This renaming signifies Peter's future role as a foundational leader in the early Church (<a href="/matthew/16-18.htm">Matthew 16:18</a>). The act of renaming is significant in biblical tradition, often indicating a change in mission or identity, as seen with Abram to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>) and Jacob to Israel (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm">Genesis 32:28</a>). Peter's leadership is evident in the Book of Acts, where he is a central figure in the spread of the Gospel.and his brother Andrew Andrew, originally a disciple of John the Baptist, was one of the first to follow Jesus (<a href="/john/1-40.htm">John 1:40</a>). He is known for bringing others to Christ, including his brother Peter (<a href="/john/1-41.htm">John 1:41-42</a>). Andrew's role highlights the importance of personal evangelism and the impact of bringing family members to faith. His name, of Greek origin, suggests a Hellenistic influence, reflecting the diverse cultural context of Galilee.James and John James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were fishermen by trade and were called by Jesus while mending their nets (<a href="/mark/1-19.htm">Mark 1:19-20</a>). Known as the "Sons of Thunder" (<a href="/mark/3-17.htm">Mark 3:17</a>), they were part of Jesus' inner circle, witnessing key events such as the Transfiguration (<a href="/mark/9-2.htm">Mark 9:2-3</a>). Their fiery temperament is seen in their request to call down fire from heaven (<a href="/luke/9-54.htm">Luke 9:54</a>). James would become the first apostolic martyr (<a href="/acts/12-2.htm">Acts 12:2</a>), while John is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of John, three epistles, and Revelation.Philip and Bartholomew Philip, from Bethsaida like Peter and Andrew (<a href="/john/1-44.htm">John 1:44</a>), is known for his practical nature, as seen in the feeding of the 5,000 (<a href="/john/6-5.htm">John 6:5-7</a>). He brought Nathanael (Bartholomew) to Jesus, demonstrating the importance of personal testimony (<a href="/john/1-45.htm">John 1:45-46</a>). Bartholomew, often identified with Nathanael, is noted for his initial skepticism about Jesus being from Nazareth, which turns to faith upon meeting Him (<a href="/john/1-47.htm">John 1:47-49</a>). This encounter underscores the theme of recognizing Jesus' divine nature through personal revelation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/simon_peter.htm">Simon Peter</a> Originally named Simon, Jesus gave him the name Peter, meaning "rock" in Greek (Petros).

As believers, we are given a new identity in Christ, which should reflect in our lives. <a href="/topical/f/family_in_ministry.htm">Family in Ministry</a> Andrew and Peter, as well as James and John, show that family members can serve together in ministry. Encouraging family involvement in church activities can strengthen both family bonds and the church community. <a href="/topical/i/immediate_obedience.htm">Immediate Obedience</a> The disciples' immediate response to Jesus' call is a model for us. When God calls us to a task, our response should be prompt and willing. <a href="/topical/d/diversity_in_the_body_of_christ.htm">Diversity in the Body of Christ</a> The apostles came from different backgrounds and had different personalities, yet they were united in their mission. This diversity is a strength in the church today, as it allows for a variety of gifts and perspectives. <a href="/topical/e/evangelism_and_discipleship.htm">Evangelism and Discipleship</a> Andrew's example of bringing his brother to Jesus highlights the importance of personal evangelism.

The Master had already, reading as he did the future, bestowed upon this often erring, but noble and devoted servant. the surname, Cephas, literally, a "mass of rock." And Andrew. One of the first believers, and reckoned among the four whose office placed them in closest relation to their Master, and yet for some - to us - unexplained reason, Andrew did not occupy that position of intimacy shared by Peter, James, and John. He was apparently the intimate friend and associate of Philip, the first of the second "four." James and John. Well-known and honoured names in the records of the first days. Mark adds a vivid detail which throws much light on the character and fortunes of the brothers; he calls them Boanerges, "sons of thunder." The burning enthusiasm of James no doubt led to his receiving the first martyr-crown allotted to "the glorious company of the apostles," while the same fiery zeal in the loved apostle colours the Apocalypse. Philip. <a href="/john/6-5.htm">John 6:5</a> may be quoted to show that the Lord was on terms of peculiar friendship with this first of the second four. Bartholomew; Bar-Tolmai: son of Tolmai, He therefore must have been known also by some other name. In St. John's Gospel Bartholomew is never mentioned, but Nathanael, whose name appears in the Fourth Gospel among the apostles, and who is not alluded to in the memoirs of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, evidently represents the same person. The real name of the son of Tolmai, then, would appear to have been Nathanael. <a href="/commentaries/luke/6-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Simon, Σίμωνα (Simōna) Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_4613.htm">Strong's 4613: </a> Simon.
