Do you have to be a Christian to be a disciple?
It depends on what you call a disciple. If you mean 'one of Jesus's disciples' then yes. Jesus says in John "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the father exept though me." So in that case, yes, you have to be a Christian to be a disciple of Jesus.
Which disciple did Jesus tell to tarry till he comes back?
A:There is a curious passage in John 21:22-23, where Jesus says to Peter thatif he wills thatthe 'disciple whom Jesus loved' (commonly assumed to be John)tarry until Jesus comes, what is that to Peter?This was a rebuke to Peter, not a command to the beloved disciple, nora prophecy that the beloved disciple would never die or be spared a martyr's death.The next verse saysthatthis saying went abroad, misinterpreted that the disciple should not die, yetJesus said not this, but "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"So, the statement was made to Peter and was about the "Disciple whom Jesus loved," commonly supposed to be the apostle John.
Who was the beloved disciple in verse 2 of John 20?
Additional info: Beloved disciple is a term in John's Gospel for a disciple for whom Jesus had deep feelings; variously identified as Lazarus, an anonymous source or author of the Gospel, an idealized disciple, or John's reference to himself without using his own name. Church tradition and interpretation of biblical evidence appear to point to John.
The last of the apostles to die was John?
We do not really know when any of Jesus' disciples died. Some believe that John was the last to die, based on the assumption that he was the author of the Gospel in his name. Others say that perhaps the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was the last to die, becaue John's Gospel says of him, "He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?" However, some scholars, quoted by Raymond E Brown, believe that the Beloved Disciple was purely symbolic, representing the perfect disciple. There is a view among some Christians that John and the Beloved Disciple were the same person.
Which disciple was Jesus talking about when he told Peter it was none of his concern?
When Jesus told Peter "What is that to you? You must follow me," in response to Peter's question about the fate of another disciple, he was referring to the disciple John. Jesus was emphasizing the importance of focusing on one's own journey and relationship with him rather than comparing or worrying about others.
What did jesus identify as a major need in disciple's life?
Jesus clearly said that to be disciple of his one must be ready to forgo both family and friends as well as wealth to be a disciple of his, all must be forsaken to follow him. Even wen a man said I will bury my father and come , it weas not correct.
Who was the person who raced to the tomb Jesus was buried in with peter and heard that Jesus was not there?
"Peter..., and that other disciple",raced to the garden tomb.after Mary found it empty:-John 202Then she [Mary] runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the otherdisciple,whom Jesus loved,and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.3Peter therefore went forth, and that otherdisciple, and came to the sepulchre.4So they ["Peter..., and that other disciple",] ran both together: and the otherdiscipledid outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.8Then went in also that otherdisciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.This otherdisciple,was the onewhom Jesus loved [v.2] ,John 2120 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whomJesuslovedfollowing; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said...v.21... .to Jesus, Lord, and what shallthis man do?22 Jesussaith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is thatto thee? follow thou me.23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: .yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, whatis thatto thee?..24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.It is reasonable to assume this disciple "whomJesusloved" outlived all the others.All the disciples died earlier than normal through martyrdom except John who died naturally of old age. This other disciple would therefore have to be John son of Zebbedee. (The phrase " otherdisciple"is only found in the Gospel of John, who did not want to mention himself by name because of humility.),
Is it written in the Bible that St John shall not see death until Jesus comes again?
No. This was a case of false reporting and rumour. John addressed this error in his own Gospel: John 21:20-24. 20Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 24This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
Who were the people present when Jesus Christ died on the cross?
A:The gospels agree that Jesus was crucified with two others, apparently thieves. Apart from Jesus and the two others, there were soldiers and perhaps the throng who came for entertainment. In the synoptic gospels, no one whom Jesus knew had come to the crucifixion, but his mother Mary and others of his acquaintance stood afar off. In John's Gospel, Mary is at the cross, joined by the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene. A late second-century tradition is that he beloved disciple was John, son of Zeberdee.
What does Jesus mean when he says about the disciple who will not die?
Jesus actually said that they would not taste death until they had seen the Kingdom of God or the royal splendour. Some believe this was fulfilled immediately afterwards when the disciples witnessed the Transfiguration. Others think it could be a reference to the visions which John had and recorded in Revelation.Luke 9:27 "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."John 21:21-23 - Peter, seeing him [John], said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?" 22 Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me." 23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?" [NKJV]
Is it possible to be one of Jesus's deciples after his death?
Yes it is possible to be a disciple of Jesus today, now. In John 17:20 Jesus prayed for all believers. This includes all people who come to Jesus for Salvation in this age. The apostles preached the word of God to people of their time and each generation since has passed along the Gospel (Good News) that Jesus saves. You can be a disciple of Jesus the moment you accept Jesus in your heart (Be Born Again). Jesus came to die for the sins of the world, but you have to accept Jesus personally for this salvation to become reality in your life. Read Romans 10:9-11. Jesus is coming soon. Are your ready?
