Meaning
“Rock”
Pedro (originalmente chamado SimĂŁo) foi um dos doze apĂłstolos de Jesus e parte de Seu cĂrculo Ăntimo. Do grego Petros, que significa "rocha" ou "pedra" - Jesus deu a SimĂŁo esse nome, dizendo "Tu Ă©s Pedro (Petros), e sobre esta rocha (petra) edificarei a minha igreja." Pescador de profissĂŁo, Pedro era impulsivo, apaixonado e audacioso. Ele andou sobre as águas, presenciou a Transfiguração e confessou Jesus como o Cristo. Embora tenha negado Jesus trĂŞs vezes, Pedro foi restaurado e se tornou um pilar da igreja primitiva. Ele pregou no Pentecostes, realizou milagres e escreveu duas epĂstolas do Novo Testamento.
