bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Peter by this triple confession is restored into his former position from where he fell by his triple denial: and furthermore it is proclaimed that he is indeed a pastor, who shows his love to Christ in feeding his sheep."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"Christ makes himself known to his people, usually in his ordinances; but sometimes by his Spirit he visits them when employed in their business."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Christ orders St. Peter to follow him in token of his readiness to be crucified in his cause. St. John stays not for the call; he rises and follows him too; but says not one word of his own love or zeal. He chose that the action only should speak this; and even when he records the circumstance, he tells us not what that action meant, but with great simplicity relates the fact only. If here and there a generous heart sees and emulates it, be it so; but he is not solicitous that men should admire it. It was addressed to his beloved Master, and it was enough that he understood it."

bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"On the night of the betrayal, when Christ intimated that his disciples would forsake him in the trial he was about to suffer, Peter spoke up and asserted that though all others forsook him he would never forsake him...Since that fall, Christ had met with Peter among the rest of the disciples, but had not referred to this subject, but now has come the time for a restoration of Peter. Hence, he probes him with the question, "Lovest thou me more than these?" "
