But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet, saying, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!”

Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.”

When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not realizing what he was saying.

Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Peter said, “Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You.”

And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.”

And He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

A little later, another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
