Passage themes

Called by name — Simon, son of Jonas
The question of love — lovest thou me
Peter's confidence — more than these
Jesus knows hearts — Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee
The shepherd's charge — Feed my lambs
Care for the weakest — my lambs

Notes and references

“These.” This could refer to the objects around them, meaning the fisherman's trade, but is more likely that it refers to the other disciples. It is Peter's love for Jesus which is in question.
