the first disciples

Who were the first disciples called by Jesus to not only follow him but also be his special witnesses of what he said and did?

The apostle John records who were the first 5 people called to follow Jesus.
John and Andrew were the initial 2 people called to be disciples by Christ (John 1:35 - 39).
Then came Peter (also called Simon or Simon Peter, verses 40 - 42),
followed by Philip (verses 43 to 44) and then Nathanael (Bartholomew - verse 45).
The book of Matthew then records that James (a son of Zebedee and brother of John) was called (Matthew 4:21 - 22) followed by Matthew's own calling (Matthew 9:9).

西庇太兒子的母親:根據馬太福音27:56與馬可福音15:40的對照，她的本名是撒羅米。撒羅米就是所羅門的女性名，即平安的意思。撒羅米一生最顯著的事跡，就是代兩個兒子求左臣右相的地位這件事了。

It is Biblically unclear in what order the remaining 5 of the first 12 disciples were specially called. These remaining followers of Jesus were Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Judas brother of James, Simon the Canaanite (Simon the Zealot) and Judas Iscariot.

Jesus seems to have called the 12 apostles (disciples) in at least seven distinct time periods.
Andrew and John were called together.
Peter was then called after his brother Andrew told him about the Messiah.
Philip was called to be a disciple the day after Peter.
Nathanael (Bartholomew) was called after Philip told him about the Lord.
James (son of Zebedee and John's brother) was called as he was mending nets inside a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Matthew received his calling as Jesus was leaving Capernaum. The remaining disciples were called at another time.
