If John and Peter could heal people just as Jesus did Why did this gift end after those disciples died?
However, just as Acts of the Apostles was written long after the time of John and Peter, so the various other accounts were written long after the event or retold in geographically remote locations. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) recounts that a noble Grecian promised Theophilus, bishop of Antioch, that, if he could be gratified with the sight of a single person who had been actually raised from the dead, he would immediately embrace the Christian religion. Gibbons, in his usual ironic style, found it somewhat remarkable that the prelate, however anxious for the conversion of his friend, thought proper to decline this fair and reasonable challenge.

Which of the 12 disciples was considered the encourager?
It could be Peter.
why did Jesus chose mostly fishermen to be his disciples?
He calls Simon and Andrew “fishers of men” because, to me, they were ordinary people that could connect with the masses while simultaneously following the Gospel. Fishermen had traits that Jesus valued in his disciples. He chose disciples that were willing to learn. He chose disciples that were patient and determined.
What are 2 disiples next to Jeseous?
Two disciples next to Jesus could refer to Peter and John, who were often mentioned as being close to Jesus during his ministry. Another pair often mentioned together are James and John, known as the "sons of thunder."
What did Peter the disciple of Jesus do to betray Jesus?
Judas Iscariot betrayed jesus for 30 pieces of silver (about a month's wages for a non-skilled worker). He basically told the ruling council of the Temple, and the priests, where he could be found so he could be arrested in secret. This was to prevent his many supporters from rioting as many regarded him as the promised messiah. Note there were 2 Judases in the diciples (the other being Judas, son of Alpheus) and so it was Judas Iscariot who was the betayer. Peter didn't betray Jesus but he did deny ever knowing him (3 times) at his trial, to save his own skin. However, after the resurrection, Jesus forgave him and reinstated him as leader of the disciples. Peter was his supporter. ANOTHER ANSWER: Directly; Judas. Indirectly; Peter and all of Jesus' disciples abandoned and betrayed Him when they "denied" knowing Him; fearing the Jews more than their Master. Peter denied Him, directly, three times... the other disciples, running away, denied Him through their cowardly, unconverted, carnal minded, totally human reaction to the terrifying circumstances.
Which apostle betrayed Jesus?
Peter did not betray Jesus; Judas did that. You might be thinking of the three denials: Jesus predicted that Peter would deny him three times before the crew that morning, and Peter did. (King James version: St. Matthew 26:68-75)

They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus.faithful - If we look at the lives of the disciples throughout the New Testament we can see that they were faithful to the work that Jesus had called them to do.available teachable faithful.
What were the jobs of the Twelve Disciples?
We only know the "occupations" of five or six of the Apostles (the 12 Disciples). Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John (the sons of Zebedee) where all fishermen; Matthew was a tax collector. Simon was known as "the Zealot"; this was likely his "occupation." The Bible is silent on the occupations of the rest of the Apostles -- the other James, Judas, Phillip, Thomas, Batholomew (also known as Nathan), and Thaddeus (some scholars believe that Thaddeus was also known as Jude). The 12 disciples didn't have "jobs" in that sense. A job is when you're paid for your work, while the 12 disciples' work with Jesus was voluntary. They, each in turn, were all called by Jesus himself to follow him. They were asked, not forced. Therefore they had a choice between whether to ditch their lives and follow Jesus or keep their lives as they were. Even though some disciples had more to say with Jesus (e.g., Peter), they all had the same rank ... in a weird sort of way. You could call their tasks, what Jesus asked them to do, jobs. You could say that it was the ''job'' of 1 of Jesus' trusted disciples to betray him on the night of the last supper. You could say it was Simon/Peter's ''job'' to be Jesus' rock, on which he would build his church. Simon bar-Jonah, who was also called Peter, was one of the first disciples Jesus called to follow Him (Matt. 4:18). Simon had a younger brother Andrew. There was another disciple named Simon, but he was referred to as the zealot (Matt. 10:4). Simon-Peter was a part of Jesus' inner circle of disciples and was often close to Jesus throughout His ministry. Although Simon-Peter tended to rush into things (trying to disperse children, was somewhat contemptuous of non-Jews), he was also the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and witnesses Jesus' transfiguration on the mountain (Matt. 17:1-4). Although Simon-Peter fell asleep when Jesus was praying in Gethsemane, he tried to take on the army when they came to arrest Jesus. Simon-Peter however, later denied Jesus, fearing that he also would be arrested. Simon-Peter was one of the first of the male disciples to visit the empty tomb after Jesus was resurrected. Ultimately, Simon-Peter became the leader of the Christian movement in Jerusalem. The best reading for this are the books of Matthew and Acts. The jobs of the disciples were very different, if you're talking about their jobs before they dropped everything and followed Jesus. Some were doctors, some were fishermen. After Jesus asked them to leave everything they had (Their families, their possessions, their jobs, their source of money) and follow Him, they were just beginning a long journey. Their "jobs" were to follow Jesus and be faithful Christians and Followers of Him.
When did Jesus feed the disciples by the sea?
Yes Jesus fed the disciples by the sea, after they came tired from fishing.
What kind of spirit did the boy have that the disciples of Jesus could not cure?
The spirit in the boy , which the disciples failed to remouve was a evil spirit.
Where in the scriptures did Jesus appear to Peter after His resurrection?
Mark's Gospel is inconclusive. In its original form, Jesus did not appear to anyone after his resurrection. The "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) was added much later to harmonise more or less with Matthew and Luke, and says that Jesus appeared to "the two" on the road, but these could have been the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's. He the nappeared to the disciples in the upper room, which would have included Peter. Matthew's Gospel says that Jesus only appeared to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, and once again Peter would have been present. Luke's Gospel says that on the day of his resurrection Jesus appeared to two disciples walking along the road, and one of these could have been Peter. He then appeared to the disciples in the upper room, on the same day. John's Gospel says that Jesus appeared to ten of the disciples in the upper room on the day of his resurrection, then a few days later to all eleven of the remaining disciples. He finally appeared to the disciples by the Sea of Galilee. Peter was present on each occasion. Paul says that Jesus was seen by Peter, then the twelve (not eleven, as in the gospels), then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles. However, he does not say just when this was, and indicates that the appearances were spiritual.
Which disciple of Jesus told him he was the Christ of God?
So many people recognized that Jesus was something 'different', but many were not sure what. This was pointed out in Matthew 16:13-16, where Jesus asked this very question of his disciples...Who are people saying I am? Several answers were given, and then he asked: “But what about you?...Who do you say I am?” to whichPeter said "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God".(NIV) Because Peter could see that Jesus was the promised Messiah, he was commended. (Matthew 16:17)
Why did Peter disown Jesus?
Peter succumbed temporarily to the fear of persecution. Any who were associated with Christ were in physical danger. Mark tells us, though, that when Peter thought about his actions, he was bitterly upset about them.
