What did john thomas Philip Judas and James do in the Bible?

Answer 1

John, of course, did the most. He was part of Jesus' inner circle (along his brother James, and Peter). As such, he was there for the raising of Jairus' daughter (Mark 5:37), the Transfiguration (Mark 9), and the Garden before the arrest (Mark 14:33). He and his brother James asked to call fire down from heaven against a village that had rejected Jesus (Luke 9:54, Jesus turned him down), and they asked for privileged positions (Mark 10:35). In the early chapters of Acts, he works by Peter's side. James was killed in Acts 12. Thomas has the unfortunate title of "Doubter," and indeed he did express reservations about the resurrection (John 20:24). But in other places he shows great faith, included a time in which he seemed prepared to follow Jesus into certain persecution and death (John 11:16). He also posed the question which lead to a classic verse in John 14:5 - 6. Philip introduced Nathanael to Jesus (John 1:45). He expressed doubts over being able to feed the multitude (John 6:7). Some outsiders came to Philip asking to meet Jesus, Philip turned the matter over to Andrew (John 12:21). He also asked to be shown the Father, leading to a trinitarian response from Jesus (John 14:8 - 9). Philip the Apostle should not be confused with the Philip who takes prominence in the book of Acts, having baptized the Ethiopian eunich. These appear to be two different men. As for Judas, he of course betrayed Jesus. He was the treasurer of the group, but had a habit of helping himself to the money (John 12:6).
