Andrew the Apostle Greek:??????? Andreas, also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus according to the New Testament. He is the brother of Saint Peter and referred to in the Orthodox tradition as the First-Called Greek:??????????? According to Orthodox tradition, the apostolic successor to Saint Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople. The relic of St. Andrew’s head was donated to Pius II (1460). Paul VI (1966) presented the relic as a gift to the Church of St. Andrew in Patras as a sign of friendship with the Greek Orthodox Church. Saint Peter Classical Syriac:??????? Romanized: Petros; Latin: Petrus; r. AD 30;[2] died between AD 64 and 68, also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon /? N/ (listen), Cephas, or Peter the Apostle, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, and the first leader of the early Church. According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. He is traditionally counted as the first bishop of Rome??? And also by Eastern Christian tradition as the first patriarch of Antioch. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and as the founder of the Church of Antioch and the Diocese of Rome, but differ in their attitudes regarding the authority of his successors. According to Catholic teaching, in Matthew 16:18 Jesus promised Peter a special position in the Church. Two general epistles in the New Testament are ascribed to Peter, but modern scholars generally reject the Petrine authorship of both. The Gospel of Mark was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter’s preaching and eyewitness memories. Several other books bearing his name??? The Acts of Peter, Gospel of Peter, Preaching of Peter, Apocalypse of Peter, and Judgment of Peter??? Are considered by Christian denominations as apocryphal, and are thus not included in their Bible canons. Peter is always listed first among the Twelve Apostles in the gospels and in the Book of Acts (Acts 1:13). He is also frequently mentioned in the gospels as forming with James the Elder and John a special group within the Twelve Apostles, present at incidents at which the others were not present, such as at the Transfiguration of Jesus, [28] at the raising of Jairus’ daughter[29] and at the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. Peter often confesses his faith in Jesus as the Messiah. Peter is often depicted in the gospels as spokesman of all the Apostles. John Vidmar, a Catholic scholar, writes: Catholic scholars agree that Peter had an authority that superseded that of the other apostles. Peter is their spokesman at several events, he conducts the election of Matthias, his opinion in the debate over converting Gentiles was crucial, etc. The author of the Acts of the Apostles portrays Peter as the central figure within the early Christian community.
