Decided to follow the Lord after hearing John the Baptist:
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Lived in Bethsaida:
John 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
The Lord sees Peter and Andrew who were fishing:
Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mark 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Sees the miracle of catching fish:
Luke 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
At the feeding of the five thousand.
John 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
Tells the Lord only He has the promise of eternal life:
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Follows after the Lord after Peter’s Mother-in-law is healed:
Mark 1:36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
Name changed, Simon to Peter
Mark 3:16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
Named as one of the 12 apostles:
Matthew 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Luke 6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Called to walk on water:
Matthew 14:28-29 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Who touched the Lord:
Luke 8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
One of 3 who could follow:
Mark 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Luke 8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
