# General Information:
Jesus begins to have a conversation with Simon Peter.
# do you love me
The kind of love that comes from God is focused on having good things happen to others even when those good things do not happen to the one who loves.
# you know that I love you
When Peter answers, he uses the word for "love" that refers to brotherly love or love for a friend or family member.
# Feed my lambs
Here "lambs" is a metaphor for those persons who love Jesus and follow him. Alternate translation: "Feed the people I care for" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
