21:17 Jesus ¹  said ²  a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed ³  that Jesus ⁴  asked ⁵  him a third time, “Do you love me?” and said, ⁶  “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus ⁷  replied, ⁸  “Feed my sheep.

Psalms 142:3

142:3 Even when my strength leaves me, ⁹ 

you watch my footsteps. ¹⁰ 

In the path where I walk

they have hidden a trap for me.

Hebrews 4:13

4:13 And no creature is hidden from God, ¹¹  but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

Hebrews 4:15

4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

[21:17]  ¹ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:17]  ² tn Grk “said to him.” The words “to him” are clear from the context and slightly redundant in English.

[21:17]  ³ tn Or “was sad.”

[21:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “said to.”

[21:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “and said to him.” The words “to him” are clear from the context and slightly redundant in English.

[21:17]  ⁷ tc ‡ Most witnesses, especially later ones (A Θ Ψ Ë¹³ Ï), read ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsou", “Jesus”) here, while B C have ᾿Ιησοῦς without the article and א D W ˹ 33 565 al lat lack both. Because of the rapid verbal exchange in this pericope, “Jesus” is virtually required for clarity, providing a temptation to scribes to add the name. Further, the name normally occurs with the article. Although it is possible that B C accidentally omitted the article with the name, it is just as likely that they added the simple name to the text for clarity’s sake, while other witnesses added the article as well. The omission of ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς thus seems most likely to be authentic. NA²⁷ includes the words in brackets, indicating some doubts as to their authenticity.
