John 21: 15-19
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to
Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my
lambs." Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He
answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of
my sheep." The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love
me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love
me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus
said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you
dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will
stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where
you do not want to go." Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by
which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"
