As He was walking by the shore of the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was summed Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

So if your right eye causes you to do wrong, pluck it out of your way; for it is better to have one part of your body suffer loss than to have your whole body go down to the pit.

And if your right hand causes you to do wrong, cut it off and put it out of your way, for it is better to have one part of your body suffer loss than to have your whole body go down to the pit.

When He went into Peter's house, He saw his mother-in-law lying in bed sick with fever.

Here are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who was named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John,

No pupil is better than his teacher, and no slave is better than his master.

Peter answered Him, "Lord, if it is you, let me come to you on the water."

And He said, "Come." And Peter got down out of the boat and walked on the water, and he went toward Jesus.

Then Peter said to Him, "Explain the maxim for us."

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

And I, yes I, tell you, your name from now on is to be Peter, Rock, and on a massive rock like this I will build my church, and the powers of the underworld shall never overthrow it.

And Peter took Him aside and began to chide Him, as he said, "Heaven shield you, my Lord! This must never be your lot!"

But He turned and said to Peter, "Get out of my way, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me, for this view of yours is not from God but from men."

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain, by themselves.

And Peter interrupted, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here! If you consent, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does your Teacher pay the temple tax?"

But whoever leads one of these little ones, who believe in me, to do wrong, had better have a great millstone hung around his neck to sink him to the bottom of the sea.

"And if your own hand or your own foot makes you do wrong, cut it off and put it out of your way. It is better for you to get into life maimed or crippled than to have both hands or both feet to be thrown into everlasting torture.

And if your own eye makes you do wrong, pluck it out and put it out of your way. It is better for you to go into life with a single eye than to have both eyes to be thrown into the pit of torture.

Then Peter came up to Him and asked, "Lord, how many times may my brother wrong me and I have to forgive him? As many as seven?"

Then Peter answered Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you. What then are we to get?"

Who ever falls upon that stone will be broken to pieces, but whomever it falls upon will be crushed to powder."

Then many will fall by the way, and will betray one another and hate one another.

And while they were eating, He said, "I solemnly say to you, one of you is going to betray me."

He answered, "The man who has just dipped his hand with me in the dish is the man who is going to betray me.

The Son of Man is going away as the Scriptures say of Him, but a curse will be on that man by whom He is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had never been born!"

Peter answered, "Though all the rest of them stumble over you, I will never do so."

Peter answered, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you."

And He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons along with Him and He began to give way to His grief and distress of heart.

Then He came back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Could you not then watch with me a single hour?

And Peter followed Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest's home; he even went inside and was sitting among the attendants to see how it would end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a waiting girl came up to him, and said, "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean."

A few minutes afterward the bystanders came up to Peter and said, "You are surely one of them, too, for your accent gives you away."

Then Peter remembered Jesus' words, "Before a cock crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

So after consultation they bought with it the Potter's Field as a burying-ground for strangers.

and gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me."

The Twelve whom He appointed were: Peter, the name which He gave to Simon,

He let no one go with Him but Peter, James, and James's brother John.

Then He began to ask them, "Who do you yourselves say that I am?" Peter answered Him, "You are the Christ."

And without any reserve He was telling them this fact. So Peter took Him aside and began to reprove Him for it.

But He turned and glanced at His disciples and reproved Peter by saying, "Get out of my way, Satan, for this view of yours is not from God but from men!"

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him, and led them up on a high mountain, alone by themselves. And in their presence His appearance was changed,

Then Peter interrupted and said to Jesus, "Teacher, it is good for us to be here. So let us put up three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And whoever leads one of these lowly believers to do wrong, might better have a huge millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea.

If your hand makes you do wrong, cut it off. You might better go into life maimed than keep both your hands and go down to the pit, to the fire that is never put out.

And if your foot makes you do wrong, cut it off. You might better go into life crippled than keep both your feet and be thrown into the pit.

And if your eye makes you do wrong, tear it out. You might better go into the kingdom of God with only one eye than keep both your eyes and be thrown into the pit,

Then Peter started to say to Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you."

And Peter remembered about it, and said to Him, "Look, Teacher! The fig tree which you cursed has withered!"

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew, in a private group, were asking Him,

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the high priests to betray Him to them.

They were delighted to hear it, and promised to pay him for it. So he kept looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them.

And while they were sitting at table and eating, Jesus said, "I solemnly say to you, one of you, one who is now eating with me, is going to betray me."

For the Son of Man is going away, as the Scriptures say of Him, but a curse will be on that man by whom He is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had never been born."

Then Peter said to Him, "Although all the rest of them stumble over you, yet I will never do so myself."

But Peter kept on emphatically saying, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And they all kept saying the same thing.

And he took Peter, James, and John along with Him, and He began to feel completely dazed and to realize His anguish of heart,

And He went back and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch a single hour?

And Peter followed Him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; he was sitting with the attendants and warming himself before the fire.

While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's waiting girls came up,

and when she saw that Peter was warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!"

But he denied it again. And again a few minutes later the bystanders began to say to Peter, "You are surely one of them, for you are a Galilean too."

At that moment for the second time a Cock crowed. Then Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will disown me three times!" And when he remembered that, he burst into tears.

But you go and tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going back to Galilee to meet you; you will see Him there, just as He told you.'"

that you may better know the certainty of those things that you have been taught.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' feet and said, "Leave me, Lord, because I am a sinful man."

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

A pupil is not better than his teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher.

Then Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" But as all were denying that they had done so, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are jamming you and jostling you."

When He reached the house, He let no one go in with Him but Peter, James, and John, and the child's father and mother.

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

Now about eight days after Jesus said this, He took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but all at once they became wide awake and saw His splendor and the two men who were standing with Him.

And just as they were starting to leave Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" -- although he did not know what he was saying.

But He said, "Yes, but better still, blessed are those who listen to God's message and practice it!"

Peter said to Him, "Lord, do you mean this story for us, or is it for everybody?"

But when you are invited anywhere, go and take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he may say to you, 'My friend, come up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow-guests.

It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck, and he be hurled into the sea, than for him to ensnare one of these lowly ones.

Then Peter said to Him, "We have left our very own, homes and all, and have followed you."

So he went off and discussed with the high priests and captains of the temple how he could betray Him to them.

He in turn accepted their offer and began to seek a favorable opportunity to betray Him to them without exciting an uprising.

So He sent Peter and John, saying to them, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."

But Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go even to prison and to death with you!"

But He said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow today before you deny three times that you know me!"

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

Then they arrested Him and led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest. Peter was following at a distance.

And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats together, Peter, too, was sitting among them.

A little later a man looked at him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you mean." And all at once, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter was reminded of the word that the Lord had spoken to him, "Before a cock crows today, you will disown me three times."

And he went outside and burst into bitter tears.

[Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb, and stooped down and saw the linen clothes but nothing else. Then he went home wondering at what had taken place.]

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

Then he took him to Jesus. Jesus looked him over and said, "You are Simon, son of John. From now on your name shall be Cephas" (which means Peter, or Rock).

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

So he asked them at what hour he began to get better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

Another of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

But there are some of you who do not trust in me." For Jesus knew from the start who they were that did not trust in Him, and who it was that was going to betray Him.

Simon Peter answered Him, "To whom can we go, Lord? You have the message that gives eternal life,

He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son, for he was going to betray Him, although he was one of the Twelve.
