‏ John 21:12

 Break your fast ( αριστησατε ). First aorist active imperative of  αρισταω from  αριστον, first to breakfast, as here and then later to dine as in Lu 11:37. What a delightful breakfast of fresh broiled fish just caught (verse 10) with the hush of joyful surprise in the presence of the Risen Lord.

 Durst ( ετολμα ) Imperfect active of  τολμαω. The restraint of silence continued.
