John 21:15-19:
Paul humbly outlines his conversion in his letter to the Galatians. We hear in the Gospel that although Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus gives him the opportunity to profess his faith by answering a question posed three times. Jesus entrusts Peter with his mission as shepherd of his flock.
Matthew 16:13-19:
In his letter to Timothy, Paul speaks of what he has been able to accomplish by God’s grace. In the Gospel, Jesus’ first asks what people are saying about him. Then he directs a question to the disciples asking for their assessment. Peter, the spokesperson, confesses his faith that Jesus is the Messiah.
