One of the twelve
Simon Peter
The son of John
Brother of Andrew
From the village of Bethsaida
On the Sea of Galilee
Originally a fisherman
Turned to a fisher of men
By Jesus of Galilee
Denied Christ three times
After the crucifixion
Witness of the ascension
Who spread the Gospels
Far and wide
And founded the Christian church
Becoming the first bishop
And the first Pope
Before his own crucifixion
In godless Rome
Under Emperor
Nero Augustus Caesar.
Main feast 29th June
