But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

Simon (whom he named Peter), and his brother Andrew; and James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

But other seed fell on good soil and grew, and it produced a hundred times as much grain." As he said this, he called out, "The one who has ears to hear had better listen!"

Then Jesus asked, "Who was it who touched me?" When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!"

Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.

Then Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?"

But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host approaches he will say to you, 'Friend, move up here to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

It is of no value for the soil or for the manure pile; it is to be thrown out. The one who has ears to hear had better listen!"

It would be better for him to have a millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

And Peter said, "Look, we have left everything we own to follow you!"

He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them.

So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat."

But Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

Jesus replied, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me."

But Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

Then they arrested Jesus, led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.

When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know him!"

Then a little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent down and saw only the strips of linen cloth; then he went home, wondering what had happened.
