SYMEON PETER<br />

• <strong>Peter</strong> was one of three closest to Jesus who were <strong>Peter</strong>, James<br />

and John. This was the special group. <strong>Peter</strong> was one of the three<br />

Apostles (with James and John) who were with Christ on certain<br />

special occasions. Apostle Paul says: " James, Cephas, and<br />

John, who seemed to be pillars, ....." (Gal. 2:9).<br />

• These three were with Jesus on very special occasions:<br />

o the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Mark<br />

5:37; Luke 8:51); The gospel of Mark says about that:<br />

"And He permitted no one to follow Him except <strong>Peter</strong>,<br />

James, and John the brother of James" (Mark 5:37).<br />

o the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:1;<br />

Luke 9:28),<br />
