Truth That Transforms

14 This is now the (A) third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

15 So when they had (B) finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you (C) love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, LORD; You know that I love You " He said to him, "Tend (D) My lambs."

16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, LORD; You know that I love You." He said to him, "(E) Shepherd 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 (F) the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "LORD, (G)You know all things; You know that I love You " Jesus said to him, "(H) Tend My sheep.

-John 21:14-17
