Peter
A fisherman who became a leading apostle—bold yet impulsive—who denied Jesus, was restored, and helped lead the early church.
Simon Peter was among the first disciples and often their spokesman, confessing Jesus as the Christ. On the night of the arrest he denied Jesus three times, then wept bitterly.
The risen Jesus restored him by the lakeshore, and at Pentecost Peter preached the sermon that birthed the church. Two New Testament letters bear his name.
