Evidently, Our Lord recognized that Peter was a weak man who would deny him. However, he knew that, in the long run, Peter would act properly and guide his Church in the manner described in the Gospel. The denial of Peter was the turning point in his life.

∙ 8y agoEven the gospel evidence is mixed. On the one hand, Peter is described as the rock on which Jesus will build his church, yet John's Gospel shows the risen Jesus as showing exasperation with Peter, aware that Peter had denied him three times. Jesus symbolically took away from Simon Peter the name 'Peter' that he had previously given him, when he asked whether Peter loved him, each time theatrically calling Peter "Simon, son of Jonah". The Greek language has different words for different types of love, including agape (unconditional love) and philia (brotherly love). In John's Gospel, Jesus implied that the other disciples gave him unconditional love when he asked Peter, "Do you love (agape) me more than these (the other disciples)?" Each time, Peter answered that he loved Jesus, but each time he was only able to offer brotherly love (philia).
At the end of John's Gospel, Peter querulously asks about the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', and Jesus replies, "What is that to thee" (John 21:22
