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

But if your right eye makes you fall, tear it out and throw it away, for you might better lose one part of your body than have it all thrown into the pit!

If your right hand makes you fall, cut it off and throw it away, for you might better lose one part of your body than have it all go down to the pit!

Jesus went into Peter's house, and there he found Peter's mother-in-law sick in bed with fever.

I tell you, the land of Sodom and Gomorrah will fare better on the Day of Judgment than that town.

A pupil is not better than his teacher, nor a slave better than his master.

Have no fear of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. You had better be afraid of one who can destroy both soul and body in the pit.

But I tell you, Tyre and Sidon will fare better on the Day of Judgment than you will!

But I tell you that the land of Sodom will fare better on the Day of Judgment than you will!"

Peter answered, "If it is you, Master, order me to come to you on the water."

And he said, "Come!" And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and went to Jesus.

Peter said to him, "Explain the figure for us."

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

But I tell you, your name is Peter, a rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not subdue it.

And Peter took him aside and began to reprove him for it, saying, "God bless you, Master! that can never happen to you!"

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get out of my sight, you Satan! You hinder me, for you do not side with God, but with men!"

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain, by themselves.

And Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three huts here, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the temple-tax came and said to Peter, "Does not your Master pay the temple-tax?"

But whoever hinders one of these children who believe in me might better have a great millstone hung around his neck and be sunk in the open sea.

"But if your own hand or your own foot makes you fall, cut it off and throw it away. You might better enter upon life maimed or crippled than keep both hands and feet but be thrown into the everlasting fire.

And if your own eye makes you fall, dig it out and throw it away. You might better enter upon life with only one eye than be thrown with both eyes into the fiery pit.

Then Peter came to him and said, "Master, how many times am I to forgive my brother when he wrongs me? Seven times over?"

The disciples said to him, "If that is a man's relation to his wife, it is better not to marry!"

Then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.

But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'

And as they were eating, he said, "I tell you, one of you will betray me!"

He answered, "The man who just dipped his hand in the same dish with me is going to betray me.

The Son of Man is to go away as the Scriptures say of him, but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born!"

Peter answered, "If they all desert you, I will never do it!"

Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you!" All the disciples said so too.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a maid came up to him, and said, "You were with Jesus the Galilean, too!"

A little while after the bystanders came up to Peter and said, "You are certainly one of them too, for your accent shows it!"

And Peter remembered Jesus' words when he had said, "Before a cock crows, you will disown me three times!" And he went outside and wept bitterly.
