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

"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 He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is so good for us to be here. If you wish, I will build three [small] shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." [Note: Perhaps Peter wanted to provide quarters for the three to stay temporarily, thus prolonging the wonderful experience. In any event, he should not have done what suggested that Moses and Elijah were equal to Jesus].

And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.

And He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons along with Him and He began to give way to His grief and distress of heart.

In the mean time Peter was sitting without in the court: and a servant maid came to him, and said, you likewise was one of Jesus the Galilean's comrades.

“Lord, if it’s You,” Peter answered Him, “command me to come to You on the water.”

And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

And Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ [i.e., God's specially chosen one], the Son of the living God."

When Jesus and His disciples came to Capernaum, the collectors of the tax [Note: This was the annual tax used for meeting the expenses of the Temple service and consisted of two days' worth of a farm laborer's pay, or about $140 in 1994] came to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher [also] pay the [Temple] tax?"

Just then, one of those who were with Jesus [i.e., Peter. See John 18:10], reached out with his sword and struck the head priest's servant [with it], shearing off his ear.

Now [as he] was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

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

So he said, "Come!" And getting out of the boat, Peter walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

But Peter answered [and] said to him, "Explain this parable to us."

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it!

And Peter took him aside [and] began to rebuke him, saying, {God forbid}, Lord! This will never happen to you!"

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

Then Peter came up to him [and] said, "Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?"

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "So, were you not able to stay awake with me one hour?

And after a little [while] those who were standing there came up [and] said to Peter, "You really are [one] of them also, because even your accent {reveals who you are}."
