Folks,
Please pardon a newbie question:
In John 21:15, Jesus asks Peter, "AGAPAC ME PLEON TAUTWN". Peter replies
"NAI KURIE, SU OIDAS HOTI FILW SE".
Peter has switched verbs. It seems that the appropriate answer would
have been "NAI KURIE, SU OIDAS HOTI AGAPW SE". Is there some reason why
that reply would have been ungrammatical or inappropriate? If not, are
the words "AGAPW" and "FILW" one hundred percent identical in meaning.
Or is there some shade of difference between them?
Ron
