Mark 3:16-19New International Version (NIV)16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means "sons of thunder"), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
The Zealots called for the violent overthrow of Roman rule.
The 12 disciples were not prophets.
12 disciples of Jesus Christ
They are usually called the Apostles, but they are also referred to as the 12 Disciples. It's better to always include the 12 (with both Apostles and Disciples), both for clarity and also because Christ had many, many disciples.
Ancient Hebrew tribe or group of people who were zealous, that is fanatical or uncompromising.
Jesus selected the group of 12 who became what was called his Disciples. After his death and resurrection, the 12 Disciples became the Apostles or founders of the churches.
No, "zealot" was not a term applied to the twelve, though it can rightly be said that they were "zealous" for Jesus.Only one of Jesus' twelve, a second Simon (not Peter), was known as "the zealot" (Luke 6:15).
We called the 12 men as disciples.
12 Disciples of Jesus
The term 'disciples' means 'imitator' that is followers of Jesus Christ attempting to do things His way. The 'inner group' of disciples that were given to Jesus by His Father are called the 12 Apostles.
The friends and followers during his life were called disciples.(Those who follow Him today can also be called disciples as well as Christians.)The most loyal disciples of Jesus were called the 12 Apostles. These 12 went on to build the Christian Church after his resurrection.
