And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."

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

But Peter said to him, "Explain the 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 shall not prevail against it.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, "Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!"

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?"

And 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 maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

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

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

The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

Then Peter answered him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?"

[And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."]

And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.

And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.

The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

Peter declared to him, "Even if all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you." And so said all the disciples.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?

But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

After a little while those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."

And Peter remembered the word Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.

So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."

and she had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she owned, and was no better but rather grew worse.

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

And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

He spoke plainly about this. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But when he had turned around and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,

And Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, to the fire that shall never be quenched.

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."

Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."

Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray him to them.

And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought an opportunity to betray him.

And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

Peter said to him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."

And he took Peter, James and John with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled.

Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

But Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.

Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

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

But again he denied it. And after a little while again those standing near said to Peter, "Surely you are one of them; for you are a Gallilean."

And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

And no one after drinking old wine desires the new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"

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

And Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"

When he came into the house he permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

Now about eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.

As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"not knowing what he said.

Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to all?"

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round 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 you."

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and officers, how he might betray him to them.

So he consented, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

So he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day before you deny three times that you know me."

Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.

When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

And a little later some one else saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

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

But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

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

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

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

So he inquired of them the hour when his son got better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who was to betray him, though one of the twelve.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, said,

And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
