Simon Peter

HOMETOWN

I live in Capernaum, Galilee

FAMILY

I’m married, and live with my wife and mother in law. My brother is Andrew and we work together.

OCCUPATION

I am a fisherman in a successful Capernaum fishing business with my brother Andrew and the Zebedee brothers, James and John. Once Jesus

began his ministry, we all took a break from fishing and became his disciples.

WHERE AND WHEN I MET JESUS

On the shore of the sea of Galilee. We were fishing, and Jesus called out for us to follow him and fish for people instead! And so, I became a devoted

follower and friend of Jesus.

DID YOU KNOW?

My name was Simon, then Jesus nicknamed me Peter, which means “the rock”.
