Study Note

The third repetition of Jesus's question — 'Lovest thou me?' — and Peter's grieved answer and commission ('Feed my sheep') is one of the New Testament's most psychologically penetrating scenes. The three-fold restoration of Peter's calling corresponds to his three-fold denial (John 18:17, 25, 27), transforming the site of failure into the site of recommissioning. The shift in the Greek verb (agapaō in Jesus's first two questions, phileō in the third) has generated extensive scholarly debate about whether a distinction in love-type or a descent to Peter's own level of language is intended. The scene grounds authentic pastoral authority in personal love for the shepherd, not merely institutional appointment.
