The Sea of Tiberius, John's name for the Sea of Galilee.
Almost at the end of John's Gospel (21:1-23) the Risen Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love me more than these others love me." Peter answers three times, "You know I do." Jesus three times says, "Feed my sheep." Jesus makes it clear that leadership among his followers is founded on love and humble service. Pope Francis tells church leaders that they should "smell like the sheep." (This passage is never scheduled as the Gospel for a Sunday.)

And why is that Fr. Paul?
Is it because it doesn't relate to the feast days when passages from John are read?
