In chapter 21 verse 17 of the gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John, we can see Jesus’ important question to Peter: Do you love me? It is good to remember that this happened after Peter’s denial, Jesus’ resurrection and His appearance before His disciples.
That is why in this chapter we can point out that the Master wanted to restore Peter for what he had gone through. This moment was very difficult for Peter, after the time that had passed since he denied the Master. In this chapter we notice how Jesus asks Peter several times if he loved him. The Bible says the following in John 21:17:
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John 21:17
