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).

And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.

And [when] Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down and suffering with a fever.

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,

And Peter answered him [and] said, "Lord, if {it is you}, command me to come to you on the water!"

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 Simon Peter answered [and] said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!"

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!"

But he turned around [and] said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a cause for stumbling to me, because you are not intent on the things of God, but the things of people!"

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

So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that {a large millstone} be hung on his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw [it] from you! It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire!

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw [it] from you! It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be thrown into fiery hell!

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?"

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!"

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

And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,

And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.

And [while] they were eating he said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me."

And he answered [and] said, "The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me--this one will betray me.

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

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 taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled.

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?

But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside [and] was sitting with the officers to see the outcome.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him [and] said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

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}."

And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times," and he went outside [and] wept bitterly.

And [after] taking counsel, they purchased {with} them the Potter's Field, for a burial place for strangers.

and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."
