As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

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

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

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

And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from others?"

Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to carry his cross.

And as he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the Sea; for they were fishermen.

As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew.

Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

And Simon and those who were with him searched for him,

Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly. And she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

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

Then they compelled a certain man, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry his cross.

And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they made request of him on her behalf.

Then he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."

And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

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

and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."

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

Matthew, and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

And Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he said, "Teacher, say it."

Simon answered, "I suppose the one to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly."

Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.

And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

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

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means the Christ).

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).

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

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

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

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

Simon Peter motioned to him and said, "Ask who it is of whom he speaks."

Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

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

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

Now Simon Peter stood warming himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

So she ran, and came to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."

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

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

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

Now there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,

Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

And Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me."

And Peter stayed for many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

Now send men to Joppa, and bring a man named Simon who is called Peter;

he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea."

Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, appeared at the gate.

They called out, asking whether Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'

And he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, 'Send to Joppa and bring Simon, who is also called Peter;

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
