FAITH
SCRIPTURE READING
John 21:15-17
15So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonah, 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. 16He said to him again a second time, Simon, son of
Jonah, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I
love You. He said to him, Tend My sheep. 17He said to him the
third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? Peter was grieved
because He said to him the third time, Do you love Me? And he
said to Him, Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.
Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.
