Exactly who wrote the creed is unknown. Many believe it was written by the 12 apostles themselves, but this is probably not true. The original creed developed from simpler texts and was perhaps merged with some phrases from The Bible itself. It underwent many alterations and versions by various authors before today's was settled on. The earliest copy of the modern creed is from between 710 and 714 BCE, in France (during Charlemagne's rule) and it is held that this version dates from around the latter 5th century, but no earlier.

What apostle wrote which line of the Apostle's Creed?

There is no credible evidence that any Apostle wrote any particular lines of the Apostle's Creed. The creed itself is considered to have been written around 140 AD and so, although ancient, it was not written when any of the Apostles were still alive. What it most certainly does embody is the details of the faith which the Apostles believed and which Christians today still follow. In that sense it is worthy of its name.
