“The brother of the first-called Apostle Andrew, the holy Apostle Peter, who before being called by the Lord Jesus Christ was called Simon, son of Jonah, a Jew of the tribe of Simeon, was a native of Bethsaida, an insignificant and little-known town of Galilee in Palestine. He took to wife the daughter of Aristobulus, the brother of the holy Apostle Barnabas, and begat children of her: a son and a daughter. Simon was a simple and unlettered man.”
