And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break; and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him; and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men. And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.

And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, throwing a net about in the sea; for they were fishers. And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

And as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishers. And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they immediately left their nets and followed him.

But when he saw the wind strong, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.

But Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid servant came to him, and said: You also were with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what you say. And when he went out into the entrance, an other maid-servant saw him, and said to those who were there: This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene. read more.
And again he denied, with an oath: I know not the man.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;)

And Simon he surnamed Peter;

Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said to him: Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. read more.
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

And one of those who were standing by, drew a sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and ill of a fever.

And he arose and went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was confined with a violent fever: and they besought him in her behalf.

And forthwith, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now the mother-in-law of Simon lay sick of a fever. And at once they told him of her.

And as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishers.

Simon Peter said to them: I am going a fishing. They said to him: We also are going with you. They went out and entered the ship; and that night they caught nothing.

And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship. read more.
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net. And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break; and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

and we believe, and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee. But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.

And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But he turned about, and, looking on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get behind me, adversary: for you are not thinking of the things of God, but of the things of men.

Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus;

Bat Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you. For we can not but speak the things that we have seen and heard.

But Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.

Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and came to the tomb. And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; read more.
and he stooped down and saw the linen cloths lying, but he did not go in. Then came Simon Peter, following him; and he went into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying,

and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.

and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures; and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve;

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him, saying: You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them. read more.
And Peter began, and laid the matter before them in order, saying: I was in the city of Joppa, praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision, some vessel like a great sheet, descending, let down from heaven by the four corners; and it came even to me. When I had looked attentively into it, I observed and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air. And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth. But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you must not call common. This was done the third time, and all was drawn up again into heaven. And behold, three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea, immediately came to the house where I was. And the Spirit commanded me to go with them without hesitation. And these six brethren accompanied me. And we entered the man's house: and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he will tell you words by which you and all your house shall be saved. And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as he said, John immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit. If, then, God gave them the like gift that he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God? And when they heard these things, they ceased to contend; and they glorified God, saying: Then, indeed, has God given to the Gentiles also repentance in order to life.

And after there had been much disputing, Peter arose, and said to them: Brethren, you know that, at the beginning, God made choice among us, that, by my mouth, the Gentiles should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe. And God, who knows the heart, became a witness for them, by giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it also to us; and he made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. read more.
Now, therefore, why do you put God to the proof, by placing a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we ourselves, were able to bear? But we believe that we shall be saved, even as they, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband.

And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things.

But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying. Jesus replied: Are you also yet without understanding?

And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained faith, equally as precious as our own, in the plan of justification revealed by our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew. And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them. read more.
He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?

But Peter followed him, at a distance, to the palace of the chief priest, and went in and sat with the attendants, to see the end.

He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus. Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?

Peter answered and said to him: Though all shall be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

and knowing the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, but they to the circumcision,

Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem, in order to become personally acquainted with Peter; and I remained with him fifteen days:

After this, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias. And he showed himself in this way. There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them: I am going a fishing. They said to him: We also are going with you. They went out and entered the ship; and that night they caught nothing. read more.
But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them: Children, have you any food? They answered him: No. He said to them: Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you will find. They threw it, there fore, and were no longer able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. And when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded on his outer coat, for he had on his inner garment only, and threw himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship, dragging the net with fishes, for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits. As soon as they had come to the land, they saw there a fire of coals, and fish lying upon it, and bread. Jesus said to them; Bring of the fish that you have just taken. Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three. And though they were so many, the net did not break. Jesus said to them: Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? because they knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus came and took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish likewise. This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. When, therefore, they had taken breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, Do you love me more than these? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my lambs. He said to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Be a shepherd to my sheep. He said to him a third time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep. Verily, verily I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself, and walked whither you chose; but when you have become old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and lead you whither you would not. But this he said, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him: Follow me. Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple that Jesus loved, following, who also reclined at supper upon his breast, and said: Lord, who is he that delivers thee up? Peter seeing this one, said to Jesus: Lord, what shall this one do? Jesus said to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? Do you follow me. Therefore, this saying went out among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?

Then he came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him: What I am doing you know not now, but you will know here after. Peter said to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me. read more.
Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head. Jesus said to him: He that has bathed needs nothing else save to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all. For he knew who would deliver him up; for this reason he said, You are not all clean.

And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water. And he said: Come. And Peter went down from the ship, and walked upon the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind strong, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me. read more.
And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him: you of little faith, why did you doubt?

And in those days Peter arose in the midst of the disciples, (the number of the names together was about a hundred and twenty,) and said: Brethren, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit had before spoken by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was a guide to those who took Jesus: for he was numbered with us, and had been appointed to this ministry. read more.
Therefore he purchased a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known to all that dwelt in Jerusalem, so that the field is called, in their own language, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in it, and, His office let another take. Therefore, of these men who have associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the immersion of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, must one be appointed as a witness with us of his resurrection.

While Peter was speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard the word.

And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour. And he became very hungry, and desired to eat; but while they were making ready, he fell into a trance; and he saw heaven opened, and some vessel, like a great sheet, descending, bound by the four corners, and let down to the earth. read more.
In this were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said: By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing common or unclean. And the voice came to him again a second time: What God has cleansed, you must not call common. This was done the third time; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.

Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name, when translated, is Dorcas. She was full of good works and deeds of charity which she did. And it came to pass, in those days, that she was taken sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to make no delay in coming to them. read more.
Then Peter arose, and went with them; and when he had come, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and raised her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.

who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. read more.
And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,

And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, saying: Give me, also, this authority, that who ever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit. But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money. read more.
You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent, there fore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you. For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me.

But the chief priest arose, and all that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation; and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison. But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and brought them out, and said: read more.
Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all the words of this life. And having heard this, they entered the temple, early in the morning, and taught. But the chief priest, and those who were with him, came and called together the Sanhedrin, and all the eldership of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But when the attendants came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and reported, saying: "We found the prison closed with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors; but when we had opened, we found no one within. When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean. And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrin; and the chief priest asked them, saying: Did we not strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us. But Peter and the apostles answered and said: "We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree. Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins: and we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them that obey him. And when they heard this, they were enraged; and they determined to put them to death. Then arose a certain man in the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people; and he commanded them to put the apostles out for a little while, and said to them: Men of Israel, consider well with yourselves what you are about to do to these men. For before these days Theudas arose, declaring himself to be some great one; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; and he was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered and brought to naught. After this man, Judas the Galilean arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew over many people after him; and he was destroyed, and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to an end; but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also against God. And they were persuaded by him; and when they had called the apostles in and scourged them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Then, they went from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were thought worthy to suffer shame for his name's sake. And daily in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus the Christ.

And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he apprehended Peter also. Those were the days of unleavened bread. And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four tetrads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the passover. Therefore, Peter was kept in prison; but fervent prayer to God was made for him by the church. read more.
When Herod was about to bring him out, on that night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the doors were guarding the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison. And he gently struck Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying: Arise quickly; and his chains fell from his hands. And the angel said to him: Gird your self, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him: Throw your mantle around you, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought that he saw a vision. And when they had passed through the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord. And they went out, and passed on through one street; and the angel immediately departed from him. And when Peter came to himself, he said: Now I know, in truth, that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all that was expected by the Jewish people. And being aware of his condition, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where many had met together, and were praying. And when he knocked at the door of the entrance, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to listen. And recognizing Peter's voice, she did not open the entrance for joy, but ran in and told that Peter was standing before the entrance. And they said to her: You are mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. Then said hey: It is his angel. But Peter continued to knock; and when they had opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished. But, having made a sign to them with his hand, that they should keep silence, he made known to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and he said: Tell this to James, and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place. And when it was day, there was no little confusion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. But Herod, when he had sought for him, and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded them to be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarean, and there he remained.

And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda. And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years. And Peter said to him: Aeneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them: Men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose: for it is the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel: read more.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And also on my servants and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know, him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay: whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it. For David speaks with reference to him: I saw the Lord always in my presence: for he is at my right hand, that I should not be moved. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue sang praise. Moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope; because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Brethren, I may say to you plainly of the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would cause one from the fruit of his loins to sit on his throne; foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this same Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles: Brethren, what shall we do? And Peter said to them: Repent, and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you, and your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying: Save yourselves from this wicked generation.

And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him. And when they had found him, they said to him: All are seeking for thee.

And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming them selves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.

Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life;

And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

so that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on some of them.

And Peter said to him: Aeneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them: Men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words.

so that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on some of them.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately: Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and kept back part of the price, and his wife was conscious of it; and he brought a certain part of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles. But Peter said: Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should at tempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land? read more.
While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God. And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things. And the young men arose and wound him in his mantle, and carried him out, and buried him. And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had been done, came in. And Peter answered her: Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? She replied: Yes; for so much. But Peter said to her: Why is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out. And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband. And great fear came on all the church, and on all that heard these things.

While they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being vexed because they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in prison till the next day, for it was already evening. read more.
But many of those who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand. And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes, and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest, met together in Jerusalem. And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health. This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no other; nor, indeed, is there another name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus; and, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. But, having commanded them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they consulted with one another, saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it. But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name. And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus. Bat Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you. For we can not but speak the things that we have seen and heard. And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing for which they could punish them, because of the people; for they all glorified God on ac count of that which had been done; for the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old. And having been released, they went to their own, and told all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

And he took him by his right hand and raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankles received strength.

And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered.

Then Peter said to him: Lord, dost them speak this parable to us, or also to all?

Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying.

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, make ready the passover for us, that we may eat it.

Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;

Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphasus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour.

And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour.

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day. And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee. But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.

And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple that Jesus loved, following, who also reclined at supper upon his breast, and said: Lord, who is he that delivers thee up? Peter seeing this one, said to Jesus: Lord, what shall this one do? Jesus said to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? Do you follow me.

Peter said to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.

And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he apprehended Peter also. Those were the days of unleavened bread. And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four tetrads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the passover. Therefore, Peter was kept in prison; but fervent prayer to God was made for him by the church. read more.
When Herod was about to bring him out, on that night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the doors were guarding the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison. And he gently struck Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying: Arise quickly; and his chains fell from his hands. And the angel said to him: Gird your self, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him: Throw your mantle around you, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought that he saw a vision. And when they had passed through the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord. And they went out, and passed on through one street; and the angel immediately departed from him. And when Peter came to himself, he said: Now I know, in truth, that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all that was expected by the Jewish people. And being aware of his condition, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where many had met together, and were praying. And when he knocked at the door of the entrance, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to listen. And recognizing Peter's voice, she did not open the entrance for joy, but ran in and told that Peter was standing before the entrance. And they said to her: You are mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. Then said hey: It is his angel. But Peter continued to knock; and when they had opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished. But, having made a sign to them with his hand, that they should keep silence, he made known to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and he said: Tell this to James, and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place. And when it was day, there was no little confusion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. But Herod, when he had sought for him, and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded them to be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarean, and there he remained.

But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you; and these will stealthily introduce ruinous sects, and deny the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction: and many will follow their dissolute ways, on account of whom the way of truth will be reviled;

But when Peter saw it, he answered the people: Men of Israel, why are you astonished at this? or, why do you look so earnestly on us, as if by our own power or godliness we had caused this man to walk? The God of Abra ham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered up, and whom you rejected in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to release him. But you rejected the Holy and Just One, and demanded that a murderer should be given to you; read more.
and you slew the Author of life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; even the faith which is by him, has given him this entire soundness in the presence of you all. And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance you did this, as did also your rulers. But the things which God fore told by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he has thus fulfilled. Repent, therefore, and turn, in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was destined for you; whom heaven must retain, till the time for restoring all things that God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets of ancient times. For Moses said to the fathers, A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear in all things that he shall say to you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. And all the prophets, from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days. You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. To you first, God, having raised up his Son Jesus, has sent him to bless you, in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.

But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them: Men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose: for it is the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel: read more.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And also on my servants and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know, him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay: whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it. For David speaks with reference to him: I saw the Lord always in my presence: for he is at my right hand, that I should not be moved. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue sang praise. Moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope; because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Brethren, I may say to you plainly of the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would cause one from the fruit of his loins to sit on his throne; foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this same Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles: Brethren, what shall we do? And Peter said to them: Repent, and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you, and your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying: Save yourselves from this wicked generation.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money.

For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour.

And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.

He said to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Be a shepherd to my sheep.

And Peter opened his mouth, and said: In truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;

Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

And again he denied, with an oath: I know not the man.

Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

But Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid servant came to him, and said: You also were with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what you say. And when he went out into the entrance, an other maid-servant saw him, and said to those who were there: This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene. read more.
And again he denied, with an oath: I know not the man. After a little while, those who stood by came and said to Peter: Of a truth you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you. Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew. And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them. read more.
He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain maid-servant saw him sitting by the fire; and, looking intently at him, she said: This man also was with him. But he denied, saying: "Woman, I know him not. read more.
And after a little, another saw him, and said: You also are one of them. Peter replied: Man, I am not. And about one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean. But Peter said: Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew.

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew. And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them. read more.
He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
