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=45;"</ref> and there Jesus appointed him his new name.

Peter lived in [[Bethsida]], 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=45;"</ref> Peter was also married,<ref>"http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%208:14;&version=45;"</ref> and his wife most likely accompanied him on his travels. <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%209:5;&version=45;</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=45;"</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.
