Peter got out of the boat when Jesus said "Come" and he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

The narrative is found in Matthew 14:28.

Walking on water is certainly impossible for humans so this was a miracle.

The problem was that Peter took his eyes off Jesus and instead looked at the boisterous wind and and became frightened and started to sink, but Jesus instantly caught him and saved him. Jesus said to Peter, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

The intent of the story is that when the "storms" of life come we need to keep our eyes and faith alone on Jesus and not on the problem.

What change took place in the life of Peter with the coming of Jesus in his life?

The coming of Jesus into Peter's life changed the focus of Peter's fishing from fish to men. 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he [Jesus] saw Simon [Peter] and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. (Mark 1:16, 17)


Were all of Jesus' disciples from Galilee?

No.Eleven of the twelve "Apostles" were from Galilee. Judas was apparently from Judea. 'Disciples', however, came (and COME) from every nation.(Acts 1:8)For starters, on Pentecost, after Jesus died, Peter and the apostles, spoke to people from many nationalities and locations, and 3,000 of them accepted Jesus Christ and were baptized as his disciples. (Acts 2:40-41)


Where was the Apostle Peter born?

Peter was probably born in Bethsaida, a city in the region of Galilee, and later moved to Capernaum, which is also a city on the coast of the Sea of Galilee. The verse that supports Bethsaida as being Peter's hometown is found in John 1:44 "Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter." The "city of Peter" could mean the city that he lives in, but most likely refers to the city of his birth, similar to other statements made in the Bible. For the majority of his life, the Apostle Peter lived in or near Capernaum, or possibly Bethsaida, which are both cities within the region of Galilee, located right on the coast of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus often travelled to different cities during His earthly ministry, and we will use one such journey recorded in Scripture as evidence that either Capernaum or Bethsaida was Peter's hometown. In Mark 1:14, Jesus travels to Galilee. In Mark 1:16, while in Galilee, Jesus calls Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, who were fishing in the Sea of Galilee, to be His apostles. According to verse 16, they were fisherman by trade, which explains why they lived in a coastal town. In verse 21 of chapter 1, Jesus and his new Apostles enter into the city of Capernaum, specifically into the synagogue located within Capernaum. After Jesus performs a miracle inside the synagogue, we come to verse 29: "And forthwith (or right away), when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon (Peter) and Andrew, with James and John." And so we see that Peter's house must have been in or very near the city of Capernaum. This account of Jesus going to Peter's house is also recorded in Matthew chapter 8, and Luke 4:31-39. Other Scriptures that confirm that Peter was a Galilean can be found in Matthew 26:73, Mark 14:70 (see below), Luke 22:59, and Acts 1:10-11. Mark 14:70 "And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto."


Where did the disciples fish?

Assuming your talking about the "fishers of men" story in Matthew 4:18-19 it says "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men" So the answer to your question would be the Sea of Galilee.

How did peter know jJsus?

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.
