Lovest thou me? (agapāis me). This time Jesus drops the pleon toutōn and challenges Peter’s own statement. Peter repeats the same words in reply.
Tend my sheep (poimaine ta probatia). Present active imperative of poimainō, old verb from poimēn (shepherd), “shepherd my lambs” (probatia, diminutive of probaton, sheep).
