Which apostle acted as the leader of twelve?
No apostle came out and stated he was the leader. In Acts chapters 2-4 we see that Peter often took the lead when talking to government officials or Jewish religious leaders of the time. Peter also led the way for preaching to Gentiles (non-Jews) with his conversion of Cornelius in Acts chapter 10. Later on, Paul, who wasn't one of the twelve, also took on an overseer type role for the Christian congregation.
Who were Jesus's decipols?
The original twelve disciples/apostles are listed in Matthew 10:2-4, "These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him." The Bible also lists the twelve disciples/apostles in Mark 3:16-19 and Luke 6:13-16. A comparison of the three passages shows a couple of minor differences in the names. It seems that Thaddaeus was also known as "Judas, son of James" (Luke 6:16) and Lebbaeus (Matthew 10:3). Simon the Zealot was also known as Simon the Canaanite (Mark 3:18). Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, was replaced in the twelve apostles by Matthias (see Acts 1:20-26). Some Bible teachers view Matthias as an "invalid" apostle and believe that Paul was God's choice to replace Judas Iscariot as the twelfth apostle.
