Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “time number 2.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀγαπᾷς με & φιλῶ σε
˱you˲_/are/_loving me & ˱I˲_/am/_loving you

This sentence has the same meaning as “Feed my lambs” in the previous verse. See how you translated that similar sentence there. Alternate translation: “Take care of the people who believe in me like a shepherd takes care of lambs”
