Answer 2

Jesus chose from among his followers twelve men whom he called his apostles to be in his inner circle:
(1) Simon Peter and his brother (2) Andrew; the brothers (3) James and (4) John Ben Zebedee (the “Sons of Thunder”); (5)Philip; (6) Bartholomew; (7) Thomas; (8) Matthew the tax collector; (9) James Ben Alphaeus; (10) Thaddaus; (11) Simon Zelotes; and (12) Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him (Mk. 3: 14ff).
Later, the place of Judas Iscariot was given to (13) Matthias.

Answer 3

Jesus (peace be upon him - pbuh) had 12 disciples - Paul declared himself the 13th although he never met Jesus at all;
- so Paul was really not a disciple at all.
- and except Barnabas (one of the disciples) none of the disciples wanted to consider giving Paul the declaration of faith because he persecuted many Christians back then - and killed them; later on,even Barnabas denounced Paul as making a new faith different from what Jesus (pbuh) said.
- we Muslims consider Jesus and his true foloowers frm that time as Muslims as well.

Answer 4

They are all listed in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) in the order Jesus selected them. The last one (after Jesus & Judas I. died) replaced Judas I. and was selected by rolling the dice. God bless you. ~Nise~
