@Gocciedimemoria Simon Pietro detto Pietro (Betsaida, I secolo a.C. – Roma, 29 giugno 64 o 67 d.C.) è stato uno dei dodici apostoli di Gesù; la Chiesa cattolica lo considera il primo papa.Instancabile predicatore, fu il primo a battezzare un pagano, il centurione Cornelio. Entrò in disaccordo con Paolo di Tarso su alcune questioni riguardanti giudei e pagani, risolte comunque durante il primo concilio di Gerusalemme discutendo sulle tradizioni ebraiche come la circoncisione. Secondo la tradizione, divenne primo vescovo di Antiochia di Siria per circa 30 anni, dal 34 al 64 d.C., continuò la sua predicazione fino a Roma dove morì fra il 64 e il 67 d.C., durante le persecuzioni anticristiane ordinate dall'imperatore romano Nerone. A Roma Pietro e Paolo sono venerati insieme, come colonne fondanti della Chiesa; Pietro è considerato santo da tutte le confessioni cristiane, sebbene alcune neghino il primato petrino e altre il primato papale che ne consegue.
Simon Peter known as Peter (Betsaida, 1st century BC – Rome, 29 June 64 or 67 AD) was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus; the Catholic Church considers him the first pope. A tireless preacher, he was the first to baptize a pagan, the centurion Cornelius. He entered into disagreements with Paul of Tarsus on some issues concerning Jews and pagans, which were however resolved during the first council of Jerusalem by discussing Jewish traditions such as circumcision. According to tradition, he became the first bishop of Antioch in Syria for about 30 years, from 34 to 64 AD, he continued his preaching up to Rome where he died between 64 and 67 AD, during the anti-Christian persecutions ordered by the Roman emperor Nero. In Rome Peter and Paul are venerated together, as founding pillars of the Church; Peter is considered a saint by all Christian denominations, although some deny the Petrine primacy and others the papal primacy that follows.
