12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?”
“
Yes,
Lord,”
he answered, “
You know I love You.”
Jesus
replied, “
Feed My lambs.”
16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?”
“
Yes,
Lord,”
he answered, “
You know I love You.”
Jesus
told him, “
Shepherd My sheep.”
17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?”
Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus
had asked him a third time, “
Do you love Me?”
“
Lord,
You know all things,”
he replied. “
You know I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “
Feed My sheep.
18 Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked 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.”
19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.
And after
He had said this,
He told him, “
Follow Me.”
