(Do You Love Me) x 3 x 2

______________________________________________________________________________________

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?"

Simon said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you."
Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."


A second time he said to him,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"

Simon said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you."
Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep."


He said to him the third time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?"

And here is the proof:

He wrote a song wherein...

The same exact question asked
by Jesus Christ is repeated exactly
three times—in each verse!
