41
Jesus did not ask Peter this question 3 times
because he was hard of hearing or slow to
comprehend Peter’s answers! The fact that Jesus
asks Peter this question – “do you love me?” –
three times is very significant.
First of all, the number 3 is one of those “good”
numbers in the Bible. Numbers are often used in
the Bible to make a point and to express meaning.
For example the number 40 represents a
significant period of time during which one’s faith
is tested. The number 12 represents wholeness or
fullness. Well, the number 3 also has some
significance. It is on the 3rd day that God saves:
Jonah is released from the belly of the whale on
the 3rd day. Saul, soon to be known as Paul,
regains his eyesight on the 3rd day. Of course,
Jesus is raised from the dead on the 3rd day. Thus,
3 is a “good” number. Unfortunately for Peter, he
denied knowing Jesus 3 times just before Jesus’
crucifixion (Mt 26; Mk 14; Lk 22; Jn 13). Upon
appearing to his disciples after the Resurrection,
however, Jesus brings forgiveness, not retribution.
To those who deserted him before his crucifixion,
Jesus says, “Shalom” which means “Peace.” To
Peter, Jesus offers a three-fold opportunity for
forgiveness, as is described in John 21:15-19. Peter
is hurt when Jesus asks him a 3rd time, most likely
because it made him recall his own three-fold
denial of Jesus. This story emphasizes the
prominence of Peter among the Apostles and
demonstrates how, despite his denial, Peter is
