Simon

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

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

“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”

Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.

But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

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

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).

Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
