Simon PeterSimon was a common name, the Greek version of the Hebrew name Simeon (see Acts 15:14). Simon was born in Bethsaida (see John 1:44), near the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. His family were Jewish fishermen, like many of their neighbors, although many Samaritans and Greek-speaking Gentiles also lived in Galilee. Simon probably received “the normal elementary education of a Jewish boy in a small town”1 — that is, he learned to read a little Hebrew and enough Greek to do business, and he spoke Aramaic and common Greek fluently. He was not trained in the Jewish Scriptures and law as a rabbi, nor in literary Greek (see Acts 4:13). Before meeting Jesus, Simon may have followed John the Baptist (see John 1:35-42).
