But He turned and said to Peter, Go, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men.

And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart.

And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and He began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

And He came to the disciples and found them asleep. And He said to Peter, What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Could you not watch one hour?

And Peter followed Him from a distance to the inside of the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

And as Peter was below in the palace, one of the servant women of the high priest came.

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him and said, And you also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

And he denied it again. And a little after, those who stood by said again to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech agrees.

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep. But fully awakening, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.

Whoever shall fall on that Stone shall be broken, but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

And going, he talked with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

And after a little while another saw him and said, You also are of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not!

And Peter said, Man, I do not know what you say. And immediately, while he still spoke, the cock crowed.

And the Lord turned and looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.

And Peter went out and wept bitterly.

And Peter arose and ran to the tomb, and stooping down he saw the linens lying alone. And he went away wondering to himself at what had happened.

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

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

Then he asked of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
