Bible: John 21:15-19
Peter’s Restoration
21:15 Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, 1 do you love me more than these do?” 2 He replied, 3 “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” 4 Jesus 5 told him, “Feed my lambs.” 21:16 Jesus 6 said 7 a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He replied, 8 “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus 9 told him, “Shepherd my sheep.” 21:17 Jesus 10 said 11 a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed 12 that Jesus 13 asked 14 him a third time, “Do you love me?” and said, 15 “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus 16 replied, 17 “Feed my sheep. 21:18 I tell you the solemn truth, 18 when you were young, you tied your clothes around you 19 and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up 20 and bring you where you do not want to go.” 21:19 (Now Jesus 21 said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter 22 was going to glorify God.) 23 After he said this, Jesus told Peter, 24 “Follow me.”
