Jesus doesn't take His followers for granite.
JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In the full Bible story, Jesus asks His disciples a tough question: "Who am I?"  Simon answers by wholeheartedly declaring that Jesus is the Messiah.  Jesus tells Simon that this perfect answer was a truth revealed to him by God's grace, not by mankind.  Then He renames Simon, saying, "You are Peter (which means "rock"), and upon this rock, I will build My church.  I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.  What you bind and loose on earth shall be bound and loosed in heaven."  Later, in Matthew 18, all the disciples are given the "binding and loosing" power, but the imagery of the keys remains unique to Peter. 2. In this cartoon, Simon-Peter gives his epic answer and Jesus says, "Simon... you rock."  Based on the grammar, this could either mean, "Simon, you are a rock," or, "Simon, you are awesome," (because "you rock" is slang for "you're awesome").  Simon takes it as the latter and is quite elated by Jesus's praise, as anyone ought to be.

I just....love the idea of Peter walking on water being about grief and faith. It's such a beautiful take.
Because when you experience grief you are yelling about how much faith you have, screaming with rage about it because how could this happen when you have been so faithful?
And then you see the darkness and the sadness and the pain, just like how Peter saw the waves and the wind, and you cry out for the Lord because you're scared he's not there
Andd just when you think you're going to drown, He is there and has been all along and you never want to let go.

Matthew 5:3-12a (NIV): Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.

Andrew: Nathaniel won’t come out of the room.
Simon: Just tell him I said something. 
Andrew: Like what? 
Simon: Anything factually inaccurate. 
[A few minutes later] 
Nathaniel with a disturbed expression:  I’m sorry, the sky is blue because it’s reflecting the color of the ocean???

Jesus: Alright, I'm going out and I've left instructions for all of you.
Simon P: But, Rabbi, mine just says "Peter, no."
Jesus: And you can apply that to any situation.

The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter celebrates the papacy and St. Peter as the first bishop of Rome.
St. Peter's original name was Simon. He was married with children. He was living and working in Capernaum as a fisherman when Jesus called him to be one of the Twelve Apostles.
Jesus bestowed to Peter a special place among the Apostles. He was one of the three who were with Christ on special occasions, such as the Transfiguration of Christ and the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
He was the only Apostle to whom Christ appeared on the first day after the Resurrection.
Peter, in turn, often spoke on behalf of the Apostles.
When Jesus asked the Apostles: "Whom do men say that the Son of Man is?"
Simon replied: "Thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
And Jesus said:
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood have not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
And I say to you: That you are Peter [Cephas, a rock], and upon this rock [Cephas] I will build my Church [ekklesian], and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven." (Mt 16:13-20)
In saying this, Jesus made St. Peter the head of the entire community of believers and placed the spiritual guidance of the faithful in St. Peter’s hands.
However, St. Peter was not without faults. He was rash and reproached often by Christ. He had fallen asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane instead of praying, as Jesus had asked him to do. He also denied knowing Jesus three times after Christ’s arrest.
Peter delivered the first public sermon after the Pentecost and won a large number of converts.
He also performed many miracles and defended the freedom of the Apostles to preach the Gospels. He preached in Jerusalem, Judaea, and as far north as Syria.
He was arrested in Jerusalem under Herod Agrippa I but miraculously escaped execution.
He left Jerusalem and eventually went to Rome, where he preached during the last portion of his life.
He was crucified there, head downwards, as he had desired to suffer, saying that he did not deserve to die as Christ had died.
The date of St. Peter's death is not clear. Historians estimate he was executed between the years 64 and 68.
His remains now rest beneath the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

The wind was cold, but Peter laughed and at Judas’ glance he opened his hand, revealing a small round pebble. (Judas blinked, and Peter was that young man once more, the callow country fisherman with the rough hands and a laugh like the sun.)

Twelve Apostles Courtcase Spell (2) Hung Jury
[Jesus Christ’s twelve apostles are popular figures in Courtcase magic, metaphoric similarity to a twelve-person jury. The list of Aspotles’ names varies depending upon which Gospel is chosen for information. This list derives from Atthew 10:2-4, however use whichever version suits you best: Simon Peter; Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee; John, his brother; Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; Simon the Canaanite; and Judas Iscariot.]
The spell suggested in The Book of Pow-Wows is devout and sincere, suggesting that you bring the Apostles with you to court as allies and support (you literally walk on their strength)---a sort of stronger jury. Other versions of the spell consider the metaphor with historical detachment: if the Apostles are perceived as a jury of twelve, then ultimately a split decision was rendered, with Judas Iscariot insisting upon an independent course of action.
Use the Twelve Apostles to help produce a divides jury, a jury unable to reach consensus. Perform this spell when called upon to be present in the courtroom.
On a small piece of paper, write the names of eleven apostles, omitting Judas Iscariot, in two columns, one of five columns and the other of six.
Fold this paper up and place it in your right shoe.
Write Judas’ name on his own piece of paper. Wear this one inside your left shoe.
