Why Jesus Asked Peter Three Times in John 21
Jesus questions Peter three times because Peter had denied him three times, and each answer is met with a commission to care for his flock. The risen Lord is reinstating a failed disciple, not gathering information.
Jesus Asks Peter Three Times: Do You Love Me?
Jesus meets Peter on the shore after his denials and asks not for a fresh promise but for love, then commissions him to care for his sheep. The passage shows how a failed disciple is restored and sent again.
