Jesus had twelve disciples/ apostles who were the original men who traveled and was taught by Jesus. These men had a large part in Jesus' ministry and were to carry on his teachings, which they did. Matthias was also a disciple of Jesus during this time and was counted as one of the original apostles when he was confirmed in the Book of Acts.

Barnabas and James, the Lord's brother were both called apostles.
The disciples of Jesus, Peter and Paul came to Rome and began the ministry, but it was the Christians themselves who were the main ones to spread the religion. The early Christians had the belief that it was their duty to try to convert others and thus gain for themselves a higher place in heaven.
