SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:13
Viene pues Jess, y toma el pan, y les da; y asimismo del pez.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 21:13
Verse 13. And giveth them] Eating likewise with them, as Luke expressly says: Luke xxiv. 43.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread , etc.] After they had taken the fish out of the net, and all was prepared for the meal, and the disciples were set down to eat, Christ came and took his place as the master of the feast, and head of the family; and taking up the bread, as was his usual method, he asked a blessing over it, and gave thanks for it. Bezas ancient copy, and one of Stephenss read, and having given thanks he gave, etc. which is agreeably to his usual practice at meals. And giveth them, and fish likewise ; he distributed both bread and fish to his disciples. So, in a spiritual sense, he provides plentifully for his people; gives them to eat of the hidden manna, and tree of life, and leads to fountains of living waters; encourages them to eat and drink freely, what is of his own preparing, and at his own expense provided for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - Christ makes himself known to his people, usually in his ordinances but sometimes by his Spirit he visits them when employed in their business. It is good for the disciples of Christ to be together in common conversation, and common business. The hour for their enterin upon action was not come. They would help to maintain themselves, an not be burdensome to any. Christ's time of making himself known to his people, is when they are most at a loss. He knows the temporal wants of his people, and has promised them not only grace sufficient, but foo convenient. Divine Providence extends itself to things most minute, an those are happy who acknowledge God in all their ways. Those who ar humble, diligent, and patient, though their labours may be crossed shall be crowned; they sometimes live to see their affairs take a happ turn, after many struggles. And there is nothing lost by observin Christ's orders; it is casting the net on the right side of the ship Jesus manifests himself to his people by doing that for them which non else can do, and things which they looked not for. He would take car that those who left all for him, should not want any good thing. An latter favours are to bring to mind former favours, that eaten brea may not be forgotten. He whom Jesus loved was the first that said, It is the Lord. John had cleaved most closely to his Master in his sufferings, and knew him soonest. Peter was the most zealous, an reached Christ the first. How variously God dispenses his gifts, an what difference there may be between some believers and others in the way of their honouring Christ, yet they all may be accepted of him Others continue in the ship, drag the net, and bring the fish to shore and such persons ought not to be blamed as worldly; for they, in their places, are as truly serving Christ as the others. The Lord Jesus ha provision ready for them. We need not be curious in inquiring whenc this came; but we may be comforted at Christ's care for his disciples Although there were so many, and such great fishes, yet they lost none nor damaged their net. The net of the gospel has enclosed multitudes yet it is as strong as ever to bring souls to God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
13. Bread - fish. Both have the article - the loaf, the fish - apparently pointing to the provision which Jesus himself had made.Giveth them. Nothing is said of His partaking Himself. Compare Luke xxiv. 42, 43.
