at sight of this, Simon Peter fell on his knees before Jesus, and said, Lord, withdraw from such a sinful man as I:

(to whom he gave the name of Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?"

being come to the house, he suffer'd nobody to go into the room with him, except Peter, John and James, and the young woman's father and mother.

but who, said he, do you think I am? Peter answered, you are the Messiah of God.

About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up a mountain to pray.

while Peter, and the others with him, were overwhelm'd with sleep: but when they wak'd, they observed his glory, and the two persons present with him,

who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.

then Peter said to him, Lord, do you apply this similitude to us, or to all in general?

and this unfaithful steward was commended by his master for being so provident. for they who look to this world, manage their affairs with more prudence, than those who have a prospect of a better.

it were better for him that a milstone were hang'd about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should occasion any innocent person to relapse.

Then said Peter, you see that we have left every thing to follow you.

they watch'd then, and suborn'd spies, who under pretence of their tender consciences, might ensnare him in his discourse, and so betray him to the civil power and jurisdiction of the governor.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, go, and make provision for our eating the paschal-lamb.

Peter answer'd, Lord, I am ready to accompany you both to prison, and to death.

but Jesus said to him, Judas is it thus you betray the son of man, with a kiss?

Then they seized him and carried him away to the high priest's house, and Peter followed at a distance.

now as they had made a fire in the middle of the hall, and people were sitting all round it, Peter too sat down among them.

a little while after another seeing him, said, you are even one of them. but Peter said to him, man, I am not.

Peter reply'd, man, I don't know what you would say, and immediately while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

whereupon the Lord turned about, and look'd upon Peter. then Peter remembred what the Lord had said to him, "before the cock-crowing you shall deny me thrice."

and Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

yet Peter got up, and ran to the sepulchre, where stooping down he saw nothing but the linnen lying there: upon which he went away wondring with himself at such an event.
