And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers??imon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother??asting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

When Jesus came into Peter's house, he found his wife's mother prostrated with fever.

These are the names of the apostles (missionaries). First, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death.

Peter answered, "Master, if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water."

"Come," said Jesus. Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.

Then Peter said to Jesus, "Explain the parable to us."

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

"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.

Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."

But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."

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

Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

As they came into Capernaum the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does not your Teacher pay the temple tax?"

"Indeed he does," answered Peter. But on Peter's entering the house, Jesus forestalled him, saying. "How does it seem to you, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect customs or taxes??rom their own people, or from aliens?"

"But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung about his neck, and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.

"If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, than to keep both hands or both feet and be cast into the everlasting burning.

"If your eye keeps causing you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with only one eye, than to keep both eyes and be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

Just then Peter came to him, and asked him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?"

"If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."

Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"

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

and from that time he kept looking for a chance to betray him.

and as they were eating, he said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you is going to betray me!"

In reply he said: "One who has dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.

"If they all stumble and fall away from you," answered Peter, "I will never do so!"

But Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And so said all the disciples.

And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be in anguish and sore distress,

Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter. "So you were none of you strong enough to watch with me even one hour!

Now Peter was following him, afar off, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and when he got in, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one of the maidservants came up to him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Galilean!"

A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "You also are certainly one of them, for your speech betrays you."

Then Peter recalled the word that Jesus had spoken, "Before the cock crow, you shall three times deny me"??nd he went out and broke out into bitter weeping.

So after the consultation they bought the Potter's Field with it, for a burial-place for strangers.

and gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord had appointed me.
