Beschreibung

The fisherman Simon lived with his wife in Capernaum. The legend of Petronilla knows that he had children. Together with his brother Andrew, who had previously been a disciple of John the Baptist, he was called by Jesus to his disciple group (Gospel of Mark 1:16-18). Healing Peter’s mother-in-law from fever was one of Jesus’ first miracles (Matthew 8:14-15). During the change on the Sea of Galilee, Peter’s faith proved to be hesitant: he wanted to follow Jesus walking on the water, but became afraid to sink, after his salvation he confessed with a kneeling: You are in fact God’s Son (Matthew 14:28-32).
