Jesus’s Threefold Restoration of Peter

15 When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John,* 21:15–17 Other mss read "Simon, son of Jonah; Mt 16:17; Jn 1:42do you love me more than these? "

"Yes, Lord," he said to him, "you know that I love you."

"Feed my lambs," he told him. 16 A second time he asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love* 21:16 Lk 6:35; Rv 12:11me? "* 21:16 Lk 10:27

"Yes, Lord," he said to him, "you know that I love you."

"Shepherd* 21:16 1Pt 5:2my sheep,"* 21:16 Mt 7:15; Jn 10:11he told him.

17 He asked him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love* 21:17 Mk 14:44; Jn 5:20me? "

Peter was grieved  * 21:17 2Co 2:2 that he asked him the third time, "Do you love me? " He said, "Lord, you know everything;  * 21:17 Jn 16:30 you know that I love you."

"Feed* 21:17 Jn 21:15my sheep," Jesus said.
