Jesus just called them as he saw them on the road, peter and Andrew by the sea Matthew by the tax table.And so on.
Jesus had chosen his disciples, to work and spread the word after he died.
The disciples were chosen by Jesus through personal invitation. He called them to follow him, and they responded by leaving their previous lives to become his followers and learn from him.
The twelve disciples.
Jesus chose 12 disciples as his followers.
The word "apostle" comes from a Greek term meaning "sent forth" or "messenger" (the word "angel" comes from a different Greek word meaning "messenger").So, it's kind of false. The disciples were chosen to be disciples. It may be presumed that the ultimate plan was to make them all "messengers" ... bearers of the euangelion (in English, "good news") ... but they weren't chosen first to be disciples and then later chosen separately to be messengers, and by some amazing coincidence it just happened to be a bunch of the same guys. The word "apostle" is used for many early Christian teachers, not just the disciples.
The disciples didn't have to do anything. Jesus chose regular men and transformed them into preachers, teachers and healers. And that is what God can do for you if you let him :)
The 12 disciples of Jesus played a significant role in spreading his teachings and establishing the early Christian church. They were chosen by Jesus to be his closest followers and were instrumental in carrying on his message after his death.
They didn't. The disciples saw Jesus as a man, and God's chosen Messiah. It was the false prophet Paul who perverted the message of Jesus.
The disciples of Jesus in order of their significance in his ministry were Peter, James, and John. These three disciples were often chosen by Jesus to witness important events such as the Transfiguration and the raising of Jairus' daughter.
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.
No, John the Baptist was not one of the 12 disciples. He was a prominent figure in the New Testament who baptized Jesus and preached about repentance. The 12 disciples were chosen by Jesus to be his closest followers and spread his teachings.
Matthias was chosen by the disciples to replace Judas (Acts 1:26).
