John 21:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, along with the fish.

¹⁴ This was now the third time [^Csee 20:19–23; 20:26–29] Jesus ·showed [revealed; manifested] himself to his ·followers [disciples] after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus Talks to Peter

¹⁵ When they finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” [^C“These” probably refers to the other disciples (rather than the fishing gear), and could mean “Do you love me more than you love your friends?” or “Do you love me more than they love me?” The latter is more likely. This whole scene is the restoration of Peter after he had boasted of his loyalty to Jesus and then denied him.]

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
