Peter
Peter, one of Jesus' twelve disciple's.
Peter was son of Jona (or John) [1], 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 (John 1:41) 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." (John 1:42)
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. (Mark 1:29) Peter was also married,(Matthew 8:14) and his wife most likely accompanied him on his travels. (1 Corinthians 9:5-compare to )
Peter, while in Rome around 67 AD, died a martyr. Jesus had predicted the voilent death Peter would die, (John 21:18,19) and his crucifixion in Rome is said to be the prophesy coming true. At the crucifixon, Peter asked to be crucified upside down, beside he didn't deserve to die the same way Christ had died.
