Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and went in with Jesus to the chief priest's court;

but Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought in Peter.

Then the female servant, the door-keeper, said to Peter, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said, I am not.

And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew.

Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord from the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of great fishes a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many the net was not broken.

When therefore they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my lambs.

He said to him a third time; Simon, son of John, are you a friend to me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Are you a friend to me? and he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.

And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you?

And hearing [this] they were distressed in mind, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do?

And Peter said to them, Change your minds, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

And Peter seeing it answered the people, Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? or why do you look intently at us as if by our power or piety we had made him walk?

Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,

And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and supposing that they were illiterate and common men, they wondered, and perceived that they had been with Jesus;

But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge;

But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and that you should keep back a part of the price of the land?

And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the field for so much? And she said, Yes; for so much.

And Peter said to her, Why have you agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those that buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.

And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus Christ cures you; arise and make your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

But Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him requesting, Do not delay to come to us.

And Peter arose and came with them; and when he had come they led him into the upper room, and all the widows stood by weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

And Peter putting them all out knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter sat up.

And while Peter doubted with himself what the vision which he had seen meant, behold, even [then] the men sent by Cornelius, having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

and calling aloud asked if Simon who was called Peter lodged there.

And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause for which you have come?

for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

Peter therefore was kept by the guard; but prayer was made incessantly by the church to God for him.

And when Herod was about to bring him forward, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards kept watch before the door.

And behold, an angel of the Lord came, and a light shone in the building; and striking Peter on the side he awoke him saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

and knowing the voice of Peter she did not open the gate from joy, but ran in and told that Peter stood before the gate.
