 In verses 25 I see a strong indication that we do not know everything.  According to Mark Bailey, the the gospels only give us a total of 52 days in the life of Christ.  Moreover, Chapters 12 through 20 of John only give us a window into seven days of Christ's life.  What does this mean? Christ did a whole lot more, but God, in His Word, has not chosen to reveal those aspects of Christ's life to each of us.  What we have is what we need, the perfect Word of God that is sufficient for each of us, "for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.<ref>2 Timothy 3:16-17, NKJV</ref>"

 <blockquote>
 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, ἀγαπᾷς Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that φιλῶ You.”  He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, ἀγαπᾷς Me?”  He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that φιλῶ You.”  He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
