Simon

Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.

Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),

And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”

Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”

While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

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

Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken 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 into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
