Exegesis
The verse is structured as a tightly repeated exchange, with legei {λέγει | lé-gei} ‘he says’ introducing the opening question and to triton {τὸ τρίτον | tò trí-ton} marking the deliberate third repetition.
In context — John 21:17
He spoke to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do You love Me?” Peter was grieved because He had spoken to him the third time, “Do You love Me?” He said to Him, “Lord , You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.”
