At the same time, it may reasonably be doubted whether John used synonyms here only for stylistic reasons. Context analysis of the dialogue between Jesus and Peter points to allusions to their conversation in John 13, 31–38 and Jesus’ definition of love cited in John 15, 12–14. The identification of the references leads to the conclusion that the alternation of the synonymous verbs reflects the pattern ἀγάπη-φίλοι observed in the latter passage.}, type={Artykuł}, title={The relationship between the verbs αγαπαω and φιλεω in John 21, 15–17}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125514/PDF-MASTER/2022-MNDR-04.pdf}, doi={10.24425/meander.2022.142249}, keywords={Gospel of John, ἀγαπάω, φιλέω, Biblical Greek, synonyms, New Testament}, }
