This episode is to be found in John's Gospel, which says that the risen Jesus questioned Peter three times by the Sea of Galilee, just as Peter had previously denied Jesus three times. Jesus addressed him each time theatrically as "Simon, son of Jonah", not as Peter, the name always previously used by Jesus.John Carroll (The Existential Jesus) says that it was as if the scene was designed to humiliate Peter in front of the other disciples. He goes on to explain why Jesus asked Peter this question three times, although with subtle differences:The first time, Jesus asked about unconditional love (Greek: agape) and the question was comparative: "Do you love me more than these [the other disciples]?" Peter answered that he loves him, but only using the Greek word for friendly or brotherly love (philia).Not satisfied, Jesus again asked Peter, "Do you love me?" Again, Jesus asked about sacred love (agape) but this time did not ask whether Peter loved Jesus more than the others. Again, Peter replied with the Greek word for brotherly love (philia).In the third questioning, Jesus asked only whether Peter had brotherly love for him (philia). He accepted that this was the most that Peter would give. Peter was upset that it has been necessary to ask him three times. The subtext is that what really upset him was that his love was confirmed as less than unconditional.
