So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, (son) of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, (and) will gently lead those that have their young.
But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.
Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to (the will of) God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
