Pedro, the traitor of Jesus ChristThis man, if he could be called a manKilled 12 followers of ChristLike a crazed Wolfman
Pedro firstly meet with Christ in a forestChrist asked him if he had mercy of other peoplePedro answered: Yes.Christ presented him 12 followers of himPedro was excited. He never had any followersJesus said: they were my followers, now they will be yoursApollos, Evodius, Archippus, Sosthenes, Barnabas, Onesiphorus, Andrew, Moses, Judas, Philip, Simon and Nathanael.Began to follow PedroPedro reportedly yelled to Christ "Oh father, thanks"Jesus then seen Pedro as a reliable friendHe would everyday visit him at barsAnd once helped Jesus to transform water into wineBut one dayThing slipped
On March 30 Pedro called Jesus, to talk with himAfter a little conversation, Jesus began to suspect of PedroAnd terminated the conversation with "You aren't the prophet; i want my sons back"Pedro got infuriated.
On April 3, Pedro called his followers to a forestHaving called the followers, Pedro said that a miracle would happenHe said to them to look at the sky, because the sun would do a such thingBut while they were looking at the sky, he got a daggerAnd fastly stabbed 12 of his followers, all of whom died.
He then called Jesus, yelling "Now came here father to see the disaster i made"Jesus was terrified by the murders: "How could you?"But he did not panicked; he put his hands into Pedro's headSaying "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do"After saying the phrase seven times, he said Pedro "Go ahead."Pedro did go out and was not heard anymore.
Jesus said to his followers that he had an follower named Pedro,Who was a traitor to himHis followers were shocked to hear the story.Pedro is still remembered, to this day, as a mass murderer, and traitorHis whereabouts are unknown.
