Jesus Heals Many
When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
-
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
-
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
-
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
-
Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
-
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
-
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
-
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
-
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
-
The Transfiguration
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
-
Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
-
The Temple Tax
After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
-
“Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”
-
“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him.
-
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
-
Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
-
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
-
Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
-
But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
-
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
-
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.
-
But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
-
Peter Disowns Jesus
Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
