Hebrew: שמעון בר יונה Shim’on bar Yona,
Greek: Πέτρος Petros,

also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn,

*”saint peter” was 1 of the 12 apostles of ‘jesus christ’, leaders of the early “christian church”*
.
(he is also the “Apostle of the Apostles”, an honor 3rd-century theologian ‘Hippolytus of Rome’ gave him, and the ‘Roman Catholic Church’ considers him to be the first pope, ordained by Jesus in the “Rock of My Church” dialogue in ‘Matthew 16:18’)
(the ancient Christian churches all venerate ‘Peter’ as a major saint and associate him with founding the ‘Church of Antioch’ and later the ‘Church in Rome’, but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity)
(the ‘New Testament’ indicates that Peter was the son of ‘John’ (or Jonah or Jona) and was from the village of ‘Bethsaida’ in the province of ‘Galilee’ or ‘Gaulanitis’)
(his brother ‘Andrew’ was also an apostle)
(according to ‘New Testament’ accounts, Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples)
(originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the ‘Transfiguration’)
(according to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah, was part of Jesus’s inner circle, thrice denied Jesus and wept bitterly once he realized his deed, and preached on the day of ‘Pentecost’)
(according to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under ‘Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar’)
(it is traditionally held that he was crucified upside down at his own request, since he saw himself unworthy to be crucified in the same way as ‘Jesus’)
(tradition holds that he was crucified at the site of the ‘Clementine Chapel’)
(his remains are said to be those contained in the underground ‘Confessio’ of ‘Saint Peter’s Basilica’, where ‘Pope Paul VI’ announced in 1968 the excavated discovery of a first-century Roman cemetery)
(every June 29 since 1736, a statue of ‘Saint Peter’ in ‘Saint Peter’s Basilica’ is adorned with papal tiara, ring of the fisherman, and papal vestments, as part of the celebration of the ‘Feast of Saints Peter and Paul’)
(according to ‘catholic doctrine’, the direct papal successor to ‘Saint Peter’ is the incumbent pope, currently ‘Pope Francis’)
(two general epistles in the ‘New Testament’ are ascribed to Peter, but virtually all biblical scholars reject the Petrine authorship of both)
(the ‘Gospel of Mark’ was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter’s preaching and eyewitness memories)
.
(several other books bearing his name – the “acts of peter”, “gospel of peter”, “preaching of peter”, “apocalypse of peter”, and “judgment of peter” – are considered by christian churches as “apocryphal”)
