OK some people said, Jesus wasn't hiding but it was planed to be. Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins so he let them crucified him. Jesus died so our sins can be forgiving (which in fact ur sins still not forgiving unless u keep repenting).
Then who killed Peter? and for what reason he died for?

Peter was told quite explicitly by Jesus how he was going to die.
"Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go." Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, he told him, "Keep following me." (John 21:18-19)
Peter was crucified for the same reason Jesus was. He spoke the truth about the Kingdom of God, and it ticked people off then, just like it does today.

There is an error in your statement:
"(which in fact ur sins still not forgiving unless u keep repenting)."
Your sins are forgiven - past, present and future!
They were ALL in the future when Christ died for you. When you accepted Christ as your Saviour, you repented for your sins. Your heart grieved because of them and you turned to a new and different way of living your life. You allowed God to be Lord of your life, to let His Spirit teach and guide you to do His will, to live your life His way. Why put Christ on the cross for every slip, or even deliberate sin you commit since then? You can be sorry for them, and ask God to forgive you. Just don't let it keep you down, thinking you are unworthy. God has already forgave them by His mercy and grace, once, for all. Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Read Romans 8 again. What a wondeful chapter of God's covenant and love for us. Do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. If we live by the Spirit, we will not sin. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. It was for freedom that Christ has set us free, and those He has set free, are free indeed.
John 8:31-36 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. "The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Peter was not crucified for his sins, but for preaching this good news which I've just told you. Through Christ, we are justified and restored into a relationship with the living God, adopted as His children, blessed beyond measure and destined to inherit the kingdom. All this is only by His mercy and grace, and not by anything we do or do not do. It is a gift of God.

Peter was a martyr (died for his faith) Peter was crucified UPSIDE DOWN for spreading the Gospel to the gentiles. All of the apostles (except John) died as martyrs. Some got stoned to death,others pushed of cliff, one was tied and dragged by horses to death>

Peter was killed by the enemies of the early Church. He died for what he believed in. Only Christ was able to atone for our sins (Christ mean anointed one - just one that's it, no more). This was possible because He was perfect but also special abilities He inherited from His mother and father. From His mother, the ability to die, from His father, the ability to choose not to die. Only Jesus could 100% choose to give his life.

Sin is a word defined differently my many religions and not used by some also.
Jesus/Christ came as was planned by the Uncreated Creator [God] and never hid for He know his purpose before coming into this sphere of existence.
Peter was martyred by the Romans for his unwillingness to deny the divinity of the Christ.

Peter's death is not recorded in the bible. However, as with most of the Lord's disciples, he was most likely killed for his testimony about Jesus.
