તેઓ બીજી વખત તેને કહે છે કે, ‘યોનાના દીકરા સિમોન, શું તું મારા પર પ્રેમ રાખે છે? તેણે તેમને કહ્યું કે, ‘હા, પ્રભુ, તમે જાણો છો કે હું તમારા પર હેત રાખું છું.’ ઈસુ તેને કહે છે કે, ‘મારાં ઘેટાંઓની સંભાળ રાખ.’”

In context

14This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.

15So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

16He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

18Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
