What did Christ say to Peter? It is founded on Christ and through Peter's answer to the questions that Christ asked, after Peter answered, then Christ put out other admonitions, instructions.

For example,

Christ: "Do you love me?"

Peter: Yes, Lord, you know I love you.

Christ: Then tend my sheep.

Can someone help me out on the other two quotes. I'm not remembering right now.

To be fair Jesus specifically spoke to Simon, son of John. He did not call him Peter. Wonder why?

John 21:
[15] When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, 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."
[16] A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
[17] He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, 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 everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.


Do you suppose Jesus put Simon, son of John through the wringer three times because he had denied Him three times?
