17 Perguntou-lhe pela terceira vez: Simão, filho de João, amas-me? Pedro entristeceu-se porque lhe perguntou pela terceira vez: Amas-me?, e respondeu-lhe: Senhor, sabes tudo, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.

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.
