Where did the 12 Apostle come from or out of?

Question

What seed or nation or tribe did they come out of

Answer 1

Simon (called Peter) and Andrew were brothers and fishermen. They were the first two disciples that Jesus called, and He met them by the Sea of Galilee. (Matthew 4:18)

James and John were Palestinian Jews (John 7:37-39 and 18:28) and the sons of Zebedee and Salome (Mark 15:40-41) who were mending nets in a ship in the Sea of Galilee when Jesus called them. (Matthew 4:21)

Philip

Bartholomew

Thomas

Matthew Levi was a Jewish tax-collector for the Roman government (Mark 2:14 and Matthew 9:9)

James Thaddaeus was the son of Alphaeus and Lebbaeus. (Matthew 10:3)

Simon was from Canaan. (Matthew 10:4)

Judas Iscariot.

John Mark was the son of Mary, a woman of wealth and position in Jerusalem (Acts 12:12)

Luke was a physician and close friend of Paul, and probably the only Gentile author of any part of the New Testament. He was not an eyewitness to Jesus Christ's life. (Colossians 4:14, Luke 1:2)

Timothy was the son of a Greek Gentile father and a Jewish mother named Eunice. (2 Timothy 1:5)

James was most likely written by Jesus' half-brother, James. (Acts 12:17, 15:13, and 21:18) They both hailed from Nazareth.

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 Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him." The Bible also lists the 12 disciples / apostles in Mark 3:16-19 and Luke 6:13-16. In comparing the three passages, there are a couple of minor differences in the names. It seems that Thaddaeus was also know as "Judas, son of James" (Luke 6:16) and Lebbaeus (Matthew 10:3 - NKJV & KJV). Simon the Zealot was also known as Simon the Canaanite (Mark 3:18 - NKJV & KJV). Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, was replaced in the twelve apostles by Matthias (see Acts 1:20-26). Some Bible teachers view Matthias as an "invalid" member of the 12 apostles, and instead believe that the Apostle Paul was God's choice to replace Judas Iscariot as the twelfth apostle.

Answer 2

The 12 Apostles were all Jews (Hebrews). The Bible is not clear which of the Hebrew tribes they came from.

Simon. More generally known as Peter. The brother of Andrew.
Andrew.
James. James was the older brother of John.
John
Philip
Bartholomew
Thomas.
Matthew.
James
Thaddaeus. Also known as "Judas the brother of James;"
Simon the Zealot.
Judas Iscariot. The traitor.

After Judas betrayed Jesus and killed himself a replacement 12th Apostle was choses, Matthias.

Answer 3

Officially, they would all be from the tribe of Judah, since other than the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi all the other tribes were "lost" when the northern Kingdom was destroyed in the 7th century BC.
In fact, coming from Galilee they were very likely what are known as Amha'aretzim(people of the land) and were barely accepted as Jews by the people who lived further south. Ezra had tried to outlaw intermarriage between Jews and non- Jews, but there is little evidence he was successful outside of Jerusalem itself, certainly not in a distant area like Capernum, Nazareth, and the other northern villages.
Even Herod was only half Jewish, and he was king.

Answer 4

They were all Jews ....or if you prefer, Israelites.
They had already started following Jesus (part time) along with many others.
Different ones came from different tribes of Israel.
Have a peak at Luke 6:12-16

Answer 5

Jerusalem

Answer 6

its not where they came from but the type of people they were there was a tax collector and a tax hater, two brothers that wanted God to send lightning and smote people. i cant remember all their personalities but Jesus had his hands full with these guys he picked them on purpose to show how we should unite. If it werent for Jesus these guys would have probably killed each other

Answer 7

some say they never actually all met, the historic timelines are particularly distant. Paul, who penned distinctive the NT actually lived numerous generations after the time of Jesus.

Answer 8

13 is a magickal number. the christians stole that. twelve apostles plus their leader makes thirteen.

Answer 9

They were all Israelites (Jews). Ancestors of the Sephardic Jews, although not the Ashkenazic Jews.

Answer 10

They were collected along the way.
