And as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishers.

Observe the birds of the air, that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into granaries. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and ill of a fever.

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

How much better, then, is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath-days.

And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And he said: Come. And Peter went down from the ship, and walked upon the water to go to Jesus.

But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying.

Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.

But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up into a high mountain apart:

And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And when they had come into Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma came to Peter, and said: Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?

Peter said to him: From the sons of others. Jesus said to him: Then are their own sons free.

but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

If, then, your hand or your foot ensnares you, cut it off, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your eye ensnares you, pull it out, and throw it from you. It is better to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell-fire.

Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?

Peter answered and said to him: Though all shall be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.

Peter said to him: Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee. In like manner said all the disciples.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be in deep distress and anguish of soul.

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

But Peter followed him, at a distance, to the palace of the chief priest, and went in and sat with the attendants, to see the end.

But Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid servant came to him, and said: You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

After a little while, those who stood by came and said to Peter: Of a truth you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And they took counsel, and bought with it the potter's field, as a burial-place for foreigners.

and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

And Simon he surnamed Peter;

And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.

And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But he turned about, and, looking on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get behind me, adversary: for you are not thinking of the things of God, but of the things of men.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up alone into a high mountain apart; and he was transfigured before them;

And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And whoever will ensnare one of these little ones that believe on me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And if your hand ensnare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And if your foot en snare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to Be thrown into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be thrown into hell-fire,

And Peter began to say to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.

And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:

Peter said to him: Though all should find occasion for offense, yet I will not.

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be in dismay and anguish of soul.

And he came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Simon, do you sleep? Had you not strength to watch one hour?

And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire.

And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest came;

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs.

And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.

And no one, after drinking old wine, immediately desires new; for he says: The old is better.

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

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.

He said to them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said: The Christ of God.

And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.

Then Peter said to him: Lord, dost them speak this parable to us, or also to all?

It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.

And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, make ready the passover for us, that we may eat it.

He replied: I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before you have three times denied that you know me.

And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the chief priest. But Peter followed at a distance.

And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them.

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

But Peter said: Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew.

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.

And Peter went out and wept bitterly.

But Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.

One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

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

One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:

But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.

Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life;

Then he came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Peter said to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.

Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

Then Simon Peter beckoned to this one, that he should inquire who it was of whom he spoke.

Simon Peter said to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him: Whither I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me hereafter.

Peter said to him: Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.

Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.

But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.

Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.

And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming them selves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

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

One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?

Then Peter denied again. And immediately the 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 out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and came to the tomb.

And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

Then came Simon Peter, following him; and he went into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying,

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