• Luke 22:62

• John 13:10

  Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

• John 13:11

• John 13:36

  Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”

• John 13:37

• John 13:38

  Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.

• John 18:15

  Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

• John 18:17

  Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

• John 18:18

  Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

• John 18:25

• John 20:3

  Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

• John 20:4

• John 21:3

  Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

• John 21:4

  But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

• John 21:5

  Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

• John 21:6

  He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

• John 21:7

  That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

• John 21:8

  But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

• John 21:9

  So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

• John 21:10

  Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

• John 21:11

  Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

• John 21:12

  Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

• John 21:13

  Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

• John 21:14

  This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

• John 21:15

  So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

• John 21:16

  He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

• John 21:17

  He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

• John 21:18

  Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.”

• John 21:19

  Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

• John 21:20

  Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”

• John 21:21

  Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

• John 21:22

  Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

• John 21:23

  This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”

• Acts 1:13

  When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

• Acts 2:27

  because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

• Acts 2:28

  You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

• Acts 2:29

  “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

• Acts 2:30

  Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

• Acts 2:31

  he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.

• Acts 2:32

  This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

• Acts 2:33

  Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

• Acts 2:34

  For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,

• Acts 2:35

  until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

• Acts 2:36

  “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

• Acts 2:37

  Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

• Acts 2:38

  Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

• Acts 2:39

  For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

• Acts 2:40

  With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

• Acts 4:1

  As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

• Acts 4:2

  being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

• Acts 4:3

  They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

• Acts 4:4

  But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

• Acts 4:5

  In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

• Acts 4:6

  Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

• Acts 4:7

  When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

• Acts 4:8

  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

• Acts 4:9

  if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

• Acts 4:10

  be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

• Acts 4:11

  He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

• Acts 4:12

  There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

• Acts 4:13

  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

• Acts 4:14

  Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

• Acts 4:15

  But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

• Acts 4:16

  saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

• Acts 4:17

  But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

• Acts 4:18

  They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

• Acts 4:19

  But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

• Acts 4:20

  for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

• Acts 4:21

  When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

• Acts 4:22

  For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

• Acts 4:23

  Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

• Acts 5:1

  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession,

• Acts 5:2

  and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

• Acts 5:3

  But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

• Acts 5:4

  While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

• Acts 5:5

  Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

• Acts 5:6

  The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

• Acts 5:7

  About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

• Acts 5:8

  Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

• Acts 5:9

  But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

• Acts 5:10

  She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

• Acts 5:11

  Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

• Acts 5:17

  But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

• Acts 5:18

  and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.

• Acts 5:19

  But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,

• Acts 5:20

  “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

• Acts 5:21

  When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

• Acts 5:22

  But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

• Acts 5:23

  “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

• Acts 5:24

  Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

• Acts 5:25

  One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

• Acts 5:26

  Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

• Acts 5:27

  When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

• Acts 5:28

  saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

• Acts 5:29

  But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

• Acts 5:30

  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

• Acts 5:31

  God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

• Acts 5:32

  We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

• Acts 5:33

  But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

• Acts 5:34

  But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

• Acts 5:35

  He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

• Acts 5:36

  For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.

• Acts 5:37

  After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

• Acts 5:38

  Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

• Acts 5:39

  But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

• Acts 5:40

  They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

• Acts 5:41

  They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

• Acts 5:42

  Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

• Acts 8:14

  Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

• Acts 8:15

  who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

• Acts 8:16

  for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.

• Acts 8:17

  Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

• Acts 8:18

  Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,

• Acts 8:19

  saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”

• Acts 8:20

  But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

• Acts 8:21

  You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

• Acts 8:22

  Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

• Acts 8:23

  For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”

• Acts 8:24

  Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”

• Acts 8:25

  They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.

• Acts 9:32

  As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

• Acts 9:33

  There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.

• Acts 9:34

  Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

• Acts 9:36

  Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.

• Acts 9:37

  In those days, she became sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

• 1 Corinthians 15:4

  that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

• 1 Corinthians 15:5

  and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

• Galatians 1:18

  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

• Galatians 2:9

  and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

• 2 Peter 1:16

  For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

• 2 Peter 1:17

  For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

• 2 Peter 1:18

  We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
