When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave
orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19 Then
a teacher of the law came to him and said,
“Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have
nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his
head.” 21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let
me go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus told him,
“Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
11. Matthew 马太 9:9
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man
named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s

16. Peter’s following 彼得的跟从 :
Matt 马太 4:19
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will
send you out to fish for people.”
耶稣就对他们说:“来跟从我,我要使你
们作得人的渔夫。”
17. Luke 路 5
1
One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of
Gennesaret, the people were crowding around
him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at
the water’s edge two boats, left there by the
fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He
got into one of the boats, the one belonging to
Simon, and asked him to put out a little from
shore. Then he sat down and taught the people
from the boat.
18. Luke 路 5
4
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for
a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked
hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But
because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6
When they had done so, they caught such a large
number of fish that their nets began to break.7 So
they signaled their partners in the other boat to
come and help them, and they came and filled both
boats so full that they began to sink.
19. Luke 路 5
8
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’
knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a
sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions
were astonished at the catch of fish they had
taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons
of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to
Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will
fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up
on shore, left everything and followed him.

Christ 彼得最光荣的时刻 – 他对基督的启
示 (Matt 马太 16)
• Peter’s worst moment – his denial of Christ
彼得最恶劣的时刻 – 他不认基督 (Matt 马
太 27)
24. Matt 马太 26:58
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.
彼得远远地跟着耶稣,直到大祭司的官
邸。他进到里面,和差役坐在一起,要
看事情怎样了结。
26. John 21
1
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the
Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter,
Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana
in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples
were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter
told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they
went out and got into the boat, but that night they
caught nothing. 4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on
the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was
Jesus. 5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any
fish?” “No,” they answered.
27. John 21
6
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and
you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to
haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 7 Then
the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he
wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it
off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples
followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they
were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. [c]9 When
they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish
on it, and some bread.
28. John 21
10
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have
just caught.”11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the
boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large
fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
12
Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None
of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They
knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and
gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This
was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples
after he was raised from the dead.
29. John 21
15
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than
these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon
son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord,
you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my
sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of
John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus
asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said,
“Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
30. John 21
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when
you were younger you dressed yourself and went
where you wanted; but when you are old you will
stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress
you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus
said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter
would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
