Mark 1:16-18 (NIV) says "As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 'Come,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed Him." Later, in Mark 3:13-19, Jesus appoints the twelve Apostles. Verse 16 says "These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter)".

Thus, Peter knew Jesus because Jesus bade him follow, which he did, and he later was appointed as an apostle.
