THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, According to St. John (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

21:17 Feed my sheep: Our Lord had promised the spiritual supremacy to St. Peter; St. Matt. 16.19; and here he fulfils that promise, by charging him with the superintendency of all his sheep, without exception; and consequently of his whole flock, that is, of his own church.
