Who Were The 12 Disciples/Apostles?

 

Twelve were chosen and given the opportunity to be closer/an inner circle out of many who followed Jesus.  We think we know them well, but most Christians have a difficult time listing more than 6 while many include Mark, Luke, and Paul in the list.  The New Testament gives great detail about a few and “a lick and a promise” (how most husbands dust the house) to most of these men.  Further information/legends are found among other sources, including church tradition.  So, who were they, and what might we know of their lives? 

 

We will seek to uncover something of the information and character of these disciples/apostles over the next few weeks.  We will do this alphabetically, not by amounts of materials available or perceived importance of the person, for if we believe that all persons are important to God, even those about whom we know little have a place in God’s kingdom work.
