kōt : This expression is found in John 21:7 where the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version have "coat." John here, after representing Peter as "naked" ( γυμνός , gumnós ), pictures him as girding on his "coat" (ἐπενδύτης , ependútēs ), literally, "upper garment," and not at all specifically a "fisher's coat." See DRESS; UPPER GARMENT , etc.
