Study Notes

Lesson 10: John 21:15-19, Jesus & Peter

  • This passage recounts Jesus' conversation with Simon Peter after his resurrection.
  • After breakfast, Jesus asked Peter if he loved him more than other disciples.
  • Peter replied "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you."
  • Jesus instructed Peter to "Feed my lambs."
  • Jesus asked Peter the same question a second time.
  • Peter again answered affirmatively, and Jesus asked him to “Tend my sheep.”
  • Jesus asked Peter a third time.
  • Peter felt hurt but again answered truthfully, and Jesus instructed him to “Feed my sheep.”
  • Jesus predicted Peter's future martyrdom.
  • This prophecy highlights the cost of discipleship and Peter's ultimate faithfulness to Christ.
  • Jesus commanded Peter to follow him.

Agape vs. Phileo Love

  • The Greek words for love used in this passage vary.
  • Jesus initially used agape (self-sacrificial love), while Peter responded with phileo (brotherly affection).
  • By the third question, Jesus used phileo, meeting Peter where he was.
  • This shows Jesus' willingness to accept Peter's sincere, though imperfect, love.

Restoration of Peter

  • Jesus asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?"
  • This parallels Peter's threefold denial during Jesus' trial.
  • This repetition signifies Peter's restoration and forgiveness.

Jesus' Instructions to Peter

  • Jesus' instructions—"Feed my lambs," "Tend my sheep," and "Feed my sheep"—symbolize Peter's pastoral role as a leader of the Church.
  • He is entrusted with caring for the faithful, both nurturing (feeding) and guiding (tending).
  • The threefold commands symbolize the depth of God's forgiveness and Peter's role as a leader.

Key Points and Explanation

  • Jesus' restoration of Peter is central to demonstrating God's willingness to forgive
  • The repetition emphasizes the importance of Christ's mercy and Peter's role as a leader in the Church.

Key Points: John 21:15-17

  • The commands symbolize the pastoral role Jesus entrusted to Peter
  • The instructions reflect the importance of ongoing care for believers

Response to the Kingdom

  • The response to the kingdom is threefold:
    • Respect for the worth of others

    • Fidelity to God and one another

Further Instructions (vv. 10-16)

  • Live in harmony with one another, and be humble

Additional Points

  • Repeated questions are used to emphasize the importance of the matter

Offenses Against the First and Fifth Commandments

  • Aborting a fetus
  • Euthanasia (mercy killing)
  • Suicide

Further Instruction (v. 18-19) and Implications

  • Jesus' discussion of needing to be fastened by others and led somewhere is a prophecy about the future.
  • This foreshadows Peter's martyrdom, underscoring the price of discipleship.

The 10 Commandments

  • Fifth Commandment: Honor your father and mother.
  • Includes: honoring your parents as a way to live out the command. The commandment protects human life and promotes care and respect for life and dignity
