John 18:17An Understandable Version (2005 edition)So, the slave-girl gatekeeper asked Peter, “Are you not one of this man’s disciples, too?” “[No], I am not,” Peter replied. See the chapter |
So, after they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you really love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter answered Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” [Note: Since two different Greek words for “love” are used in this conversation, some scholars see a distinction in their meaning. See Butler, Vol. II, pp. 453-457 for a discussion of these views]. Jesus replied to him, “[Then] feed my lambs.”
