ONE OF THE TWELVE - SIMON PETER

 

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
