what are the 15 apostles?

Answer 1

Here are all fifteen:
Simon: called Peter (Grk. petros, petra; Aram. kēf; Engl. rock) by Jesus, also known as Simon bar Jonah and Simon bar Jochanan (Aram.) and earlier (Pauline Epistles were written first) Cephas (Aram.) by Paul of Tarsus and Simon Peter, a fisherman from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44; cf. 12:21)
Andrew: brother of Peter, a Bethsaida fisherman and disciple of John the Baptist, and also the First-Called Apostle
James: ("the Great") and
John: sons of Zebedee, called by Jesus Boanerges (an Aramaic name explained in Mk 3:17 as "Sons of Thunder")
Philip: from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44, 12:21)
Bartholomew: in Aramaic "bar-Talemai?", "son of Talemai" or from Ptolemais, some identify with Nathanael
Thomas: also known as Judas Thomas Didymus - Aramaic T'oma' = twin, and Greek Didymous = twin
James: ("the Less"), son of Alphaeus, some identify with James the Just[1]
Matthew: the tax collector, some identify with Levi son of Alphaeus
Simon the Canaanite: called in Luke and Acts "Simon the Zealot", some identify with Simeon of Jerusalem[2]
Judas Iscariot: the name Iscariot may refer to the Judaean towns of Kerioth or to the sicarii (Jewish nationalist insurrectionists), or to Issachar; he was replaced as an apostle in Acts by Matthias
Larry of Fine: Interestingly enough, along with being a violin player he also was a boxer. Larry earned money as a light weight fighter. Later on he would develop an act in which he would do a Russian dance while playing the violin. It was this act that caught the attention of Ted Healy. After Shemp decided to leave Ted Healy's act, Moe suggested that perhaps Larry could replace Shemp. The trio, Moe, Larry, and Shemp first appeared on Broadway in A Night in Venice. Larry also appeared in The Stooges first full length motion picture, "Soup to Nuts,"
Jerome Lester Horwitz (Curley of Brooklyn):
Curly at the time was known as "Babe." When Babe showed up to talk to Healy to join the act he had long wavy brown hair and a mustache. In order to join the act Babe agreed to shave off his mustache and shave his head. Now referred to as Curly, he joined the team and played with the Stooges in vaudeville acts and comedy shorts for MGM. Later, in 1934, Curly along with Larry and Moe performed in many of the shorts that were produced for Columbia Pictures.
Moses Horwitz (Moe): After a short stint outside of show business, Moe rejoined Ted Healy. Larry Fine joined the act in 1925. Healy with his Stooges appeared in a string of vaudeville shows including A Night in Venice. Ted Healy and his Stooges made their first screen appearance in the classic 1930's comedy feature "Soup to Nuts" for 20th Century Fox. This film was followed by a series of comedies for Metro Goldwyn Mayer.

There were only 12 original apostles, not 15.They were the first followers of Christ [Christians].

Answer 4

12 Apostles. Nobody really counts Larry, Moe, and Curly.

Now, if you mean Epistles ....those are letters, mostly written by Paul, to various churches where Christianity had spread to. Some of them were praise, and some were to redirect attention of the Church to matters that directly impacted those in that particular area.

Thes1&2, Cor 1&2, Timothy 1&2, Eph, Col, Gal, etc ...

Answer 5

Um, Jesus had 12 apostles, not 15!! And they were the guys who were his most trusted followers and the originators of the Catholic church, who spread Jesus' word after his death.

Answer 6

uh wrong! there are 24 elders that sit on a throne in heaven. i dont think they include judas.
the first 11 apostles drew lots and and chose one to replace judas. then there were lots drawn again and Paul was ordained as well.
so, the reference to 24 elders imply that a correction must be applied to how many apostles were on the earth.
