about the fisherman named Simon.

Simon owned a fishing business with his brother Andrew and two friends named James and John. All four of them became followers and helpers of Jesus. After Simon became one of Jesus' helpers, Jesus changed his name to Peter which meant "rock", because he was the first of the 12 to say that he believed Jesus was the son of God.

Simon Peter became the leader and spokesperson of the 12 special helpers.
