Paul, in his Epistle to the Galatians, said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia and only then went to Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), which means that he was not blind or other wise disabled and helpless, as in Acts. He said that he received the gospel from no man but by revelation, whereas Acts has Paul taken blind and helpless to Damascus, where he was taught the gospel. Whereas Paul spoke of Barnabas as his loyal assistant, Acts makes Barnabas his mentor and instructor. Gradually, Paul's stature is diminished.
Paul never mentioned performing miracles, but decades later we find Acts attributing miracles to him, although Peter always performed a another, somewhat similar but greater miracle and did greater service for the Church.
So Peter and Paul were important in Acts of the Apostles because the book is really about them, or at least about Paul.
Peter and Paul are important figures in Acts of the Apostles because they were key leaders in the early Christian church. Peter was one of the original twelve disciples chosen by Jesus, while Paul was a prominent missionary who played a significant role in spreading Christianity to the Gentiles. Their actions and teachings are central to the narrative of Acts and helped shape the growth and development of the early Christian community.
Although Paul was a great writer, Peter held the keys to the kingdom.
Each played their part, however neither was more important than anyone else.
"I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel-not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power."
Paul was important because he spread Christianity among the gentiles. His innovation of allowing gentiles to become Christians without the pain of circumcision was probably crucial. A further reason was probably the collection he took up for the poor of Jerusalem, thus earning their utmost gratitude.
Peter is certainly important, because Paul could see that in the 40s or 50s of the first century, he was one of the pillars of the Jerusalem church and apparently the second most important Christian in Jerusalem. Three of the gospels credit him with being the first disciple called by Jesus, and there is more or less agreement in the gospels that he was the most important disciple.
They were both disciples of Jesus Christ.
Peter: - On the day of Pentecost he preached the first gospel sermon. Peter wrote two letters in the New Testament, ( 1Peter and 2Peter ) the second was written as he approached the end of his life. The tradition is that he died a martyr at Rome about 67 AD, when about 75 years old.
Paul - Made three missionary trips around Asia minor and wrote 13 letters of the New Testament.
The tradition is that Paul, as a Roman citizen, was beheaded on the Ostian Road just outside of Rome.
You all have dumb answers. The real answer is Who were peter and paul and what was their major accomplishments?
They established the new Christian church in Rome
Paul was the first great Christian missionary and theologian, and the letters he wrote to the fledgling Christian churches form a large portion of the New Testament.
they were disciples of jesus

Luke presented the message of Christ primarily through the sermons of the apostles Peter and Paul. In the book of Acts, Luke documented their teachings and the spread of Christianity following Christ's ascension.
the New Testament, the final portion of the Christian Bible
Luke recorded sermons from Apostles Paul, Peter, and James in the Bible.
Yes, Saint Paul did meet some of the twelve disciples, including Peter and James. After his conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul went to Jerusalem to meet with Peter and James to discuss his teachings and receive their approval.
Yes, he was.
It stands for the acts of the apostles. Acts is the book that describes the narrative of the early Apostles lives, focusing especially on the two most prominent of those Apostles which were Peter and Paul.
Oh yes both Peter and Paul are important today.But please note Paul was not a apostle.
All of the apostles, as a group (Acts 5), Peter(Acts 12), Paul and Silas (Acts 16), Paul (Acts 22), Aristarchus (Colossians 4).
AnswerNo. The Acts of the Apostles is essentially a record of the supposed acts of Peter and Paul, perhaps even a subtle comparison of the two apostles. Apart from Stephen, who is not mentioned anywhere outside Acts, there is no real mention of the other apostles.
The Book of Acts is generally classified as a biblical genre known as Acts of the Apostles. It is a historical narrative that details the early spread of Christianity and the ministry of the apostles, particularly focusing on the actions of Peter and Paul.
Arguably the whole of the Acts of the Apostles is about the apostle Paul, but the second part is certainly about Paul.
St Paul for sure did not write the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts of the Apostles, James, Peter 1, Peter 2, Revelation, and others.
A:Of the twelve original disciples, Peter is most frequently mentioned in Acts of the Apostles. In fact, Acts is really a comparison between Peter and Paul, such that Peter always comes across as the more worthy apostle. The book describes a number of very similar miracles performed by both Peter and Paul, but in each case Peter's miracle was even more awe-inspiring and worthy than the miracle performed by Paul. There are also other comparisons made in Acts between Peter and Paul, all leading to the conclusion that the author wanted Peter to be remembered as the more worthy apostle.
Peter in Acts 9: 36-43 raised Dorcas. Paul in Acts 20:7-12 raised the young man Eutychus.
Luke presented the message of Christ primarily through the sermons of the apostles Peter and Paul. In the book of Acts, Luke documented their teachings and the spread of Christianity following Christ's ascension.
It was Paul that encourage the Apostles to moved on . This is recorded in the book of ACTS
A:Acts of the Apostles is generally regarded as a history of the early Church, although it is really only about the apostles Peter and Paul, with other people and events added as far as required by the narrative. This is the first of the Acts genre and is described as a hagiography.
