Jesus said to me, “Duncan, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to me, “Feed my lambs.”
He said to me a second time, “Duncan, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to me, “Tend my sheep.”
He said to me the third time, “Duncan, do you love me?”
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to me, “Feed my sheep….”
And after saying this he said to me, “Follow me.”
shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (1 Peter 5:2-4)
