Peter
- Chief among the Twelve Apostles of Jesus , he was a fisherman, originally named Simon (and often called Simon Peter). Jesus gave him the name Rock, of which 鈥淧eter鈥 is a translation. Peter showed great faith but also exhibited great failings ( see Get thee behind me, Satan ). In the frightening hours before the Crucifixion , Peter three times denied being a follower of Jesus, just as Jesus had predicted he would. Nevertheless, Peter went on to become the leader of the early Christians (see also Christian ) ( see Pentecost ), thus fulfilling another prophecy of Jesus , who had said of Peter, 鈥淯pon this rock I will build my church 鈥. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven .鈥
