He said to him, "Feed My lambs." 16He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."

And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep. (Verses 15-17; NKJV) Note different wording in the original text for love ; Also for the word know in verse 17!!!
After Peter is reconciled to the Lord Jesus tells Peter of how he will be put to death in such a way that will glorify God. Peter then turns to see the apostle John, and asks Jesus about him Jesus tells Peter that he need not to be concerned with John s fate.
We can (and should) be zealous. We must, however, be wary of growing overconfident in that pursuit. Let us constantly examine ourselves & strive to be unprofitable servants . God wills that His children remain humble in service to Him. If we do not make that effort our own, He may very well choose to MAKE us humble. (James 4:6-7)
When Simon Peter was brought low, the Lord still required this painful discussion. Even though Simon felt very humbled; even though he was very sorrowful for what he d done. Peter had to deal with the painful consequences of his actions. We see the Lord Jesus Christ as being stern in this instance We also see a loving and forgiving Jesus Christ in this instance; if one is willing to do what whatever is necessary in repenting (Acts 26:20).
The lesson also brings for us the principle of taking care of our OWN concerns. Too many are like Peter -- wondering about John s fate. Although we are to express concern for others and their welfare, this instance speaks to the need that many have in needing to deal with their own concerns (Matthew 7:1-5). Sacrifices must be made, but the Lord is willing to have you reconciled unto Him -- if you are willing to take the necessary steps.
