Two apostles, out of the twelve who followed Jesus Christ, were named Peter (who was also known by Symeon, Simon, Cephus, and Simon Peter) and John. Peter was a fisherman along with his brother, John. Both of them left their secular fishing business to follow Jesus, at His request. In The Bible, the book of Matthew chapter 4 verses 18-22 tells of this account, "walking alongside the sea of Galilee he [Jesus] saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, letting down a fishing net into the sea, for they were fishers. And he said to them: 'Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.' At once abandoning the nets, they followed him. Going on also from there he saw two others who were brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with their nets, and he called them. At once leaving the boat and their father, they followed him." This scripture explains how these few apostles were found, and called by Jesus Christ. As his apostles, they ultimately became fishers of men as stated in Luke 5:10, 11, "and likewise both James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were sharing with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon: 'Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching men alive.' So they brought the boats back to land and abandoned everything and followed him."

Where is the Gospel of Jesus we have many gospels but no gospel of Jesus Why?
Jesus was Himself the Gospel and 'the' preacher of the Gospel. He wrote no work or literature but lived what He taught. Others wrote about it later, particularly as they knew the Apostles would eventually die, and also to provide an authoritative record of truth against various heresies which were springing up. The works of the Gospel writers, two of whom were themselves Apostles and two not, were themselves 'Gospels of Jesus' in that they faithfully taught what Jesus said and did. There also were others present who could verify the truth of what was said and eager opponents who could disprove it if wrong.

How was Saint John called by Jesus to be an apostle?

Jesus turned and asked the two men "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (teacher), "Where are you staying?" So they went and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day.

Judas the apostle?
No, Jesus was considered a teacher, a rabbi, and to Christians, the messiah and the son of God. He did have devoted followers, however, and the first twelve of them were called the apostles. The word comes from Latin and Greek sources, and means "a person who is sent out." The apostles were sent out to spread the message about Jesus.
Why is the book of Acts called The Acts of the Apostles?
There are two schools of thought on this. The first is that an "Apostle" is somebody that personally saw Jesus after the resurrection, and was then a witness to that fact. This school of thought claims that there are no more apostles, other than the 12 + Paul. Because you are asking this question, I assume you are from the first school of the thought.The second school of thought is that an apostle is what the word literally means, one sent forth with a message. In this case, they were sent forth with the gospel message. That is why in Matthew 10:1-7, in verse 1, Jesus called his 12 disciples(followers) to himself, and then sent them away as his 12 apostles (sent messengers) in verse 2. Barnabus was a sent messenger (Apostle) to spread the gospel along with Paul.There is a lot more to say on this subject, please let me know if you need more elaboration.
