Peter and Paul were just about polar opposites. Peter, rough and ready, Paul, poetic and polished. Peter carried a burden of regret for his denials, Paul had his own issues with which he struggled. Peter leapt over barriers to go to the Gentiles. Paul strove with and surrendered to the same call. True, they spent very little time together in this life, but the same Spirit filled their hearts; and by their wit- ness, changed the face of the earth.
