St. Peter the Apostle

Peter was a fisherman who met the Lord Jesus and heard His wonderful teachings. After that, he went everywhere with Jesus and helped the Lord teach people. But sometimes Peter was afraid. There came a time when some people did not like what Jesus was teaching. They were angry. They wanted Him to stop. Peter loved Jesus very much, but when he saw the angry people he was afraid. He did not help Jesus. He would not even say that he was Jesus’ friend! Peter asked God for strength and courage. God helped him, and he got over his fear. He was able to talk about Jesus to large crowds of people. The crowds listened to him. Because of Peter's words, many of those crowds became Christians. They followed the teachings of the Lord Jesus.
