Did the disciples recognize Jesus when He appeared on the shore that morning?
No, the disciples did not recognize Jesus when He stood on the shore that morning. Scripture states that Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. They had fished all night and caught nothing, and when He asked if they had any food, they answered no.
Les explains that after Peter said he was going fishing, the others went with him, and they entered into a ship immediately. That night they caught nothing. When morning came, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. He then called them Children and asked if they had any meat or food, and they answered No. Les notes that fishermen have not changed, and these men were no different, likely expressing disgust after catching nothing all night.
