Peter, Do You Love Me?

Показать описание
Peter, during Jesus' Passion, denied Jesus before a charcoal fire. It is no coincidence that Jesus sets before Peter, after Jesus' resurrection, another charcoal fire and offers Peter a threefold opportunity to re-commit his love for Jesus. However, is that all that is going on here?

More than just asking if Peter loves him, Jesus is asking if Peter loves him "more than these." Jesus is positioning Peter in a place of primacy above his apostles and asks Peter to become the shepherd over his flock when he leaves to return to the Father.

Notable Quote:
"Now, the reason that is so crucial here in the context of John’s overall gospel is that in John 10, Jesus reveals that he himself is the Good Shepherd. And he even says there will be one flock and one shepherd. And then he turns around (after his resurrection) and makes Peter the shepherd of the flock. So, which is it? Is Jesus the shepherd or is Peter the shepherd? And the answer is both. Jesus is of course the Divine Shepherd, the Supreme Shepherd; we’re going to see that when we look at Jesus’ own words on Good Shepherd Sunday, but Peter is established as the earthly shepherd over the flock of Jesus’ disciples, and that includes (very importantly) the other twelve."

He asked Peter "Do you love me more" because He was reminding him his denial of Him and his unique experience only he had amongst all the others. Peter then, by regreting doing that, had a special unique growth in love no other aposle had. And upon that, Jesus was making him the pope in that moment. He became more experienced....he loved more.

I used to wonder what Jesus meant by, "Do you love me more than these?". Does he mean compared to 'Other disciples or his profession or in general, basic needs like fish, food, etc.? Thanks, Dr. Pitre, for that explanation. It makes complete sense now. On another note, do you have any comments on why Jesus in His first two questions, uses "agape" (self-sacrificial love), while Peter responds with "phileo" (brotherly love). In the third question, Jesus aligns with Peter's response by using "phileo." It sounds as if Jesus was calling Peter to the highest type of love, but when Peter responds with "brotherly love", Jesus settles for that. Additionally, the use of terms like lambs, sheep, and ewes used in the Greek original text was new to me. I'm not entirely sure what is exactly going on, considering the conversations would have originally been in Aramaic, which was written down in Koine Greek when Apostle John wrote the text. Is there any significance here? The Peshitta does not clarify the meaning. English, despite being one of the richest languages, has only one word for love, whereas Greek has multiple terms like "agape, " "phileo, " "eros" and "storge." I'm sure there are other examples in the Scriptures where the Greek language provides insights that might be less apparent in English translations.

First time I’ve heard this enunciation of Jesus’ meaning - the verb ‘to shepherd’ in the middle of the verb ‘to feed’. Thank you, Dr Pitre.

Jesus fed the multitude and the apostles/early Christians with physical food from the miracle of multiplication of the bread (reminiscent of manna from the Exodus) and spiritual food, His teachings. GOD bless you more for your work, Dr. Pitre. ❤

As mentioned it was a big haul of fish, God is clever and it can have more than one meaning, it can also in tandem be a call to reject the material wealth and live like Christ and in so be a more perfect example for His children.

I think he meant do you love me more than the fish. It was a way of saying am I comparable to your craft. He then ups the anti from is my love meaning less.

Yes said Peter, then said Jesus "Feed my sheep" Now to the question what specifically is the food mentioned ?
Does the one who today sits in St.Peters chair, himself know ?
No speculations please

Hi Catholic Productions, which collection is this excerpt by Dr. Brant Pitre taken from? For example, is it "Saint Peter and The Three Stages of the Spiritual Life"? I'm asking because I'd like to subscribe/purchase in order to hear the rest of this recording. Thank you!

Dear Dr. I fear that like Peter you are missing the important meaning of our Lord's conversation in this passage. It might be helpful to focus on the different words for "love" and their etymology as they are used in this exchange. It might also be helpful to examine Arch Bishop Trench's work entitled Synonyms of the New Testament, where on page forty one he makes a distinction between the usage of agapao and philos that is very helpful in the context being discussed. If you choose to examine this passage more carefully keep in mind that the distinction between these two types of love is not found in the verb, but in the subject of the verb. It might not hurt to consider the different types of sheep being used here also. Have Fun

Do you love me more than these?  Who or what are the "these".  The good doctor believes it is the other Apostles. He could be right. But there is just as  much case for saying that the "these" refers to the fish. Look at the context. They had returned to their fishing business. They are fishing. They are eating fish. It is all about the fish. So the risen Jesus is asking Peter if he loves him more than his fishing business / material possessions and he is now about to commission the disciples to become preachers and fishers of men.
