	APOSTLE SIMON (PETER)
		It is said that the apostle Peter was a slender person of a middle size inclining to tallness and that his complexion was pale, almost white.
		Peter was called by the apostle Paul a "pillar" of the church and it was believed by the crowds, that the mere casting of his shadow upon the sick, was capable of bringing about miraculous healing.
		Peter eventually went to Rome and while there, it is believed that Mark (the writer of the Gospel of Mark) served as his translator as he preached.

	Saint Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter was probably the eldest of the twelve disciples, but still a young man during the period of his life depicted in the Gospels.
		Peter is often depicted as spokesman of the twelve disciples, and he and James and John formed the core of an intimate group which is closest to Jesus, present in many moments of special revelations, such as the Transfiguration.
		Peter delivers a speech immediately after the event of Pentecost, which event is considered by most Chistian denominations as the moment when the foundation of the Church by Christ was completed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

	Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the New Testament, Jesus gave the Apostle Peter (whose given name was Simon) the nickname Rock (Kephas or Cephas in Aramaic; Petros or "bedros" (Greek) from which we get "bedrock").
		Saint Peter, according to Catholic tradition, became the first bishop of Rome; Roman Catholics consider him to have been the first Pope and all subsequent Popes to have been his successors, and therefore sometimes refer to the Pope or the Papacy itself as Peter.

	Keith Hunt - Peter - Head Apostle? - Page One
		If Peter was the one given responsibility by Christ to feed the sheep of the church, including other apostles and elders, the one who was to be chief of instruction and the one with the primacy over theology, then someone sure missed the boat with Paul.
		When Peter came to Antioch and behaved himself not according to the truth but against the truth that had been established by the whole church, Paul was swift to CORRECT him, and that before ALL (Gal.2:11-14).
		Peter could have saved the church a whole lot of trouble much earlier if he had used his primacy authority, and taught and ruled for the church what the truth of the matter really was on this circumcision issue.

	Peter the Apostle - Biblical people
		Peter was originally from Bethsaida on the northern shore of the sea of Galilee.
		Peter was one of the three main apostles, along with James and John, who were chosen by Jesus to be present during certain important moments of His ministry.
		The name Peter, in the Greek language, which was spoken by people in the land of Israel during the 1st Century, as was Aramaic and Hebrew, means "rock." So, too, does the name Cephas, which is an Aramaic word for "rock," as used by Jesus in John 1:42.

	The Life and Letters of the Apostle Peter - Apostle Paul, Right Division, Dispensationalism, Paul's Gospel
		Peter lived to have his own words betray him when a lowly servant girl perceived, "this fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth...Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man." Before the evening ended Peter had denied the Lord three times.
		However, the Apostle Paul is clear that we are partakers of Israel’s spiritual things; consequently, we are the beneficiaries of the spiritual blessings of the New Testament by grace, and grace alone.
		Peter, as well as the other apostles, is given the power to act on the Messiah’s behalf regarding matters of the kingdom.

	Saint Peter
		In Acts, Peter is a leader in the Jerusalem church and engages in missionary activity in Samaria, Galilee, Lydda, Sharon, and Joppa.
		Peter's primacy or leadership among the twelve apostles and in the primitive church is now generally accepted by Protestant and Catholic scholars alike.
		Roman Catholics believe that Peter's was a permanent office instituted by Christ and conferred upon the apostle's successors in the see of Rome, and that his primacy in the primitive church has fallen now to the bishops (popes) of Rome.

	The Apostle Peter and Cephas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Needless to say, if the Apostle Peter and the Cephas rebuked by St. Paul were not the same person, the polemical arguments of Protestants and Eastern Orthodox claiming that St. Paul's severe rebuke of St. Peter constituted a denial of Peter's Primacy of authority among the Apostles — fall by the wayside.
		That Peter and the Cephas (of Antioch and Corinth) are two different personages needs to be seriously re-examined and not be testily dismissed as a "cockeyed theory" by a recent contributor to a "traditionalist" publication which only too often takes upon itself the role of a Paul castigating the present successor of Peter.
		The assumption that Peter and Cephas were the same person is dependent upon the Antioch incident occurring after the Council of Jerusalem (with Peter strangely subverting the Council's decree for which he was largely instrumental in obtaining).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles
		The essential fact is that Peter died at Rome: this constitutes the historical foundation of the claim of the Bishops of Rome to the Apostolic Primacy of Peter.
		Peter's residence and death in Rome are established beyond contention as historical facts by a series of distinct testimonies extending from the end of the first to the end of the second centuries, and issuing from several lands.
		The date of Peter's death is thus not yet decided; the period between July, 64 (outbreak of the Neronian persecution), and the beginning of 68 (on 9 July Nero fled from Rome and committed suicide) must be left open for the date of his death.

	Saint Peter
		Among them, the Apostle Peter for his fiery ardor was vouchsafed to occupy the first place (Mt 10:2) and to be as it were the representative person for all the Church.
		And the Apostle Peter, true to his calling, gave his soul for the very flock of Christ, having sealed his apostleship by a martyr's death, now glorified throughout all the world.
		Peter was always listed as the first of the Apostles in all of the New Testament accounts and was a member of the inner circle of Jesus, with James and John.

	St. Peter
		Peter is mentioned so often in the New Testament—in the Gospels, in the Acts of the Apostles, and in the Epistles of St. Paul—that we feel we know him better than any other person who figured prominently in the life of the Saviour.
		There is some evidence for supposing that Peter's brother Andrew and possibly Peter himself were followers of John the Baptist, and were therefore prepared for the appearance of the Messiah in their midst.
		Peter chose to preach in the outlying villages, farther and farther afield.

	Peter the Apostle
		The sole source for the biography of the Apostle Peter during the earthly ministry of Christ is the canonical Gospels.
		Yet even the faith of Peter was not uncommingled with hopes of the earthly power and glory of Christ, and from the first foreshadowing of the sufferings of Christ, made at Csesarea Philippi, until their close the alternate strength and weakness of Peter appear in ever-increasing clearness.
		All this giving rise to the belief that Peter himself came to Rome early in the reign of Claudius, the combination of it with the tradition of his martyrdom toward the close of Nero's reign evidently gave rise to the legend of his twenty-five years' residence in Rome.
