Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

He said, "Come!" Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

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

I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."

But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men."

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let's make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?"

Peter said to him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"

Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"

From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."

Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.

He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?

But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!"

After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."

Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.

They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

Peter answered Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched --

If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and have followed you."

Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me -- he who eats with me."

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"

But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"

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

No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, 'The old is better.'"

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

Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"

When he came to the house, he didn't allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

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

It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.

Peter said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?"

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

Peter said, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you."

He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

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

They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.

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

After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

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

The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times."

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

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

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).

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

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him."

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

Then Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"
