The designation 'pope' did not come for many years later. However, Catholics consider this to be the point at which Peter was appointed to fill the leadership position. In Matthew, Chapter 16, starting with verse 17:
And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."…

the first two were Andrew and Simon Peter
There is no person of that name in the Bible according to my concordance.

The first disciple was Simon Peter. No, Was Andrew =)
According to the Christian scriptures, he was a fisherman, until Jesus called him to follow. He then became an apostle/disciple of Jesus and started to spread the Gospel. He was known to deny that he knew Jesus when the authorities wanted to stop Jesus and the new teachings. He later on became a martyr. The Catholics believe he was the first Pope. He is known more familiarly as "Saint Peter".
