but then you're missing the difference in the 15th verse and the other 2. i think you, just like me, am stumped..
Joh 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jona, lovest
agape thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love
phileo thee. He saith unto him, Feed
boskomy lambs
arnion.
Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest
agape thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love
phileo thee. He saith unto him, Feed
poimainō my sheep
probaton.
Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest
phileo thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest
phileo thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love
phileo thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed
bosko my sheep
probaton .
