Who were the 12 Apostles?

It's been awhile since we've had a religion-focused video, so here's an overview of the 12 apostles. Who were they and what do we know about them? Where did they go after the events we've seen in the Bible?

Wow, have forgotten many of the basics. Time to crack open The Book again! Thank you sir.

What an awesome video! Great work. A very clear, detail, and succinct overview of the apostles. Something I've really been looking for and a great intro that has me wanting to dive in more. Thank you!

Great analysis! One thing about who wrote the four Gospels - most scholars agree that Matthew and John were written by the Matthew and John (John also being refereed to as the disciple whom Jesus loved most) who were of the original 12. Mark and Luke, however, were not of the original 12. Luke was a Gentile (non-Jews) and his gospel account is written from the perspective of a historian looking to show this truth to other Gentiles. Mark (called John Mark in the book of Acts) is known for being a sort of helper to Simon Peter.
In general, Matthew's gospel appeals to the Jewish community, often making it a point to showcase when Old Testament prophecies had been fulfilled through Jesus. Mark's gospel is typically considered to be the first one written. Luke's gospel tends to point out important historical details of the day. John's gospel provides a more in-depth theological analysis of the implications laid out by Jesus.

Thank you so much. The paintings you used are very beautiful too. I am going back to the Catholic church and this helps with catechism.

Really informative. And just before I start reading the Bible as an agnostic. Thank you so much

This is great! I also wanted to know what their names were in their original language, and how it was pronounced.

Ephesians, one of my favorites for instruction and for hope, is by Paul, the prophet of the gentiles, once called Saul, before Christ appeared to him. Leviticus mentions all the things God considers an abomination and Deuteronomy goes into laws as well, but if you want to learn what Jesus told us to do and not do, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the first 4 books of the New Testament, are what contain the teachings of Jesus. Those are most important. Revelation is all about end times prophecy and Jesus mentions somewhere that if you read that while under the Holy Spirit, and understand what the meanings of those prophecies are, the hidden stuff in the rest of thee bible becomes revealed to you. It was reading Revelation that set me on my journey with God's Word. You might need help with some background info on the allegorical references in Revelation. Daniel gives similar prophecy.

It's actually Thomas (The Twin). He was the first to acknowledge that Jesus was indeed the Lord and also offered to die for him. Kind of sad we call him doubting as he didn't believe the disciples, yet he knew Jesus and was blown away when he seen him. I find Thomas to be so much more important than what he gets credit. He knew Jesus was the Lord.

We seem very unsure about who was who and how many there were overall. So how can we say there were 12?

There is Judas Cave here in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia known as Alqarah Mountain for locals. I dunno if it's true but a lot of Christians visiting there because they believed Judas hid and hung himself and suicide .Its a beautiful cave big rocks formation

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?
The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on YouTube, which shows the real causes of Christian sects and atheism. The video reveals a prophecy about the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the end of the world. Watching this video will bring joy to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

What is the name of the music playing in the background?

John and Matthew were apostles. Luke and Mark were not.

[jasonthorpe]

I don't think there is really any debate as to whether or not the Apostle wrote the gospel. From what I'm aware basically all scholars agree that the gospels were not written by the historical Matthew, Mark, Luke and John rather they were written by anonymously different times by various Christians scribes whose names we will never know, and the names were attached to them later.

Does anyone think maybe it's kind of a coincidence that TIME referred to the 12 people with Jesus? 12 months a year? 12 o'clock? 2012 when the person happens to realized he's the second coming? Reincarnation is real and he's here now.

Have any of you listened to the episode on the 12 Apostles on the podcast, "The Ancient Tradition"? It's pretty interesting in terms of cosmic order.

[teneillewhite]

Could you do a segment on hebrews and their decedent's of today.

[gershom]

Thank you. The gospel they conveyed. →　Christ died for our sins. He was buried. He was raised on the third day. He appeared to the apostles.　1 Corinthians 15:1-5 Isaiah 53　
Anyone is saved just by believing in the gospel.　 Romans 1:16　Ephesians 2:8-9

[janosanfran]

Very difficult to hear, but I liked what I was able to hear. Thanks!
