As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea ​— ​for they were fishermen.

Jesus went into Peter’s house and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.

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

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter answered him, “command me to come to you on the water.”

Then Peter said, “Explain this parable to us.”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, “Oh no,[fn] Lord! This will never happen to you! ”

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

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up[fn] three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax? ”

Then Peter approached him and asked, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? As many as seven times? ”

Then Peter responded to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. So what will there be for us? ”

Peter told him, “Even if everyone falls away because of you, I will never fall away.”

“Even if I have to die with you,” Peter told him, “I will never deny you,” and all the disciples said the same thing.

Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me one hour?

Peter was following him at a distance right to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and was sitting with the servants to see the outcome.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl approached him and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too.”

After a little while those standing there approached and said to Peter, “You really are one of them, since even your accent[fn] gives you away.”

and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

He appointed the Twelve:[fn] To Simon, he gave the name Peter;

He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter, James, and John, James’s brother.

“But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am? ”

Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”

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

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transfigured in front of them,

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here. Let’s set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” ​— ​

Peter began to tell him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”

Then Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”

While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

Peter told him, “Even if everyone falls away, I will not.”

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

Then he came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

Peter followed him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the servants,[fn] warming himself by the fire.

While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s maidservants came.

But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean.”[fn]

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time, and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word 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, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there just as he told you.’ ”

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord! ”

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

“Who touched me? ” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter[fn] said, “Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing against you.”[fn]

After he came to the house, he let no one enter with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

“But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am? ”

Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

About eight days after this conversation, he took along Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep,[fn] and when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
