Exegesis
The opening phrase palin deuteron {πάλιν δεύτερον | pá-lin deú-te-ron} is deliberately redundant, intensifying the sense of repetition and showing that the question is being pressed a second time rather than merely restated.
In context — John 21:16
He said to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord , You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
