Peter is a very faithful man. In the Gospel Luke 24:10-12 it said that Jesus had risen from the tomb. All of the other Apostles did not believe that Jesus had risen, but when Peter heard of this he ran to the tomb as fast as he could. He believed that Jesus rose and he went to make sure. Also in Luke 22:31-32 Jesus tells Peter that he has to disobey Him. Although Peter would hate to betray Jesus he listens and does what he has to. This shows that Peter is a very loyal follower and also a very faithful one too. All of the things Peter does helps lead up to him becoming a Pope.
