there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 12 Jesus saith unto them, “bCome and dine.” And Acts 10.

none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art 13 thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus

then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, 14 and fish likewise. This is now the third time

that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after
15 that he was risen from the dead. So when

they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more
“ than these ?” He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;

thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
16 him, “ Feed my lambs.” He saith to him again

the second time, “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
“ thou me?" He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;

thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto Acts 20.
17 him, “? Feed my sheep." He saith unto him
the third time, “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest 1 Pet. 2.25.

& 5. 2, 4. “ thou me?” Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things;

thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto 18 him, “Feed my sheep. "Verily, verily, I say a Acts 12. “ unto thee, When thou wast young, thou gird

he should glorify God. And when he had spoken
20 this, he saith unto him, “ Follow me." Then

Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom
Jesus loved following; which also leaned on

his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is
21 he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith
