprørskhed og kætteri. Derfor blev de, indtil den var forbi; men da denne tid var gået, drog de glade hjemad for at mødes med Frelseren, som han havde sagt.
