-'''Peter''' was one of [[Jesus]]' twelve disciples.
-Peter was son of Jona (or Jonah) <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2016:17;&version=31;</ref>, and his mother's name was never mentioned in the bible. His brother was [[Andrew]], another of Jesus' twelve disciples. Peter's name used to be Simon (or Simeon) but one day Andrew brought Peter to Jesus <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:41;&version=31;</ref> and there Jesus appointed him his new name. "Thou shalt be called Cephas," an Aramaic surname whose Greek synonym is Petros, or Peter, meaning "a rock" or "stone." <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:42;&version=31;</ref>
-Peter lived in [[Bethsaida]], along the western coast of the [[Sea of Galilee]]. [[Philip]], another of Jesus' twelve, also lived there. Brought up here, Peter was trained to be a fisher. He and Andrew were also taught throughout their lives the upcoming prophecy of the [[Messiah]] and studied the scriptures. Later in his life, he lived in [[Capernaum]], where his mother and Andrew lived with him. <ref>"http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%201:29;&version=31;"</ref> Peter was also married,<ref>"http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%208:14;&version=31;"</ref> and his wife most likely accompanied him on his travels. <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%209:5;&version=31;</ref>
-Peter, while in [[Rome]] around 67 AD, died a martyr. Jesus had predicted the violent death Peter would die, <ref>"http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2021:18,19;&version=31;"</ref> and his crucifixion in Rome is said to be the prophesy coming true. At the [[crucifixion]], Peter asked to be crucified upside down, beside he didn't deserve to die the same way Christ had died. He is identified as the first [[pope]] of the Roman Catholic Church.
