C
The Pope
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Acts, Paul began his persecutions in Jerusalem, a view at odds with his assertion that he did not know any of the Jerusalem followers of Christ until well after his own conversion (Galatians 1:4–17).

Detailed explanation-2: -Paul’s call to be the Apostle to the gentiles was shocking because, as he freely admits, he had previously persecuted the church of God.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paul the Apostle says that Peter had the special charge of being apostle to the Jews, just as he was apostle to the Gentiles. Another apostle, James, is regarded as the leader of the Jewish Christians.

Detailed explanation-4: -St. James the Greater was the first Apostle to be martyred for his faith. He willingly dropped everything at the seashore to follow Jesus as his first Apostle. He knew that Jesus was the Son of God, and knowingly walked with Jesus.
