and on recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she failed to open the door but ran and told them that Peter was standing at the door.

When He went into Peter's house, He saw his mother-in-law lying in bed sick with fever.

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.

Another of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

So that disciple whom Jesus used to love tenderly said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he belted on his fisherman's coat, for he had taken it off, and plunged into the sea.

So Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter was reminded of the word that the Lord had spoken to him, "Before a cock crows today, you will disown me three times."

Thus He came to Simon Peter. Peter said to Him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

but Peter stood outside before the door. So this other disciple, who was acquainted with the high priest, stepped out and spoke to the woman doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

After they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, are you more devoted to me than you are to these things?" Peter answered Him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I tenderly love you." Jesus said to him, "Then feed my lambs."

He said this to point out the sort of death by which Peter was to glorify God. So after He had said this, He said to Peter, "Keep on following me!"

Then Peter put them all out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and, turning to the body, said, "Tabitha, get up!" Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons along with Him and He began to give way to His grief and distress of heart.

And Peter followed Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest's home; he even went inside and was sitting among the attendants to see how it would end.

He let no one go with Him but Peter, James, and James's brother John.

While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's waiting girls came up,

When He reached the house, He let no one go in with Him but Peter, James, and John, and the child's father and mother.

Simon Peter and another disciple followed on after Jesus. And that other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, and so went on with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,

Then the servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You too are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He answered, "No, I am not."

One of the high priest's slaves, who was a kinsman of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

While he was still clinging to Peter and John, all the people in utter amazement crowded around them in what was called Solomon's portico.

When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted God's message, they sent Peter and John there.

Now, as Peter was going here and there among them all, he finally went down to God's people who lived at Lydda.

Now while Peter was still at a loss to know what the vision he had seen could mean, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked for the way to Simon's house and had stopped at the gate;

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreign-born Jews who are scattered over Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ have obtained the same precious faith that we have:

As He was walking by the shore of the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was summed Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Peter answered Him, "Lord, if it is you, let me come to you on the water."

And He said, "Come." And Peter got down out of the boat and walked on the water, and he went toward Jesus.

Then Peter said to Him, "Explain the maxim for us."

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

And I, yes I, tell you, your name from now on is to be Peter, Rock, and on a massive rock like this I will build my church, and the powers of the underworld shall never overthrow it.

And Peter took Him aside and began to chide Him, as he said, "Heaven shield you, my Lord! This must never be your lot!"

But He turned and said to Peter, "Get out of my way, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me, for this view of yours is not from God but from men."

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain, by themselves.

And Peter interrupted, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here! If you consent, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does your Teacher pay the temple tax?"

Then Peter came up to Him and asked, "Lord, how many times may my brother wrong me and I have to forgive him? As many as seven?"

Then Peter answered Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you. What then are we to get?"

Here are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who was named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John,

Peter answered, "Though all the rest of them stumble over you, I will never do so."

Peter answered, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you."

Then He came back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Could you not then watch with me a single hour?

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a waiting girl came up to him, and said, "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean."

A few minutes afterward the bystanders came up to Peter and said, "You are surely one of them, too, for your accent gives you away."

Then Peter remembered Jesus' words, "Before a cock crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Then He began to ask them, "Who do you yourselves say that I am?" Peter answered Him, "You are the Christ."

And without any reserve He was telling them this fact. So Peter took Him aside and began to reprove Him for it.

But He turned and glanced at His disciples and reproved Peter by saying, "Get out of my way, Satan, for this view of yours is not from God but from men!"

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him, and led them up on a high mountain, alone by themselves. And in their presence His appearance was changed,

Then Peter interrupted and said to Jesus, "Teacher, it is good for us to be here. So let us put up three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

The Twelve whom He appointed were: Peter, the name which He gave to Simon,

And Peter followed Him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; he was sitting with the attendants and warming himself before the fire.

and when she saw that Peter was warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!"

But he denied it again. And again a few minutes later the bystanders began to say to Peter, "You are surely one of them, for you are a Galilean too."

At that moment for the second time a Cock crowed. Then Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will disown me three times!" And when he remembered that, he burst into tears.

But you go and tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going back to Galilee to meet you; you will see Him there, just as He told you.'"

Then Peter started to say to Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you."

And Peter remembered about it, and said to Him, "Look, Teacher! The fig tree which you cursed has withered!"

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew, in a private group, were asking Him,

Then Peter said to Him, "Although all the rest of them stumble over you, yet I will never do so myself."

But Peter kept on emphatically saying, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And they all kept saying the same thing.

And he took Peter, James, and John along with Him, and He began to feel completely dazed and to realize His anguish of heart,

And He went back and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch a single hour?

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' feet and said, "Leave me, Lord, because I am a sinful man."

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

Then Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" But as all were denying that they had done so, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are jamming you and jostling you."

So He said to them, "But who do you, yourselves, say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God!"

Now about eight days after Jesus said this, He took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but all at once they became wide awake and saw His splendor and the two men who were standing with Him.

And just as they were starting to leave Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" -- although he did not know what he was saying.

Peter said to Him, "Lord, do you mean this story for us, or is it for everybody?"

Then Peter said to Him, "We have left our very own, homes and all, and have followed you."

So He sent Peter and John, saying to them, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."

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

But He said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow today before you deny three times that you know me!"

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

And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats together, Peter, too, was sitting among them.

A little later a man looked at 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 mean." And all at once, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.

[Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb, and stooped down and saw the linen clothes but nothing else. Then he went home wondering at what had taken place.]

Then he took him to Jesus. Jesus looked him over and said, "You are Simon, son of John. From now on your name shall be Cephas" (which means Peter, or Rock).

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.

Simon Peter answered Him, "To whom can we go, Lord? You have the message that gives eternal life,

Peter said to Him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "Unless I do wash you, you can have no share with me."

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, do not stop with my feet, then, but wash my hands and face too!"

So Simon Peter nodded to him to ask Him which one it was that He meant.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me just now, but you will later follow me."

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow you right now? I will lay down my life for you."

Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into the sheath. Must I not drink the cup which the Father has handed me?"

Because it was cold, the slaves and attendants had made a charcoal fire and were standing about it warming themselves; so Peter too was standing among them warming himself.

But Simon Peter still stood warming himself. So they said to him, "You too are not one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "No, I am not."

Then Peter again denied it, and at that moment a cock crowed.

So she ran away and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus tenderly loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."

So Peter and the other disciple left the city and started for the tomb.

And they both kept running, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.

Then Simon Peter came running up behind him, and he went inside, and saw the bandages lying on the ground,

Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus, were all together.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you too." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

So Simon Peter got into the boat, and pulled the net ashore, full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.
