Peter

27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Then Peter said to him, "Look, we left everything and followed you. So what will we get?"

28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth. One day God will make everything new. Then the Son of Man will sit on his shining throne. You who followed me will sit on twelve thrones. You will judge the twelve family groups of Israel."

29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

"Some people have given up things to follow me. They left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or land. Each one of them will get back a hundred times as much. They will also receive life forever."

30But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

"But many who are first now will be last. And many who are last now will be first."

31Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

Then Jesus said, "Tonight all of you will run away from me. God's writings say, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will scatter.'"

32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

"But after I am raised back to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

Peter said to him, "Even if everyone else runs away from you, I never will."

34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth. Tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me."

35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Peter said, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never say that." All the other followers said the same thing.

36Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane. He said, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. He began to feel very sad and troubled.

38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

He said to them, "My heart is so sad that I feel like I could die. Stay here and stay awake with me."

39And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

He walked a little farther. He lay face down and prayed, "My Father, if it can be done, take this cup of suffering away from me. But do what you want, not what I want."

40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

He came back and found his followers asleep. He said to Peter, "Could you not stay awake with me for one hour?"

41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

"Stay awake and pray, so you are not pulled into doing wrong. Your heart wants to do right, but your body is weak."

42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

He went away a second time and prayed. He said, "My Father, if this cup cannot be taken away, and I must drink it, then let what you want happen."

43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

He came back and found them asleep again. Their eyes were very heavy.

44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

So he left them and went away again. He prayed a third time and said the same words.

45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then he came to his followers. He said, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the time has come. The Son of Man is handed over to sinful men."

46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

"Get up. Let's go. Look, here comes the man who is handing me over."

69Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

Peter was sitting outside in the yard. A servant girl came to him. She said, "You were with Jesus from Galilee too."

70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

But he said it was not true, right in front of everyone. He said, "I do not know what you are talking about."

71And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

He went out to the gate. Another servant girl saw him. She said to the people there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

72And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

Again he said it was not true. This time he swore it. He said, "I do not know the man!"

73And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

A little later, the people standing there came to Peter. They said, "You really are one of them. The way you talk shows it."

74Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

Then Peter began to curse and swear. He said, "I do not know the man!" Right then a rooster crowed.

75And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Peter remembered what Jesus had told him. Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me." Peter went outside and cried hard.

16Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, a large lake. He saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water. They caught fish for their work.

17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Jesus said to them, "Come and follow me. You gather fish now. I will teach you to gather people."

18And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

Right away they left their nets and went with him.

19And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

He walked a little farther. He saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, fixing their nets.

20And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

Right away Jesus called them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers. Then they went with Jesus.

29And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

As soon as they left the synagogue, they went to Simon and Andrew's house. James and John went with them.

30But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

Simon's wife's mother was in bed, sick with a fever. They told Jesus about her right away.

31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Jesus went to her. He took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began serving them.

32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

That evening, after the sun went down, people brought Jesus everyone who was sick. They also brought people who had demons inside them.

33And all the city was gathered together at the door.

The whole town crowded together at the door.

34And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

Jesus healed many people who had many kinds of sickness. He also sent many demons out of people. He would not let the demons speak, because they knew who he was.

35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

While he was still talking, people came from Jairus's house. They said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"

36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Jesus heard what they said. He told Jairus, "Do not be afraid. Just believe."

37And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

He let no one come with him except Peter, James, and John, who was James's brother.

38And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

They came to the synagogue leader's house. Jesus saw all the noise and people crying loudly.

39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

He went inside and said, "Why all this noise and crying? The child is not dead. She is asleep."

40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

They laughed at him. He sent them all outside. Then he took the girl's father and mother and his three friends into the room where she lay.

41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

He took the girl by the hand and said, "Talitha cumi." That means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"

42And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Right away the girl got up and walked around. She was twelve years old. Everyone there was amazed.

43And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Jesus told them firmly not to tell anyone about it. Then he said to give her something to eat.

27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

Jesus and his followers went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"

28And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist. Some say Elias, that is Elijah. Others say you are one of the prophets, men who told people what God said."

29And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

Then he asked, "But who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

30And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

31And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Then he began to teach them. He said the Son of Man must suffer many things. That was the name Jesus used for himself. The older leaders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the law would turn against him. He would be killed. After three days he would rise again.

32And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

He said all this plainly, so they could not miss it. Peter took him aside and began to tell him he was wrong.

33But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Jesus turned around and looked at his followers. He told Peter he was wrong. He said, "Get behind me, Satan. You are not thinking about the things of God. You are thinking about the things of people."
