17 He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

17 Perguntou-lhe terceira vez: Simão, filho de João, amas-me? Entristeceu-se Pedro por lhe ter perguntado pela terceira vez: Amas-me? E respondeu-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.
