 In John Chapter 21, The Disciples catch 153 large fish and bring them to The Shore of Galilee. There they find Jesus already has fish cooking on a fire. They come together and break bread.... Galilee has been the location where these 7 disciples were born and raised. Jesus had previously appeared to them twice while they remained in Jerusalem. After this visit with the disciples, they return to Jerusalem and await The Power of The Holy Spirit which will come into them on The Day of Pentecost.... (In Jerusalem, Jesus appears once more and then ascends into Heaven.)

 Jesus loves them, but as He did so often with Peter, He is confronting and teaches him to care for his fellow believers. The Book of Hebrews relates this same theme of loving discipline, (you might want to look at the many Pages which show Hebrews and it’s main theme of The Day of Atonement....)      

 Do You LOVE ME more than These

 Earlier in Joh 18:18 Peter was warming himself near a fire. As Jesus was being beaten, Peter denied The Lord 3 Times (Joh 13:38 - as Jesus foretold.) When Peter thought on these things, he wept.... Mark 14:72

 Joh 21:9 After They caught Many Big Fish, The Disciples and Jesus gathered around another fire,  on the shore of Galilee.  3 times Jesus asks Peter Do You Love ME? .

2 times Jesus uses the Greek Word Agape (love) and the 3rd time HE uses the Greek word Phileo (love.) Peter always answers using Phileo....   

 At the time, Peter could only relate as a close friend. After The Holy Spirit was poured out in Acts 2, Peter received The Agape Love as Fruit from The Holy Spirit.

Peter went on to be a Leading Apostle in The Early Church at Jerusalem. (Read the Book of Acts for details.)
