Simon bar-Jonah, who was also called Peter, was one of the first disciples Jesus called to follow Him (Matt. 4:18). Simon had a younger brother Andrew. There was another disciple named Simon, but he was refered to as the zealot (Matt. 10:4). Simon-Peter was a part of Jesus' inner circle of discples and was often close to Jesus throughout His minsitry. Although Simon-Peter tended to rush into things (trying to disperse children, was somwhat contemptuous of non-Jews), he was also the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and witnesses Jesus' transfiguration on the mountain (Matt. 17:1-4). Although Simon-Peter fell asleep when Jesus was praying in Gesthsemane, he tried to take on the army when they came to arrest Jesus. Simon-Peter however, later denied Jesus, fearing that he also would be arrested. Simon-Peter was one of the first of the male disciples to visit the empty tomb after Jesus ahs been resurrected. Ultimately, Simon-Peter became the leader of the Christian movement in Jerusalem. The best reading for this are the books of Matthew and Acts.

When did Andrew become an apostle?
AnswerIn Mark and Matthew, Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. So, Andrew became an apostle at the same time as Peter, when Jesus began to preach. In Luke, Jesus met Simon Peter in his mother's house, but did not call him at that stage. Later, he helped some fishermen in a boat - James and John, sons of Zebedee, and Simon. Jesus told Simon that he would follow Jesus, so the three left their boat and followed Jesus. Apparently Andrew at some stage also joined Jesus, because when Jesus chose his twelve disciples, he included Andrew among them.In John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. John told him and another disciple to follow Jesus. Later, Andrew fetched his brother Simon, who joined the other disciples. Once again, Andrew was one of the first two disciples, although this time before his brother Simon Peter.
