He appointed twelve: To Simon he gave the name Peter;

And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!"

If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!"

She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse.

He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.

He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

He spoke openly about this. So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But after turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan. You are not setting your mind on God's interests, but on man's."

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately. And he was transfigured before them,

So Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, to the unquenchable fire.

If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

Peter began to speak to him, "Look, we have left everything to follow you!"

Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered."

So while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me will betray me."

For the Son of Man will go 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 he had never been born."

Peter said to him, "Even if they all fall away, I will not!"

But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And all of them said the same thing.

He took Peter, James, and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed.

Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour?

And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the guards and warming himself by the fire.

Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's slave girls came by.

When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus."

But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, "You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean."

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

But go, tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you."
