And Simon he surnamed Peter;

And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.

And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But he turned about, and, looking on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get behind me, adversary: for you are not thinking of the things of God, but of the things of men.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up alone into a high mountain apart; and he was transfigured before them;

And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And whoever will ensnare one of these little ones that believe on me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And if your hand ensnare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And if your foot en snare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to Be thrown into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be thrown into hell-fire,

And Peter began to say to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.

And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:

Peter said to him: Though all should find occasion for offense, yet I will not.

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be in dismay and anguish of soul.

And he came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Simon, do you sleep? Had you not strength to watch one hour?

And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire.

And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest came;

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs.

And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.
