A:Yes, Matthew was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. Later in the second century, he was also attributed with writing one of the hitherto gospels, now known as Matthew's Gospel, although modern biblical scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by a disciple.
The traditional author of the second Gospel was Mark the Evangelist. He was one of the seventy disciples of Jesus Christ. This gospel is one of four gospels of the New Testament. He founded the Church at Alexandria and is considered a saint in Christianity.
There is no record in the Bible of how any of Jesus' disciples died.
The story of Jesus appearing to others after his crucifixion and resurrection differs from source to source:Mark's GospelMark's Gospel was the earliest written record and should therefore be the most accurate account. However, in its original form, it finished at verse 16:8, when the young man told the women that Jesus was risen, and they fled in terror telling no one. Jesus did not appear to anyone after his crucifixion and resurrection.The 'Long Ending' (there was also, at one stage, a 'Short Ending') was added much later to add the necessary resurrection appearances. Here Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to "the two of them on the road" (either the two women of Matthew or the two men of Luke), then to the eleven as they sat at a meal - a total of three times.Matthew's GospelMatthew's Gospel says that Jesus appeared only once, to the eleven disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he gave a parting speech. In this gospel there was no appearance in Jerusalem, so Jesus only appeared once, in Galilee.Luke's GospelLuke's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to the two men on the road to Emmaeus, then to the eleven at a meal in the upper room in Jerusalem, after which he led them out towards Bethany, where he was taken up bodily to heaven. In this gospel, Jesus appeared two times. There could be no further appearances, because he ascended to heaven on the same day as his resurrection.John's GospelJohn's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, then to ten disciples in an upper room, then eight days later to all eleven disciples in the same room, then to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee. In this gospel, Jesus appeared four times.Acts of the ApostlesActs of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke's Gospel, but written a little later, says that the risen Jesus was on earth for forty days and was seen by many.
Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, divided the last twenty four hours in the life of Jesus into eight periods of three hours each. Mark has Jesus go to the Garden of Gethsemane at 9 pm, where his closest disciples, Peter, James and John, were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times and each time the disciples fell asleep. It was now midnight, and Jesus had prayed three times.
"Maundy" is a noun meaning the ceremony of washing the feet of the poor, esp. commemorating Jesus' washing of His disciples' feet (Maundy Thursday).
A:Over time, many of the disciples of Jesus were attributed gospels describing events associated with Jesus, either written anonymously or pseudepigraphically. The gospels that we know about included: Gospel of JamesThe Gospel of JohnGospel of JudasThe Gospel of LukeThe Gospel of MarkThe Gospel of MatthewThe Gospel of PeterThe Gospel of PhilipThe Gospel of ThomasIt is well established that none of the disciples actually wrote an eyewitness account, but many of the disciples were honoured with gospels in their names, including Matthew and John and several others.
He told them to go and make disciples.
They act like the disciples when they preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, as that is what the disciples did.
The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.
In the synoptic gospels, Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Jewish Passover on the night of his arrest; the Last Supper was their Seder meal. In John's Gospel, Jesus was arrested on the night before the Passover, thus instead of a detailed mention of the Last Supper, we have the account of Jesus washing their feet. The gospel says that Jesus was crucified on the day prior to the Passover, and makes greater use of Passover imagery than do the other gospels.
Main goal is to spread the gospel. Jesus told His disciples to 'go into all the world and make disciples'. For a person to become a disciple of Jesus Christ they must first respond positively to the gospel.
The gospel of Mark in the second gospel chronologically, and he may not have been one of the 12 apostles, but he certainly had a spiritual walk with Jesus. His mothers house was the place the disciples met after Jesus' resurrection. Some believe it was her house the last supper was eaten in with Jesus and his disciples. If this is so, Mark probably did know Jesus personally while he was on earth.
He went as far as Galilee to spread the Gospel. He did this with his disciples.
No, Nathaniel was not one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is mentioned in the Gospel of John as a friend of Philip who was called by Jesus to follow him.
In the Gospel of Luke, the act of Jesus breathing on the disciples symbolizes the giving of the Holy Spirit and empowers them for their mission to spread the teachings of Jesus and establish the early Christian church. This act signifies the disciples' commission to carry out their mission with the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit.
A:Matthew's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, instructing them to go forth and teach all nations. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that he would be with them always. Luke's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near the Sea of Galilee. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that the beloved disciple (commonly assumed to be John) would live until his return. The reference to Jesus' return suggests that Jesus went up to heaven. We can not say why Jesus did not return within the lifetime of the beloved disciple as promised.Mark's Gospel: This 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. In this gospel, Jesus did not say goodbye to the disciples. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later, largely based on Luke's Gospel, and says that Jesus was taken up into heaven.Acts of the Apostles: Written by the same author as Luke's Gospel but some time later, this also says that Jesus was taken bodily up into heaven, but this time near Mount Olivet and rather long after the resurrection.
