I love the insight into the words used for love here that you shared. I hadn't gotten into the study of the original text of this passage yet so thank you for giving me something else to look into.

I didn't get to examine it, though, because I was eager to hear what you had to say. I've also read from other sources that through the translation of the text into English, some meaning was lost. When Jesus asks Peter if he loves him the first time, he asked using a word that meant a deep love, much like the love God has for us. Peter returned by saying that he did indeed love Jesus, but it was only a love used in terms of friendship. Jesus asked again (still using the deep-love term) and got the same friendship response. Lastly, Jesus stepped down to Peter's level and asked, in terms of friendship, if Peter loved him (to which Peter answered "yes".) I found this fascinating for two reasons: 1) Jesus asked Peter three times here, and later on upon Jesus' death, Peter denies Jesus three times and 2) I'm intrigued that Peter was saddened that Jesus asked him three times about his love. I believe a good chunk of that sadness comes from the fact that we as humans are incapable of having that deep Godly love that Jesus proposed in the first two questions, and so for Jesus to ask Peter if Peter loved Jesus as much as Jesus loves Peter, it is understandably painful to be asked to share a love that you are incapable of (of course, it's still something to strive for). Sorry this was so long. Just thought I'd get it out there. Maybe it’s just the passage, but I found it neat that the thing I found to be peculiar in the passage was them same thing you did.
