Study Note
The threefold question 'do you love me?' addressed to Peter parallels the threefold denial of the Passion narrative, and Peter's threefold confession of love functions as a rehabilitation and recommissioning rather than merely an emotional exchange. The debate over Jesus's use of agapaō (divine love) versus Peter's phileō (affectionate love) — and whether the distinction is significant or merely stylistic — has generated considerable commentary, though most modern scholars view the Fourth Gospel's use of the two terms as largely synonymous in this context. The commission 'feed my lambs' links love for Christ directly to pastoral care of the community — love is authenticated not by profession but by costly service. The verse grounds Christian leadership in personal relationship with Christ rather than in ability or status.
