- Lesson's from Peter's Life and Story in The Bible
The first half of Peter’s story is told in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. If you want to see Peter in action afterward, take half an hour to read Acts 1-12. Or take three minutes to read one of those exciting chapters. You’ll see that the impulsive Peter in the four gospels becomes the Holy Spirit-emboldened apostle of Acts 1-12and, later, 1 and 2 ...
We know his father is Jonah (John), who had named his first son Simon and his second Andrew. We know Simon is married and his mother-in-law sometimes lives with them. That said, Simon’s life story really doesn’t start in earnest until he meets Jesus, who renames him Cephas, which translated is Peter (John 1:42). The New Testament uses Peter 178 tim...
Peter first shows up in Matthew 4:18-20, when Jesus calls him to be one of His first disciples. Jesus visits Peter’s home and heals his mother-in-law in Matthew 8:14-15. Peter officially becomes one of the 12 apostles in Matthew 10:1-2. Peter finally starts talking in Matthew 14:28-30, only to yell when he begins drowning. A page later, Peter asks ...
Mark’s gospel is the shortest. Still, he mentions Peter’s name as the leader of the early disciples in Mark 1:36, of the inner circle of three disciples in Mark 5:37, of the inner circle of four disciples in Mark 13:3, and of the 12 apostles in Mark 14:37 and Mark 16:7. In addition, Mark quotes a couple of Peter’s one-liners to Jesus in Mark 10:28 ...
Luke’s gospel is the longest. He alone records the dramatic story of Jesus providing a miraculous catch of fish after Peter had caught nothing all night (Luke 5:1-11). This is the catalyst for Peter’s conversion and decision to leave all to follow Jesus Christ. Luke quotes a few of Peter’s one-liners to Jesus in Luke 8:45, Luke 12:41, and Luke 18:2...
Andrew introduces his brother, Peter, to Jesus, in John 1:40-42. After Jesus’ “hardest” sermon, many leave. Jesus turns to the 12 to ask if they want to leave as well. Peter replies, ““Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God” (John 6:68-69). When Jesus washe...
You can read complementary accounts of Peter’s three denials in Matthew 26:20-75, Mark 14:66-72, Luke 22:54-62, and John 18:15-27. As Peter discovered, we can rest assured that — no matter how often we let Him down — the Lord won’t give up on us.
From the time we were kids, we’ve been told: Three strikes and you’re out. In life, we get only so many opportunities to blow it. In many competitive situations, it is no wonder our first reaction is to tense up. It seems as if everyone struggles with the fear of failure, at least occasionally. Every time we hear about another friend or colleague l...
Peter’s miracles in Acts 9 showcase the power of the Holy Spirit at work within the early church. Though the people who witnessed and heard of these healings and resurrections were amazed and intrigued, Peter did not perform them to wow the crowd or to even illustrate his own strength.
The story of Peter in the Bible is fascinating. His failings are not minimized, but still Peter shines as a man of faith and an example of zeal for God. The apostle Peter, in many ways, was a lot like you and me. He was a small businessman, he had a wife, and he had partners in business.
