In the early chapters of Acts, Peter is pretty much Top Dog.
Later, this seems to fade.
Paul rebukes Peter at Antioch, for when "certain of James" arrived, Peter drew back from eating with Gentiles. James seems to be at least the Emcee, if not "in charge" at the Acts 15 council.
At one point, Paul seemed to say "I am apostle to the uncircumcised, as Peter is to the circumcision"
James, as best I can figure, is a half-brother to Jesus by an earlier marriage of Joseph (I think this of Jude and the other brothers and sisters of Jesus), and James was not originally a disciple, how he got to be one of the PILLARS is beyond me.
The other James, brother of John of Zebedee, was one of the early martyrs.
Peter, we know was in both Jerusalem and Antioch - was he also later in Rome (
