¹⁸And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

⁷Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.

¹⁵Then, when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” ¹⁶He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” ¹⁷He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.

³⁸Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

¹⁵But sanctify Christ the Lord in your hearts, being always ready to give an explanation to all who ask you the reason for that hope which is in you.

¹⁰Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and he struck the servant of the high priest, and he cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.

¹Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, ²in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you. ³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead: ⁴unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven. ⁵By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time. ⁶In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,

³¹And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat. ³²But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.” ³³And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.” ³⁴And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,

²⁸Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you over the waters.”

³⁴saying: “In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.”

¹⁸And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.

⁴²And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).

¹²But Peter, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.

²¹From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day. ²²And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.” ²³And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”

⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

¹And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. ²But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’ ³and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times? ⁴An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away. ⁵And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread. ⁶And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

¹⁹And he said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
