John 21:15-17
New King James Version
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [a]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [b]love You.”
He said to him, (A)“Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of [c]Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [d]love You.”
(B)He said to him, “Tend My (C)sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of [e]Jonah, do you [f]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

New King James Version
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent (A)to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Peter’s Approaching Death
12 For this reason (B)I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, (C)though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, (D)as long as I am in this [a]tent, (E)to stir you up by reminding you, 14 (F)knowing that shortly I must [b]put off my tent, just as (G)our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my [c]decease.
