Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon
son of John, do you love me more
than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said,
“you know that I love you.” Jesus
said, “Feed my lambs.”

17. 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of
John, do you love me?” He
answered, “Yes, Lord, you know
that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take
care of my sheep.” 17 The third time
he said to him, “Simon son of
John, do you love me?”

18. Peter was hurt because Jesus
asked him the third time, “Do you
love me?” He said, “Lord, you
know all things; you know that I
love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my
sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when
you were younger you dressed

19. yourself and went where you
wanted; but when you are old you
will stretch out your hands, and
someone else will dress you and
lead you where you do not want to
go.”
