Explanation:

This question is asking about the first four disciples of Jesus. The options are:

Option A: Simon, Bartholomew, John and James

Option B: Simon, Andrew, John and James (Correct)

Option C: Peter, Simon, John and James

Option D: Peter, James, Levi and John

The correct answer is Option B: Simon, Andrew, John and James. These were the first four disciples of Jesus. Simon was later renamed Peter by Jesus. Andrew was Simon Peter's brother. James and John were brothers and were the sons of Zebedee. They were all fishermen when Jesus called them to follow him and become fishers of men.

It is important to note that while the question only asks about the first four disciples, Jesus had many more disciples, including women. Some of the other famous disciples include Matthew (also known as Levi), who was a tax collector before becoming a disciple, and Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Jesus.

Knowing the names of the disciples is important in understanding the history of Christianity and how it spread. It also helps us understand how ordinary people were called by Jesus to follow him and become his disciples.
