15SoG3767 whenG3753 they had 1finishedG709 breakfastG709, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 23loveG25 Me moreG4183 than theseG3778?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 4loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “TendG1006 5My lambsG721.”

16He saidG3004 to him againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 6loveG25 Me?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 7loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “8ShepherdG4165 My sheepG4263.”

17He saidG3004 to him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 9loveG5368 Me?” PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 He saidG3004 to him 10the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “Do you 11loveG5368 Me?” And he saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, 12You knowG3609 allG3956 thingsG3956; You knowG1097 that I 13loveG5368 You.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “14TendG1006 My sheepG4263.

18TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, whenG3753 you were youngerG3501, you used to girdG2224 yourselfG4572 and walkG4043 whereverG3699 you wishedG2309; but whenG3752 you growG1095 oldG1095, you will stretchG1614 out your handsG5495 and someoneG243 elseG243 will girdG2224 you, and bringG5342 you whereG3699 you do not wishG2309 to go.”
