The names of the twelve disciples of Jesus are Simon Peter, Andrew, James (the son of Zebedee), John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James (the son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot. (See Matthew 10:1-4 and Luke 6:12-16.)
However, even when Jesus was still on earth, the terms disciples and apostles were used somewhat interchangeably. The original twelve disciples/apostles are listed in Matthew 10:2–4, “These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and ...
Le terme « Apôtre » signifie « envoyé». Pendant le ministère terrestre de Jésus, les douze étaient appelés disciples. Ils suivaient Jésus-Christ, apprenaient de lui et étaient formés par lui. Après sa résurrection et son ascension, il les a envoyés pour être ses témoins (Matthieu 28.18-20, Actes 1.8). Ils furent alors appelés ...
Of those twelve, three disciples (Peter, James, and John) seem to have been the closest to Jesus and acted as an “inner circle” to Christ. Peter, James, and John were among the earliest of Jesus’ disciples who had been with Him the longest (Luke 5:4–11). But the Bible does not say why Jesus chose Peter, James, and John as His inner circle.
How old were Jesus’ disciples? Answer. The Bible does not specifically give the ages of any of the original twelve disciples. However, a few observations can be made regarding their ages. First, Scripture teaches Jesus was about 30 years old when He began His public ministry (Luke 3:23). In Jewish culture, disciples (or students) were ...
In Matthew 4:18–22, the first disciples to be called are listed like this: Simon Peter and Andrew James and John Mark 1:16–20, lists the first disciples in the same order: Simon and Andrew James and John Luke 5:4–11 lists the first disciples as Simon Peter James and John John 1:35–51 relates Jesus’ early encounters with these men:
Jesus then told the 70 (or 72) disciples that they might expect rejection in some villages (Luke 10:10), and He told them how to respond: publicly wipe the dust of that town from their feet (Luke 10:11; cf. 9:5), proclaim the kingdom one more time, and warn them of coming judgment (Luke 10:12).
Answer. Jesus washing the feet of the disciples (John 13:1–17) occurred in the upper room during the Last Supper and has significance in three ways. For Jesus, it was the display of His humility and servanthood in forgiving sinners. For the disciples, the washing of their feet displayed a mindset in direct contrast to their heart attitude at ...
Thaddeus was one of the original twelve disciples chosen by Jesus Christ. Thaddeus, whose name is also spelled Thaddaeus, is somewhat of a mystery apostle. For one, Thaddeus is hardly mentioned in the Bible. To complicate matters, Scripture refers to Thaddeus by a few different names. Jerome, a fourth-century Bible scholar, dubbed Thaddeus ...
The only apostle whose death the Bible records is James (Acts 12:2). King Herod had James “put to death with the sword,” likely a reference to beheading. The circumstances of the deaths of the other apostles are related through church tradition, so we should not put too much weight on any of the other accounts.
