16Again he saith to him, Simon of John (or Simon the son of John), lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed thou my lambs (or Feed my male sheep).
17He saith to him the third time, Simon of John (or Simon the son of John), lovest thou me? Peter was heavy, or sorry, (or was grieved), for he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me, and he saith to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep (or Feed my female sheep).
