15 Depois de terem comido, perguntou Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de João, amas-me mais do que estes outros? Ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Ele lhe disse: Apascenta os meus cordeiros. 16 Tornou a perguntar-lhe pela segunda vez: Simão, filho de João, tu me amas? Ele lhe respondeu: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Pastoreia as minhas ovelhas. 17 Pela terceira vez Jesus lhe perguntou: Simão, filho de João, tu me amas? Pedro entristeceu-se por ele lhe ter dito, pela terceira vez: Tu me amas? E respondeu-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas, tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus lhe disse: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

15 So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my lambs.

16 He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my sheep.

17 He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Love you me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.
