John 21:15

Peter Is Restored Three Times

¹⁴ Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead. ¹⁵ Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food. ¹⁶ Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.
