As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell.

When Jesus come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."

So he said, "Come". Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us."

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

And I tell you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, "Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!"

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?"

And when Peter said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

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

The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

Then Peter answered him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?"

[And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."]

And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.

And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.

The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

Peter declared to him, "Even if all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you." And so said all the disciples.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?

But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

After a little while those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."

And Peter remembered the word Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.

So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
