Peter did not kill himself after he denied knowing Jesus, he "went outside and wept bitterly" (Luke 22:62). John 21:18-19 indicates that Peter died as a martyr. The only one of the apostles who killed himself was Judas Iscariot, who hanged himself after he betrayed Jesus (Matthew 27:5).

What did Peter the disciple of Jesus do to betray Jesus?

Judas Iscariot betrayed jesus for 30 pieces of silver (about a month's wages for a non-skilled worker). He basically told the ruling council of the Temple, and the priests, where he could be found so he could be arrested in secret. This was to prevent his many supporters from rioting as many regarded him as the promised messiah. Note there were 2 Judases in the diciples (the other being Judas, son of Alpheus) and so it was Judas Iscariot who was the betayer. Peter didn't betray Jesus but he did deny ever knowing him (3 times) at his trial, to save his own skin. However, after the resurrection, Jesus forgave him and reinstated him as leader of the disciples. Peter was his supporter. ANOTHER ANSWER: Directly; Judas. Indirectly; Peter and all of Jesus' disciples abandoned and betrayed Him when they "denied" knowing Him; fearing the Jews more than their Master. Peter denied Him, directly, three times... the other disciples, running away, denied Him through their cowardly, unconverted, carnal minded, totally human reaction to the terrifying circumstances.
