To: Hebrews 11:6

Why is Peter almost always depicted as an old man?

We know he was married, but that just means he was over about 30. Some believe the other apostles were late teens or early twenties, so Peter would have been older than they were, but not as old as the artists seem to paint..........

We’ve discussed this previously. Personally, I think Peter was as much older than the other apostles as Arthur Fonzarelli was older than Richard Cunningham.
