Jn
21:15a ... Then, when they ate, ...
Verse 15 contains three sentences, 9 phrases, and 30 words which is the start of a gematria feeding parable. The first phrase contains these 3 text words, ... Hote oun ēristēsan (When then they breakfasted, ...).
The first 3 words are xxx ... The verb ēristēsan is derived from the noun ariston which can either mean breakfast or a mid-day meal. In
this story Jesus will soon be speaking privately with Simon the Stone
(1925), therefore he needs to be drawn away from the other six disciples.
The best way to do this is to put the six back in the outline of their boat.
Jn
21:15b ... the Jesus says
to the Simon Stone, ... Simon of John,
do you "love" me more than "these"?
We
know Simon's father is named John because in the first chapter of
this gospel Jesus said ... "You are Simon, the Son of John,
you will be called Kephas ... which is translated ... Stone"
(Jn 1:42). The name Simon of John is mistranslated in many Bibles
as "Simon Son of Jonah" (Obviously to force-harmonize
with Matt 16:17). The only problem with this interpretation is that
the word "Jonas" (bar iona) is missing in every single Greek
text in existence for this verse. The Greek text clearly reads Ioannou
which is the genitive singular
masculine word meaning "of John."
The
geometric meaning of "Love" (agape, philio): Jesus asks
Simon a very paradoxical question. It depends on how you define the
word "love." The Greek word agape means "a deep,
sincere love" while phileo means "a fondness or friendly
association." Since this is a Sacred Geometry story that requires
tangency lets define agape as ... (additional
commentary is in the book)
What
or who does the pronoun "these" (toutōn) refer to:
1) the love the other disciples have for Jesus .. 2) the love Simon
has for the other six disciples .. 3) the love Simon has for "fish"
meaning his profession "going fishing."

Jn
21:15c ... he says to him, ... Yes
Lord, you know that I am fond of you, ...
The
Greek word agape means "a deep, sincere love" while
phileo means "a fondness or friendly association."

define agape as ... The additional commentary for this part of the
verse is in the e-book.
Jn
21:15d ... he
says to him, ... Graze my little lambs.
The
Greek verb bosko means to graze livestock with herbage. The
diminutive noun arnion means "little lambs." The
