Abstract
- The alternation of the words for "love" in John 21:15-17 is a long-standing puzzle that has defied solution. It is suggested in this note that ἀγαπῶ and φιλῶ carry a slight difference of "formality" as a result of their history and that this can account for the interplay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
