Matthew 4:18-20 (NIV)\n2) Show UpWhen they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, \u201cSimon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?\u201d \u201cYes, Lord,\u201d he said, \u201cyou know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cFeed my lambs.\u201d Again Jesus said, \u201cSimon, son of John, do you truly love me?\u201d He answered, \u201cYes, Lord, you know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cTake care of my sheep.\u201d The third time he said to him, \u201cSimon son of John, do you love me?\u201d Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d He said, \u201cLord, you know all things; you know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cFeed my sheep.\u201d John 21:15-17 (NIV)\n3) Step UpThen Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd. . .
