Who Were The 12 Deciples Of Jesus? Name Them..................?

Question

Where did they come from?

What were their Belieft's?

Answer 1

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). Simon the Zealot was also known as Simon the Canaanite (Mark 3:18). 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.

The twelve disciples / apostles were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. Among the 12 were fishermen, a tax collector, and a revolutionary. The Gospels record the constant failings, struggles, and doubts of these twelve men who followed Jesus Christ. After witnessing Jesus' resurrection and ascension into Heaven, the Holy Spirit transformed the disciples / apostles into powerful men of God who "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6). What was the change? The 12 apostles / disciples had "been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). May the same be said of us!

Answer 3

# Simon. More generally known as Peter. The brother of Andrew. A fisherman from the Sea of Galilee. Considered to be the most impulsive of the group, always ready to speak up, and swing a sword on occasion (e.g. the cutting off of a man's ear at the time of Jesus' arrest - see The Fateful Night). Some traditions hold that he was eventually crucified, upside down, by the Romans. There has been a very long debate as to whether or not he was actually the first pope.

# Andrew. He was active in bringing people to Jesus, including his brother Peter.

# James. James was the older brother of John. He was the first of The Twelve to be martyred.

# John. See The Apostle John and The Island Of Patmos

# Philip. From Bethsaida, as were Andrew and Peter. Eventually martyred, possibly at Hierapolis.

# Bartholomew. He was one of the disciples to whom Jesus appeared at the Sea of Tiberias after His resurrection. He was also a witness of the Ascension.

# Thomas. He was also called Didymus which is the Greek version of his name. Not easily convinced, he has the nickname "Doubting Thomas" because he wanted to actually see and touch Jesus after His Resurrection. Certainly a good witness for us today, because he wanted indisputable proof of what he was expected to report about, and he got it.

# Matthew. Formerly a tax-collector at Capernaum, he became one of the more prominent apostles.

# James. Known as James the Younger, or James the Less, he wrote the epistle which bears his name.

# Thaddaeus. Also known as "Judas the brother of James;" while John probably referring to the same person, speaks of "Judas, not Iscariot."

# Simon the Zealot. The Zealots were a nationalistic sect with very strong political views. There seemed to be a wide variety of personalities among the apostles.

# Judas Iscariot. The traitor. See Why Did He Do It?

# Matthias. To bring the number back up to twelve after Judas fell away, Matthias was chosen by the remaining eleven apostles.

Answer 4

They were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot.

I think most of them met Jesus when he was preparing for ministry in Nazareth by the Sea of Galilee...the bible doesn't say how each one met Jesus, but the one thing they obviously all believed is that Jesus was the son of God, and they all agreed to leave their lives behind to follow him.

Answer 5

12 apostles. He had tons of disciples
- Peter, met Jesus when He asked to borrow his boat
- James son of Zebedee, with Peter in the boat
- John son of Zebedee, with Peter
- Andrew, Peter's brother
- Philip, met Jesus when he was called from loafing
- Thomas
- Batholemew
- Matthew, aka Levi, was called from his tax collector table
- James son of Alpheus
- Simon the zealot
- Judas son of James
- Judas Iscariot, you know what he did

they lived in Galilee, the mediterranian, in the Roman Empire
they were Jews. Simon the zealot wanted to overthrow Rome by force before he joined on, Philip and Thomas were skeptics, Matthew was an ex-theif (tax collector).

Answer 6

The names of the 12 disciples differ in different books of the Bible. It doesn't really matter what names they are given, as they are just as fictional as the character of Jesus.

12 was yet another mystical number for the Jews, as there were 12 original tribes, and 12 minor prophets.

The Gospel according to Matthew is traditionally attributed to the disciple, but it was written several generations later and the author is unknown.

Answer 7

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.

As for the rest of the question, dude! Do your own research!

Paul, Judas, James, Peter, Luke, Matthew, Mark, Little James, I think that all.... I think Bartolomew... I think there
