    Simon Peter August 8 Text

    Uploaded by

    Jesus asks Simon three times if he loves him. Each time, Simon questions how well Jesus knows him or makes an uncertain response. Jesus tells Simon to feed and tend his sheep. He notes that as we age, we lose some control over where we go and may have to go places we don't wish. Jesus then tells Simon to follow him, but Simon questions if he is truly following or just happening to go in the same direction. Jesus laughs off the distinction.

    A fragment of an impossible gospel according to this Simon.

    When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon, Simon son of John, do you
    love me more than these? He said to him, I barely even know you.' Jesus said to
    him, Feed my lambs.
    A second time he said to him, Simon son of John, do you love me? He said to
    him, Dude, you barely even know me. Jesus said to him, Tend my sheep.
    He said to him the third time, Simon son of John, do you love me? And Simon
    wondered what he could possibly say and said nothing.
    Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. Regardless of what you believe, when you
    were younger you could control where you wished to go, but when you are older
    you may not have that same control, and you may have to go where you do not
    wish to go.' An idea that Simon pondered, uneasily.
    After this Jesus said to him 'Follow me'.
    And, again, Simon, son of John couldn't say any thing and eventually after a
    morning of silence said 'Am I actually following or simply heading in the same
    direction?'
    And Jesus laughed and said "Potato, po-tah-to"
