-
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.
-
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter).
-
Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
-
Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up,
-
Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
-
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
-
“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
-
“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
-
Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him.
-
Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”
-
Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Peter’s First Denial
Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
-
but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
-
“You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He replied, “I am not.”
-
It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.”
-
One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”
-
Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
-
So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
-
So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
-
Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
