By the time John wrote this, Peter was already dead. This was the last gospel written.
Luke 5:11 - Jesus provides a full catch and calls two disciples.
John 21:1 - Jesus has risen. Jesus again provides a full catch. John is the first to recognize the Lord. Peter is first in the water.
V15. Agape love was John to Jesus. When Jesus speaking to Peter, used Greek agapako. Arapaho (agape) is deeper love. Peter responds with love word that is friendship and familiar (phileho). Peter and Jesus are probably speaking in Aramaic which is difficult to interpret love easily. So, Jesus repeats question using agape. Peter uses phileho again. Jesus asks a third time using phileho. Peter responds with phileho again. Jesus goes back to agape. Do you love me the way I want you to love me. Tells Peter how he will die, showing him that he will love Him with agape love. Repeats request that they follow Him.
