The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
John 21:7a, 14
It is easy to think "I will know Jesus when I see him," but after his Resurrection, his disciples and those who had known him intimately did not recognize him- one thing the different accounts of the Resurrection share in common. No one knows Jesus until he revealed himself by calling their name (John 20), breaking the bread (Luke 24), or a miraculous catch (John 21). We cannot be certain of our recognizing Jesus, or when and where he will reveal himself, but we must always be prepared for him.
