AE 314b - to feed, to teach

AE 314b [5]
Because "lambs" signify those who are in the love to the Lord,
which love is one with innocence,
and because "sheep" signify those who are in love towards the neighbor,
which love is charity,
the Lord said to Peter:

Simon, son of Jonas, do you love Me?
He said unto Him,
Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.
He said unto Him, Feed My lambs;
and afterwards, Feed My sheep.

(John 21:15-17)

These things were said to Peter,
because by "Peter" truth from good, or faith from charity was meant,
and truth from good teaches;
"to feed" meaning to teach.
