As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.

Peter said to him, "Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water."

So he said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

But Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."

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

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him: "God forbid, Lord! This must not happen to you!"

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but on man's."

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them privately up a high mountain.

So Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

After they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and said, "Your teacher pays the double drachma tax, doesn't he?"

He said, "Yes." When Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect tolls or taxes -- from their sons or from foreigners?"

"But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.

If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into fiery hell.

Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?"

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!"

Then Peter said to him, "Look, we have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"

Then many will be led into sin, and they will betray one another and hate one another.

and said, "What will you give me to betray him into your hands?" So they set out thirty silver coins for him.

From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

And while they were eating he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."

Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus replied, "You have said it yourself."

Peter said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And all the disciples said the same thing.

He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "So, couldn't you stay awake with me for one hour?

But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest's courtyard. After going in, he sat with the guards to see the outcome.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A slave girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

After a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, "You really are one of them too -- even your accent gives you away!"
