This was the apostle John.
Peter was a disciple and apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.Two of his epistles are included in scripture.
Simon Peter followed Jesus because Jesus called him to be his disciple, and Peter was drawn to Jesus' teachings and presence. Peter recognized Jesus as the Messiah and experienced firsthand the power and love of Jesus in his life. He was also inspired to follow Jesus by witnessing the miracles and witnessing Jesus' compassion for others.
When Jesus told Peter "What is that to you? You must follow me," in response to Peter's question about the fate of another disciple, he was referring to the disciple John. Jesus was emphasizing the importance of focusing on one's own journey and relationship with him rather than comparing or worrying about others.

The first disciple was Simon Peter. No, Was Andrew =)
The disciple who told Peter about Jesus was Andrew, who was one of the first followers of Jesus. Andrew was initially a disciple of John the Baptist but then introduced his brother, Peter, to Jesus, saying, "We have found the Messiah" (John 1:41).
