One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said: "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or 'Peter,' which means 'Rock').

Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

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

Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life;

Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.

Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,

So while supper was proceeding, and the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me."

"Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

When he had spoken thus, Jesus was deeply moved. He testified and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."

So Simon Peter beckoned to him, saying, "Ask who it is about whom he is speaking."

Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" "Where I am going," answered Jesus, "you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me later."

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him.

"Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not better than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they have obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and striking at the high priest's slave, cut off his right ear.

(The slave's name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple who was known to the high priest, and they went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest's palace.

But Peter took his stand outside, near the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest came out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

The doorkeeper (a maid servant) then said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" "No I am not," he answered.

Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you not?" He denied it, saying "I am not."

One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."

Peter again denied it; and at that very moment a cock crew.

So she came running to Simon Peter and that other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!"

So Peter and the other disciples set out at once to go to the tomb.

They both began to run; and the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb.

Then Peter also came following him, and he went inside the tomb; and he gazed at the linen wrapping as they lay,

There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fisher's coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.

So Simon Peter went and dragged the net to shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; but for all this number the net was not torn.

When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."

This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."

Peter turned around and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following??e who at the supper leaned back upon his breast and said, "Lord, who is to betray you?"

On catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
