自满地

It was to remind Peter of the terrible self-confidence in which he had said:"Though I should die with Thee, I will not deny Thee"; of the need of quiet, deep heart-searching ere he could be sure that his love was real and true; of the need of deep penitence in the consciousness of how little he could trust himself; and then of love being the one thing needful for the full restoration to his place in the heart of Jesus, the first and highest condition for feeding His sheep and caring for His lambs.

其实这是提醒他曾自信满满地说：「主阿！我就是同祢下监，同祢受死，也是甘心。」（路廿二33）。主耶稣问他三次，就是要他自躬反省，对主耶稣的爱是真实不改变的吗？然而事实证明遇到考验时，人的软弱会显露无遗，人的承诺是靠不住的。要如何弥补人一时的软弱跌倒呢？唯一的方法就是餵养主耶稣的羊群，才能恢复他在主耶稣心中的地位。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
