Greek Commentary for John 21:4
Genitive absolute and note present middle participle (dawn coming on and still dark). In Matthew 27:1 the aorist participle Present indicative retained in indirect assertion. [source]
The best texts read the present participle, γινομένης , is coming. Rev., when day was now breaking. The A.V. does not agree so well with the fact that Jesus was not at once recognized by the disciples, owing in part, perhaps, to the imperfect light. [source]
Rev., beach. See on Matthew 13:2. The preposition εἰς , to, makes the phrase equivalent to “Jesus came to the beach and stood there.” [source]
