What is Octopodes
In Greek, Jesus starts asking if Peter loves him with the Greek word Agape, which means unconditional/self-sacrificing love. Peter responds "Yes, Lord; you know I love you", but uses the word Phileo, which means brotherly/friendship love. Jesus asks again using agape and Peter responds with Phileo. The third time Jesus asks with Phileo and Peter responds with Phileo.
This foreshadows Peter's martyrdom and the need for him to have that self-sacrificial love for Jesus in order to be the leader he must be for the early Church.
