Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem (21,15-17)
Cum manifestásset se Iesus discípulis suis et prandíssent, dicit Simóni Petro Iésus: “Simon Ioánnis, díligis me plus his?” Dicit ei: “Étiam, Dómine, tu scis quia amo te.” Dicit ei: “Pásce agnos meos.” Dicit ei íterum secúndo: “Simon Ioánnis, díligis me?” Ait illi: “Étiam, Dómine, tu scis quia amo te.” Dicit ei: “Pásce oves meas.” Dicit ei tértio: “Simon Ioánnis, amas me?” Contristátus est Petrus quia dixit ei tértio: “Amas me?”, et dicit ei: “Dómine, tu ómnia scis, tu cognóscis quia amo te.” Dicit ei: Pásce oves meas.
After Jesus appeared to His disciples and they haddined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my Lambs. He saith to him again: Simon of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my Lambs. He saith to him the third time: Simon of John, lovest thou me? Peter was stroken sad because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my Sheep.
