He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” | He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Nonah, do you love Me?” | He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [d]love You.” | He said to him, “Tend My sheep.” | 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?” | And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” | Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep". | As quoted in Gospel of John 21:15-17
More quotes by Saint Peter
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.
Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
