When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon

Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than

these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love

you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to

him 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, "Tend my sheep." He said to him

the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?"

Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third

time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you

know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus)

said to him, "Feed my sheep."
