Yet there soon appeared great distinctive differences amongst them, accordino- as either Christ himself distinguished some of them partly as his earliest intimate associates, or as the course of time brouo-ht out particularly the measure of their activity and their faithful- ness. Thus in that age which we are now accustomed to call the Apostolic age, there was established somewhat early a definite order in which the names of the Twelve were generally recorded ; and in such series of names the ...surnames also were generally mentioned with which it was customary to distinguish, the different Apostles according to expressions by which Christ himself had chai-acterised them. This order in which the Twelve were enumerated remained always the same in its most essential features ; only smaller departures from it were perhaps allowed. At the head the two pairs of brothers, who, as we have scen, ^ had been the fii-st disciples and also always very intimate friends of Christ, were always named. And of these again Simon, who was, as we have seen, '' early surnamed Cephas or Peter, was placed first: distinguished by his age, his quiet steadfastness and decision, and also by his readiness in speech and daring amongst men, no less than by a special confidence in him on the part of Christ himself, he was soon looked upon as primus inter pares, and always retained also in subsequent times this voluntary high consideration on the part of his fellow- ' ]'.
