And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.
Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water.
And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.
Then Peter said to him, Make the story clear to us.
And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.
And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.
But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?
Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?
Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?
But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.
Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.
And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?
But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.
Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.
And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
To Simon he gave the second name of Peter;
And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.
And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.
But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:
And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.
And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.
And while he was seated on the mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,
But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.
And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.
And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?
And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.
And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;
And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.
But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.
And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.
But go, say to his disciples and to Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he said to you.
Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and philip and Bartholomew
And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.
And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.
And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.
And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.
Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.
And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.
And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.
And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.
And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.
And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.
And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.
But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,
Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;
So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?
Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.
Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.
Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;
But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.
Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.
Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.
But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.
One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.
Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.
So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.
They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;
Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,
Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.
Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.
So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.
So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.
Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.
