Jesus asked Peter

Question from Mel on 3/31/2008:

Dear Fr. John Echert,

Could you please tell me where I can find the passage in the bible that Jesus asked Peter if he loved him three times? Jesus wants Peter to take care of his sheep. I find it so beautiful because Jesus shows us that He really cares for us.

Thanks very much for your help and God bless you.

Check out the final Chapter of the Gospel of Saint John.

Thanks, Mel

Father Echert
