sh. This was the third time he appeared to his disciples
after he had risen from the dead.

After breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you
love me more than these?" He said, "Surely, Master, you know I love
you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." Then he asked him a second
time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" And he answered, "Surely,
Master, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep."
Jesus said to him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me with

fixed by his own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses at Jerusalem,
throughout all Judea and Samaria and to every part of the earth." When
he had said this and while they were still looking at him, he was lifted
up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were staring
into heaven, as he went up, two men clothed in white stood beside them,
who said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This
