Peter (Simon Peter)

Simon Peter, commonly known as Peter, was one of Jesus Christ’s closest followers and a key figure in Christianity. Originally a fisherman, he was called by Jesus to become a “fisher of men,” meaning he would help spread Jesus’ teachings. Peter is often considered the leader of the apostles and is known for his strong faith, as well as moments of doubt. After Jesus’ resurrection, Peter played a significant role in establishing the early Christian church. His life reflects themes of transformation, leadership, and human imperfection, making him a central figure in Christian history.
