Actually Jesus died first so he could not tell the apostles anything when they died.
Simeon, who saw the baby Jesus, was neither an apostle or disciple. He was a prophet and teacher. Simon Peter was also referred to as Simeon, in which case he was both an apostle and disciple.
Saint James the Greater is known as the brother of Saint John the Apostle. They were both apostles of Jesus and were referred to as the "Sons of Thunder" in the Bible.
Judas Iscariot was one of the original disciples of Jesus Christ, and the one who betrayed Him. He was not a blood brother of Jesus.
No. John the Apostle was one of Jesus's 12 Apostles. Jesus was, however, related to John the Baptist.No Jesus was never related to John the apostle. He was related to John the baptist, as they were both cousins. John the apostle father was named Zebedee, but John the baptists father was a priest called Zechariah.
No, it isn't. For example: Matthew 6:30 - Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. [NKJV]
Before they became disciples of Jesus, both Andrew and his brother Peter were fishermen by trade.
Yes, "dying tiger - moaned for drink" is an example of alliteration because the "m" sound is repeated at the beginning of both words.
Both a apostle and a disciple are the same thing. A disciple is somebody who attaches themselves to a teacher's doctrines, which the Twelve were whilst Jesus was on Earth. However, when the Holy Spirit came upon them in Jerusalem, they had been commanded to go out, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The term APOSTLE means one who is sent out. Thus the DISCIPLES became APOSTLES when they started their own ministries.
This question has been debated for years. On the one hand, you have Jesus as divine suffering and dying, and on the other you have his own words "MY God, My God, why have you forsaken me?". Christians hold that Jesus was both fully God and fully human at the same time. Therefore, in his divine nature he suffered and died, while in his human nature he suffered the ultimate separation from God that is the inevitable result of sin. (Not that Jesus sinned, but that he bore the penalty for our sins).
Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.
Absolutely not! Catholics believe that Jesus was God made flesh. In other words, he was both God and man.
Actually there was more than one.Two of the apostles, James and his brother John are Jesus first cousins. There is also another apostle named James, who was the son of Alphaeus, who was probably the brother of Joseph, Jesus adoptive father. This would make this second James also Jesus cousin. So there were possibly three postles who were Jesus cousins, both apostles named James, and the apostle John.Another cousin of Jesus was John the Baptist, who began preaching six months before Jesus began preaching. In this way, he prepared the people to receive Jesus. John the baptist was actually Jesus' second cousin.John 1:6-8, 15-28;Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:12-16
