HEY RAY! In reference to your post. It is not strange to me that people do not believe in God or Jesus. What is strange to me is some of them have to be angry at those who do. Peter by Wayne Blank Originally named Simon, Cephas (see-fuss) is more popularly known to Christians as Peter. He was from Bethsaida, on the west coast of the Sea of Galilee, in the Galilee Region of northern Israel. Peter and his brother Andrew were fishermen, along with James and John, the sons of Zebedee and Salome (Salome was one of the women who discovered the empty Tomb in the morning after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - Mark 16:1). Peter, Andrew, James, and John all became members of The Twelve Apostles. Sea Of Galilee It was Peters brother Andrew who first found The Lord after hearing John The Baptist near the Jordan River proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lamb of God (John 1:29-36). Andrew then went and brought Simon to Jesus (John 1:41). It was Jesus Who declared that Simon would be called Cephas, an Aramaic name equivalent to the Greek Petros, from which Peter is derived. Simon gradually became known as Peter among the other people, although The Lord continued to call him Simon when talking to him
