Yes, it is. Makes a very good sermon, also. Understood only by a few. Dismissing it as being of the flesh, I can never understand what is being expressed. Happens to me often in this forum.

He explained about the apostles:disciples knew Jesus after the flesh. It seems to me a good example is when Jesus asked Peter, “Lovest Thou me?” three times. The word Jesus used or is written he said was “agape” But Peter when he answered was “philio” which is friendship love. Jesus used agape the first two times he asked the question, Peter used philio all three times he answered. In the last time Jesus asked Peter if he loved him he used the word philio, as he was trying to gain Peter’s attention to the difference in the types of love. Peter was answering Jesus from the flesh’s viewpoint but Jesus wanted him to look at it in the eternal everlasting love.
People still think of God and Jesus from a human fleshly point of understanding. And it doesn’t work thAt way. When we realize Jesus is God the Son, then we can move on into thinking about him in the spiritual sense, the eternal sense, the god sense. It comes down to how God’s mysteries in the Bible are made clear to us. This is the key of knowledge that Jesus spoke about the scribes and Pharisees had lost in Luke.
