“When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than the others do?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Yes, Lord, you know I do!’ ‘Then feed my lambs,’ Jesus said. Jesus asked a second time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter answered, ‘Yes, Lord, you know I love you!’ ‘Then take care of my sheep,’ Jesus told him. Jesus asked a third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, ‘Lord, you know everything. You know I love you.’ Jesus replied, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17 CEV).
