Peter's Road

He is Simon, son of John, from Bethsaida (John 1:42, John 1:44). His brother Andrew brings him. Jesus calls him Peter, a rock. He fishes on the sea of Galilee (Mark 1:16). Capernaum is where his mother-in-law's house is (Mark 1:29-30). He is in the boat, on the mountain, in the room, in the garden, and in the courtyard where he denies.

After Pentecost he preaches in Jerusalem (Acts 2:14). With John he heals at the temple gate and stands before the council (Acts 3:1, Acts 4:1-22). In Samaria with John after the evangelist Philip (Acts 8:14). Lydda, then Joppa, then Caesarea and Cornelius, then back to Jerusalem to explain why he went in to Gentiles (Acts 9:32 through Acts 11:18).

Arrested in Jerusalem in the days of Unleavened Bread, freed, and gone to a place Luke does not name, with a message for James (Acts 12:1-17). Speaking at the Jerusalem meeting (Acts 15:7). In Antioch, where Paul opposes him (Galatians 2:11-14). Writing, with Mark beside him, from the church he calls Babylon (1 Peter 5:13). Saying that his death is near (2 Peter 1:14).

That is the road the New Testament draws. Rome, and a cross, are what later writers add. They may be right. They are not Acts. The note on his death and his letters is UnrollPeter.
