Peter
He was a fisherman by trade and was originally named Simon, but Jesus gave him the nickname "Peter," which means "rock."
In each of the times the 12 disciples' names are given, Peter's is listed first, signifying his role as "first among equals."
Peter was often the spokesperson for the group and was present at many of the most significant events in Jesus' life, including the Transfiguration and the Last Supper.
After Jesus' death, Peter became a leader in the early Christian church and was instrumental in spreading the message of Jesus to the world.
Where or when he died is not certainly known. Probably he died between A.D. 64 and 67
