Simon

Peter remembered the word which Yeshua had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.

Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with Jacob and Yochanan.

Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, Jacob, and Yochanan the brother of Jacob.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

After six days Yeshua took with him Peter, Jacob, and Yochanan, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

Peter answered Yeshua, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, Jacob, Yochanan, and Andrew asked him privately,

But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”

He took with him Peter, Jacob, and Yochanan, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Yeshua!”

But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Yeshua said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

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

Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
