God's will for Jesus is like it is for us as Christians, timing. Jesus was completely tuned into the Father's will so he didn't want certain things said until the proper time, at and after Pentecost when the disciples would be telling everything about him. We need to be tuned into God's timing as well so we don't get discouraged or get ahead of God's plan for us. If we do, we will not succeed as God wants us to.

Those that were to be drawn by the father to the gospel before his death were to be drawn by their hearing in the spirit not by the testimonies of others. 144000@gmx.us

What is the significance in Matthew 28 verse 10 of Jesus telling His disciples to go to Galilee where they would meet Him?

A:Only in Mark's Gospel (14:28) and Matthew's Gospel (26:32) does Jesus tell the disciples that he will see them in Galilee. In Mark's Gospel (16:7), the young man inside the tomb repeats the message that Jesus had previously given the disciples, to meet him in Galilee. Matthew's Gospel omits the account of the young man but, in Matthew 28:10, the risen Jesus tells the women to tell the disciples that he will see them in Galilee.It is only in Matthew's Gospel that Jesus really did meet the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, just as he had told them he would. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one; the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20), which is much closer to Luke's Gospel, was added to Mark's Gospel much later and was therefore unknown to the author of Matthew. So, this author was following Mark's Gospel as closely as possible, and his addition of the resurrection appearances (28:9-10; 28:17-20) reflects this.

Who gave the orders to free the disciples during the arrest of Gethsemane?

As long as you're talking about the famous betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas Iscariot at Gethsemane, then no one actually gave orders to free Jesus' disciples. The three gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke only describe how the disciples fled at Jesus' arrest, but John 18:8 says, "Jesus answered, 'I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way.'" However, John does not record that the disciples were under arrest and that Jesus was "freeing" them--only that He was commanding (by His authority as the Son of God, though the soldiers arresting Him were trying to deny that) that they not be arrested.

What was the name of the disciple that woke Jesus up to calm the storm?

No single disciple is named as being the one who woke Jesus. According to Matthew's account, "His disciples came to Him and awoke Him" (Matt 8:25); Mark says, "they awoke him" (Mk 4:38), and Luke's account says, "they came to Him and awoke Him" (Luke 8:24).


What role did Peter play during Jesus' life?

Because Peter recognized Jesus as the Son of God, he was made the foundatio of the new Christianity movement. Jesus knew He had a very limited time to finish His work on earth. He counted on the disciples to carry on after his ascention. It was an awesome responsiblity for those 12 men, the burden of which may have crushed lesser men.


Did any of the people Jesus delivered from demons go on to evangelize?

The Bible doesn't tell us exactly if they did or did not. The gospel of Luke tells us some women who had had spirits cast out of them went around with Jesus and His disciples - Luke 8: 1-3. But after Jesus was resurrected - we don't know


Where did Jesus walk with some of his disciples after his resurrection?

A:In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus met the two women as they walked, but only met the disciples at a mountain in Galilee and from there sent them forth to teach all nations. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus walked with the two of them on the road to Emmaeus. Afterwards, he met the disciples at an evening meal then walked with them towards Bethany, where he ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection.In John's Gospel, Jesus met the disciples twice at a meal in Jerusalem, then by the Sea of Galilee. It does not seem that he walked any great distance with the disciples at all.Mark's Gospel is the interesting one. It was the first New Testament gospel and originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. So, originally Jesus did not even meet the disciples after his burial. The Long Ending was added much later, to add some much-needed resurrection appearances and to conform as closely as possible with Matthew and Luke. He appeared in another form to the "two of them" (Mark 16:12) and we can choose to understand the two either as the two women of Matthew or the two men of Luke. He then met the disciples at a meal, more or less in line with Luke but without the walk to Bethany and the ascension to heaven, and sent them forth to preach everywhere.


Why did Jesus go to Galilee?

Jesus went to Galilee to begin his ministry, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah and spreading the message of salvation to the people in that region. Galilee was known for being a diverse and populous area, making it an ideal place to start his teachings and gather followers.
