John 21:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 This is now the third[a] time Jesus was manifested to the disciples after having arisen from the dead.
At Breakfast, Jesus Restores Peter. Do You Love Me? Feed My Sheep
15 Then when they ate-breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you devotedly-love[b] Me more than these[c]?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord. You know that I affectionately-love You”. He says to him, “Be feeding My lambs”. 16 He says to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you devotedly-love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord. You know that I affectionately-love You”. He says to him, “Be shepherding My sheep”.
