“Because they've taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don't know where they've put him.”
“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you're seeking? ”
Supposing he was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you've carried him away, tell me where you've put him, and I will take him away.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.”

A second time he asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me? ”
“Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.”
“Shepherd my sheep,” he told him.
He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me? ”
Peter was grieved that he asked him the third time, “Do you love me? ” He said, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
“Feed my sheep,” Jesus said.
