And he appointed the Twelve. And to Simon he gave the name Peter;

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

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

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah."

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

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

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell.

47 If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell,

Peter began to tell him, "Look, we have left everything, and have followed you."

Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me?he who eats with me."

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?

Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."

But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean."

And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"
