John 21:15

‘He says to him, “Indeed, Lord. You know that I love you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs”.’

Note how impetuous Peter restrained his impetuosity. He made no claim to have special love. He would no longer compare the greatness of his love with that of others, even when given the opportunity. He would, however, declare that his love was true. Thus had he become fit to feed the lambs.
