 Peter, along with his brother, Andrew, were fishermen by trade from the city of Bethsaida (John 1:44). A few references in Scripture indicate he was married, though little is known about his family (Luke 4:38; I Cor. 9:5). His birth name was Simon, but when he first met Jesus, the Lord gave him the name Cephas (“Cephas” is Aramaic, translated “Peter” in Greek, both meaning “a rock”). (John 1:35-42)
