Paul, formerly the devout Jew known as Saul, was the apostle of the gentiles. This was because Paul took the message of the gospel to the Gentiles, instead of only preaching to the Jewish people.

∙ 13y agoPeter was the first apostle. There were disciples before him -- namely John the Baptist and his followers -- , but Peter was the first follower granted apostleship by Christ. The apostles were appointed after all by God. Jesus had already met willing disciples in at least John the Baptist and some of his followers, and Andrew, Peter's brother, had already followed their lead. But it wasn't until the following passage that an apostle was made:
Joh 1:42 reads: And he (Andrew) brought him (Peter) to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Peter (Gk., Aramaic Cephas meaning Rock)."
Thus by naming Peter (Gr. Rock) did Christ bestow his First Apostleship.
