After this Jesus went to Peter's house, where seeing his wife's mother lying sick of a fever,

but Peter followed him at a distance to the high priest's palace, and going in, he sat with the officers to see the event.

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.

Now as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting their net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; the first is Simon, who is called Peter, then Andrew his brother,

Peter answered, Lord, said he, if it be you, bid me come upon the water to you.

Jesus said, come. and Peter getting out of the ship, walk'd on the water to go to Jesus.

then Peter said to him, tell us the meaning of that expression.

Simon Peter made answer, thou art Christ the son of the living God.

and I tell thee likewise, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will hereafter build my church: and death shall not prevail against it.

then Peter taking him aside, began to expostulate with him, saying, God forbid, Sir, this should ever happen to you.

but he frown'd upon Peter, and said, out of my sight pernicious obstacle to my designs; your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.

After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, in private to the top of a high mountain.

then Peter address'd himself to Jesus, Lord, said he, it is good for us to stay here: if you please, let us make three tabernacles here; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute for the temple came to Peter, and said, does not your master pay tribute?

Peter said, of others. Jesus answered, then are the children free.

Then Peter advancing to him, said, Lord, if my brother injures me, how many injuries must I forgive him? must I forgive him seven?

Then said Peter, but we, who have left every thing to follow thee; what advantage shall we get by it?

Peter thereupon said, tho' all the rest should abandon you, I never will.

but Peter said, though it should cost me my life, I never will disown you. and so said all the disciples.

but he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be in a very great agony of grief.

then returning to the disciples, and finding them asleep, he said to Peter, what, could ye not watch by me one hour?

soon after they that stood by coming up, said to Peter, certainly you are one of them, for thy speech bewrays thee.

when Peter remembred what Jesus had said to him, "before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." and he went out, and wept bitterly.
