Simon Peter had paid Jesus’ temple tax (Matthew 17:27) and stood nearby when Jesus raised a little girl from the dead (Luke 8:51). In fact, Peter’s name …

“Calm down, Pamela. Take a deep breath. I can’t understand what you are trying to say,” I directed. Her sobbing on the other end of the phone call indicated that she was in deep trouble, but as of yet, I couldn’t distinguish the cause.
