What happensPermalink
Jesus prepares breakfast on the beach for some of the disciples. Jesus discusses love with Peter. John tells us the book is not big enough to tell the whole story.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus, as the true shepherd, formally deputizes Peter as a shepherd under Him to feed and care for His sheep. He may have prophesied Peter’s death by crucifixion.
Key versePermalink
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
