The disciples of Jesus came from various tribes and regions within ancient Israel. Some of the disciples, such as Peter, Andrew, James, and John, were Galileans from the tribe of Judah. Others, like Philip and Nathanael, were also from Galilee but their specific tribal affiliations are not explicitly mentioned in The Bible. Judas Iscariot, on the other hand, is believed to have been from the tribe of Benjamin.
No, the 12 disciples were not specifically chosen from the 12 tribes of Israel. They were selected by Jesus from various backgrounds to follow him and spread his teachings.
I am assuming that you are asking if the twelve disciples came from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. First of all there were many disciples but Jesus did select twelve to be the closest to him. All twelve tribes are not represented. We know this because there were two sets of brothers (Andrew and Peter, James and John) so that the maximum number of tribes represented is ten.
Jesus chose 12 disciples to symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel and to help spread his teachings to all people.
Some who are sceptical about the gospels story say that the twelve disciples represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Some even go further and say that, in both cases, the twelve derives from the twelve star signs in the heavens.Answer 2If the question "represent" is intended as "come from", i.e. did each of Jesus' twelve disciples come from a different tribe, then the answer is: No. All of Jesus' followers were either Levites or Judahites. The other tribes were not represented.Answer/Maybe.According to the Epistle of Barnabas, who wrote: '.. to whom the Lord gave authority to preach his Gospel : being at the beginning twelve, to signify the tribes, because there were twelve tribes of Israel.' Note that the earliest known version of the Epistle of Barnabas is from the 4th century (~300 years after Barnabas walked the earth) and is only only ascribed to Barnabas by tradition so its authenticity is unknown.
The 12 disciples of Jesus are often seen as representing a new spiritual Israel, with each disciple symbolizing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. Just as the 12 tribes were the foundation of the Old Testament covenant, the 12 disciples were the foundation of the New Testament church. Both groups were chosen by God to spread His message and establish His kingdom on earth.
The correlation between the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 disciples of Jesus is that both groups represent a foundational aspect of the faith. The 12 tribes of Israel were the descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob, who formed the nation of Israel. The 12 disciples were chosen by Jesus to spread his teachings and establish the Christian faith. The number 12 holds symbolic significance in both contexts, representing completeness and unity in the divine plan.
what is significant about the number 12 in the bible is that there were 12 tribes of Judah, and there were 12 disciples
The Qur'an mention some disciples of Jesus, but not specifically says it is 12. But The Qur'an says clearly there are 12 tribes/nations whom led by the Prophet Moses.
No tribes will come till you have allied the first one or attacked it.
in a deeply SYMBOLIC action he chose twelve disciples, one for each of the ancient tribes
well an obvious one is the twelve disciples and there are probably many more that i can't remember.
Disciples comes from all over the world and from all walks of life. They are someone who believes and helps to spread the doctrine of another.
