    1. Peter was a native of Bethsaida, the desendant of John, was called to become a disciple of Jesus
    2. He denied Christ three times after the Lord died. Once when a servent girl asked him. Again to the same girl he denied being a follower of jesus. Then once more to a crowd of people.
    3. After Jesus was raised he became the head of Jesus' followers.
    4. He was imprisoned by King Herod but then escaped with the help of an angel.
    5. He died when he was 64.
  2. What virtues he models
    1. Humble: he asked the lord no to wash his feet at the Last Supper.
