15 E, depois de terem jantado, disse Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me mais do que estes? E ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeiros.

16 Tornou a dizer-lhe segunda vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Disse-lhe: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

17 Disse-lhe terceira vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Simão entristeceu-se por lhe ter dito terceira vez: Amas-me? E disse-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes tudo; tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

15 When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, {son} of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

16 He says to him again a second time, Simon, {son} of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

17 He says to him the third time, Simon, {son} of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.
