And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James;
and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,
And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
was the traitor.
Acts 1:13
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of
Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men
that stood with him.

Acts 2:14-40
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice,
and said unto them, "Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at
Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words;
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see
visions, and your old men shall dream dreams' [...]
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
and Christ."
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, "Men and
brethren, what shall we do?"
Then Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptized every one
of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all
that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall
call."
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,
"Save yourselves from this untoward generation."
Peter worked first healing.
Acts 3:6-7
Then Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I
have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk."
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
That the Gentiles were to be baptized was revealed to Peter.
Acts 10:46-48
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter,
"Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Simon is Cephas (Aramaic: Kepha for rock).
John 1:42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas", which is by interpretation, 'A stone'.
"Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.... the keys of the kingdom of heaven..."
Matthew 16:18-19
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
Keys (in Matthew 16:19, above) as symbol of authority - and especially authority over the house of David.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his
shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall
shut, and none shall open.

things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath
the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and
shutteth, and no man openeth;

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
"Feed my sheep" - Peter is to act as a shepherd.
John 21:15-17
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, "Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" He saith unto him,
"Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee." He saith unto him,
"Feed my lambs."
He saith to him again the second time, "Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
"Simon ... strengthen your brethren".
Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."
"Vicars" (substitutes) of Christ.
Luke 10:1-2, 16
After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and
sent them two and two before his face into every city and
place, whither he himself would come.
Therefore said he unto them, "The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest....
He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
me."

send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.

beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God.

And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor
rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ
Jesus.
Acts 5:1-5
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold
a possession,
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to
it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles'
feet.
But Peter said, "Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to
lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of
the land?
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived
this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but
unto God."
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the
ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these
things.
Humans can be holy (as in "Holy Father"; cf. "call no one holy").
Mark 6:20
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an
holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many
things, and heard him gladly.

since the world began...

all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy
