Simon

And Iesus walking by the sea of Galile, sawe two brethren, Simon, which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers.)

And when Iesus came to Peters house, he sawe his wiues mother layed downe, and sicke of a feuer.

Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother.

Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.

And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus.

Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare vnto vs this parable.

Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the liuing God.

And Iesus answered, and saide to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the sonne of Ionas: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.

And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will builde my Church: and ye gates of hell shall not ouercome it.

Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy selfe: this shall not be vnto thee.

Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men.

And after sixe dayes, Iesus tooke Peter, and Iames and Iohn his brother, and brought them vp into an hie mountaine apart,

Then answered Peter, and saide to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: if thou wilt, let vs make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receiued polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay polle money?

He sayd, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whome doe the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers?

Peter sayd vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children free.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?

Then answered Peter, and said to him, Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee: what therefore shall we haue?

But Peter aunswered, and sayde vnto him, Though that al men should be offended by thee, yet will I neuer be offended.

Peter saide vnto him, Though I should die with thee, I will in no case denie thee. Likewise also sayd all the disciples.

And hee tooke vnto him Peter, and the two sonnes of Zebedeus, and began to waxe sorowfull, and grieuously troubled.

After, hee came vnto the disciples, and founde them a sleepe, and sayde to Peter, What? coulde yee not watch with me one houre?

And Peter followed him a farre off vnto the hie Priestes hall, and went in, and sate with the seruants to see the ende.

Peter sate without in the hall, and a maide came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile:

So after a while, came vnto him they that stoode by, and sayde vnto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for euen thy speache bewraieth thee.
