In Mark 8:31, Jesus harshly rebukes Peter and calls him “satan,” for attempting to change His mind about His passion and crucifixion. In the night of the Last Supper, Jesus told His Apostles that He would be betrayed and that none of them would stand by Him in His last hour. Peter told Jesus he would stand by Him and defend Him.

On the first Sunday after New Sunday, that is, the second Sunday after the Resurrection, the Holy Church ascribes the Gospel of John 21:1-14. This passage records one of the several post-resurrection appearances of Christ to his disciples and followers. Jesus Christ appears to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias showing Himself to Peter, Thomas, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.
