And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea -- for they were fishers --

look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?

And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid, and fevered,

And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;

be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.

How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.'

And Peter answering him said, 'Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;'

and he said, 'Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,

And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'

and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;'

and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'

And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'

Peter saith to him, 'From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, 'Then are the sons free;

and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

Then Peter having come near to him, said, 'Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him -- till seven times?'

Then Peter answering said to him, 'Lo, we did leave all, and follow thee, what then shall we have?'

And Peter answering said to him, 'Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.'

Peter saith to him, 'Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples.

And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy;

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, 'So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me!

and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, 'Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'

and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him -- 'Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;

and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.'

And he put on Simon the name Peter;

And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

And he saith to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'

and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, 'Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,

And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'

and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire --

And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'

and Peter having remembered saith to him, 'Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'

And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 'Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,

and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'

and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, 'Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'

and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- 'Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping.

and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.'

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.

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;

And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;

he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him -- 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;'

one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'

Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

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

Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;'

and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.'

One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter saith to them, 'I go away to fish;' they say to him, 'We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing.
