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

He said, "Come." Then Peter got out of the boat and walked over the water on his way to Jesus;

Peter answered, "Explain this parable to us at anyrate."

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

Now I tell you, Peter is your name and on this rock I will build my church; the powers of Hades shall not succeed against it.

Peter took him and began to reprove him for it; "God forbid, Lord," he said, "This must not be."

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me! Your outlook is not God's but man's."

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high hill by themselves;

So Peter addressed Jesus and said, "Lord, it is a good thing we are here; pray let me put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

If your hand or your foot is a hindrance to you, cut it off and throw it away; better be maimed or crippled and get into Life, than keep both feet or hands and be thrown into the everlasting fire.

If your eye is a hindrance to you, tear it out and throw it away; better get into Life with one eye than keep your two eyes and be thrown into the fire of Gehenna.

Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often is my brother to sin against me and be forgiven? Up to seven times?"

Then Peter replied, "Well, we have left our all and followed you. Now what are we to get?"

And many will be repelled then, they will betray one another and hate one another.

But the sensible replied, 'No, there may not be enough for us and for you. Better go to the dealers and buy for yourselves.'

and as they were eating he said, "One of you is going to betray me."

He answered, "One who has dipped his hand into the same dish as myself is going to betray me.

The Son of man goes the road that the scripture has described for him, but woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better that man had never been born!"

Peter answered, "Supposing they are all disconcerted over you, I will not be disconcerted."

Peter said to him, "Even though I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the disciples said the same thing.

But he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedaeus along with him; and when he began to feel distressed and agitated,

Then he went to the disciples and found them asleep; and he said to Peter, "So the three of you could not watch with me for a single hour?

Peter followed him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and when he got inside he sat down beside the attendants to see the end.

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

After a little the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "To be sure, you are one of them too. Why, your accent betrays you!"

He would not allow anyone to accompany him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

So he inquired of them, "And who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Christ."

he spoke of this quite freely. Peter took him and began to reprove him for it,

but he turned on him and noticing his disciples reproved Peter, telling him, "Get behind me, you Satan! Your outlook is not God's but man's."

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and John, and led them up a high hill by themselves alone; in their presence he was transfigured,

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

And whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea.

If your eye is a hindrance to you, tear it out: better get into God's Realm with one eye, than keep your two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna,

Peter began, "Well, we have left our all and followed you."

Then Peter remembered. "Rabbi," he said, "there is the fig tree you cursed, all withered!"

The Son of man goes the road that the scripture has described for him, but woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better that man had never been born!"

Peter said to him, "Though all are disconcerted, I will not be."

But he took Peter and James and John along with him; and as he began to feel appalled and agitated,

Then he came and found them asleep; so he said to Peter, "Are you sleeping, Simon? Could you not watch for a single hour?

Peter followed him at a distance till he got inside the courtyard of the high priest, where he sat down with the attendants to warm himself at the fire.

Now as Peter was downstairs in the courtyard, a maidservant of the high priest came along,

and when she noticed Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazaret too."

But he denied it again. After a little the bystanders once more said to Peter, "To be sure, you are one of them. Why, you are a Galilean!"

At that moment the cock crowed for the second time. Then Peter remembered how Jesus had told him, "Before the cock crows twice you will disown me thrice;" and he burst into tears.

When he reached the house he would not allow anyone to come in with him except Peter and James and John, and the child's father and mother.

He said to them, "And who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "The Christ of God."

It was about eight days after he said this, when he took Peter, John, and James, and went up the hillside to pray.

Now Peter and his companions had been overpowered with sleep, but on waking up they saw his glory and the two men who were standing beside him.

When they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" (not knowing what he was saying).

Better cleanse what is within; then nothing will be unclean for you.

Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or is it for all and sundry?"

Peter said, "Well, we have left our homes and followed you!"

So Jesus despatched Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us that we may eat it."

Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow to-day before you have three times denied that you know me."

but Jesus said to him, "Judas! would you betray the Son of man with a kiss?"

Then they arrested him and led him away inside the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance

Shortly afterwards another man noticed him and said, "Why, you are one of them!" "Man," said Peter, "I am not."

"Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." Instantly, just as he was speaking, the cock crowed;

the Lord turned round and looked at Peter, and then Peter remembered what the Lord had told him, that 'Before cock-crow to-day you will disown me three times.'

Peter did get up and run to the tomb, but when he looked in he saw nothing except the linen bandages; so he went away home wondering what had happened.

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

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

One of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to betray him), said,

so at supper, knowing that though the devil had suggested to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

He came to Simon Peter. "Lord," said he, "you to wash my feet!"

Said Peter, "You will never wash my feet, never!" "Unless I wash you," Jesus replied, "you will not share my lot."

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