And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, 'Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

and no one having drunk old wine, doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'

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

And Jesus said, 'Who is it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng thee, and thou dost say, Who is it that touched me!'

And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

and he said to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'

And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'

And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'

and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'

and he said, 'I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,

and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.'

and Peter said, 'Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'

and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
