12Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

Jesus then commissions Peter to feed his sheep, a reminder of the importance of caring for others and being a good shepherd. Finally, Jesus tells Peter that he will die a martyr's death, a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us.
