Ο Peter He was from Bethsaida in Galilee and was the son of Jonah and brother of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called. Peter and Andrew were fishermen on Lake Gennesaret. When Jesus arrived at Lake Gennesaret, he met the two brothers who were casting their nets. Immediately after their call, they left their nets and their families and followed him.
Ο Paul born Saul was an Apostle and author of about half of the books of the New Testament. He was one of the most important figures of the early era of Christianity, a supporter of the universality of the Teaching of Jesus. For this reason, he received the name "Apostle to the Gentiles".
