John 21:17 "Simon of John or: Jonah," He continues, a third time saying to him, "Do you like Me and are you habitually My friend, having fondness and affection for Me?" Peter was made to grieve and be sad and sorry, because He said to him, the third time, "Are you habitually My friend, liking and having fondness and affection for Me?"

Jesus says to him, "As a herdsman, be habitually feeding (or: grazing) and tending My sheep other MSS: small sheep!
