In the gospel accounts, especially the earliest gospel, the Gospel of Mark, it is difficult to find any strengths of Simon Peter. He is portrayed as impetuous and constantly unable to understand, and his faith is inadequate. Despite his strongest assertion that even if he had to die with Jesus he would never deny him, Peter deserted Jesus and later denied Jesus three times. Nevertheless, Matthew's Gospel has Peter finally emerge as the pre-eminent leader of the twelve, cast as the disciple Jesus selected to carry on his work.
In Acts of the Apostles, Peter is represented quite differently. Here he is portrayed as a great leader, orator, miracle worker and intermediary to God, in many ways an equal to Jesus.
