How many disciples did Jesus send out?

Answer 1

The Bible says at John 13:21-30, Jesus told his disciples that Judas Iscariot would would be his betrayer, and Judas left the room before Jesus and the 11 faithful partook of the Bread and Wine that represented Jesus' blood and body. Because of the defection of Judas Iscariot, who died unfaithful, there were only 11 apostles remaining, and during the 40 days from Jesus' resurrection until his ascension to heaven he made no appointment of a replacement. Sometime during the ten days between Jesus' ascension and the day of Pentecost it was viewed as necessary that another be selected to fill the vacancy left by Judas, not simply on the basis of his death but, rather, on the basis of his wicked defection, as the Scriptures quoted by Peter indicate. (Ac 1:15-22; Ps 69:25; 109:8; compare Re 3:11.) Thus, by contrast, when the faithful apostle James was put to death, there is no record of any concern to appoint anyone to succeed him in his position of apostle.-Ac 12:2. According to the book of Mark, the decision to replace Judas didn't happen. All TWELVE disciples partook of the bread and wine, not eleven: 'While they were eating, Jesus, took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. "Take it" he said, "this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and handed it to them; and they ALL drank from it' (Mark 14:22-23). The book of mark was written centuries before the "Gospels" of Matthew, Luke and John, and is the ONLY account of Jesus' life. The remaining books of the New Testament are embellishments, hence what is written in the book of Acts concerning the replacement of Judas is not fact but fiction.

Answer 2

The gospel accounts specifically tell of two: John 18:15 - And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. By "another disciple," John is referring to himself. He was also present at the foot of Jesus' cross. John 19:25, 26 - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" By this time, Peter has departed in shame, having denied being a follower of Christ (Matthew 26:75). No other disciples are mentioned as following Jesus to His judgment and crucifixion, so whether they were present or absent is uncertain.
