Healing Questions

Ἡ τριπλῆ τοῦ Κυρίου πρὸς Πέτρον περὶ ἀγάπης ἑρώτησις, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγνοίας τοῦ Δεσπότου ὑπόνοια· μὴ οὕτως τινὲς παραλογιζέσθωσαν· ἀλλὰ τὸ τριπλοῦν τῆς ἀρνήσεως, τῷ τριπλῷ τῆς συγκαταθέσεως, ὁ ἀγαθὸς Ἰατρὸς ἐξωστράκισε. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΠΓ', Τιμοθεῳ Ἀναγηωστῃ

Three times the question is put to Peter about love,1 and it is not to be proposed that this is so on account of the ignorance of the Lord, lest we err, but rather that the good Physician drives out the triple denial with a triple assent. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 103, To Timotheus the Lector 1 Jn 21.15-17
