15 So when they had eaten their 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 have affection for you."

He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He 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 have affection for you."

He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?"

Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you."

Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

15 Depois de terem comido, perguntou Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de João, amas-me mais do que estes? Respondeu-lhe: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeirinhos.

16 Tornou a perguntar-lhe: Simão, filho de João, amas-me? Respondeu-lhe: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Pastoreia as minhas ovelhas.

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.
