The event that demonstrated to the 12 disciples that Jesus was the Messiah was his resurrection from the dead.
The event in the Gospels that convinced the disciples that Jesus was the Son of God was the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion.
The reason for Jesus to choose 12 disciples, was mainly to do the work and do the teachings of Jesus after he died on the cross.
The miracle Jesus performed when He said "It is I; be not afraid" occurred during a storm while He was walking on water toward His disciples, who were in a boat. The disciples were terrified, thinking He was a ghost, but Jesus reassured them with His presence and words. This event demonstrated His authority over nature and His ability to bring peace amidst fear.
When Jesus told the disciples to go back out on the sea and let down their nets, they initially hesitated because they had fished all night without catching anything. However, following His instruction, they cast their nets again and miraculously caught a large number of fish, so many that their nets began to break. This event not only demonstrated Jesus' miraculous power but also led to the disciples' recognition of His authority and their decision to follow Him as His disciples.
Before his baptism, Jesus did not have formally identified disciples. The Gospels suggest that he began to gather followers after his baptism by John the Baptist, when he started his public ministry. However, there were individuals, such as John the Baptist's own disciples, who recognized Jesus' significance before his baptism. The formal calling of his disciples, as recorded in the Gospels, occurs after this event.
In the Bible, Jesus is described as walking on water in the Gospel accounts of Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, and John 6:16-21. This miraculous event demonstrated Jesus's power over nature and his ability to inspire faith in his disciples.
When Peter and the other disciples let down their nets as Jesus directed, they caught a huge number of fish, causing their nets to break. This event showed the disciples the power and authority of Jesus and led Peter to recognize Jesus as Lord, prompting him to leave everything and follow Jesus.
Jesus calms the storm: Jesus and his disciples were on a boat when a fierce storm arose. Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves, calming the sea. This display of power showed the disciples Jesus's authority over nature. Feeding of the 5,000: Jesus miraculously fed a large crowd of 5,000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish. This event demonstrated Jesus's compassion for the hungry and his ability to provide abundantly even in times of scarcity. Walking on water: Jesus walked on water to meet his disciples who were in a boat struggling against the waves. Peter also briefly walked on water towards Jesus before losing faith and sinking. This miracle reinforced Jesus's divine nature and the importance of faith in following Him.
AnswerIn the popular paintings of this religious event, Jesus Christ is in the middle amongst 11 disciples. In actuality, Judas was not present after betraying Jesus, so two figures at the table would have had to share the middle spot since there were exactly 12 figures on that night in history.
Jerusalem is famous for being a holy city and the site of major events in Jesus Christ's life. One event is the Last Supper with Jesus and his disciples.
Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers whom the disciples knew without question to be Moses and Elijah. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah. Yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. The transfiguration did nothing to help the disciples. In fact, scholars say that the biblical events associated with Moses and Elijah never really happened, so it is unlikely they ever existed. Mark had a strong motive for creating the story of this event since, with no resurrection appearances in the original Gospel, it is this episode that provided the best evidence that Mark could offer, of divine support for Jesus.
The original New Testament account of the transfiguration is in Mark chapter 9. Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed and his garments became shining and as white as snow. The disciples saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. Mark's Gospel does not say in what way his appearance changed, but Matthew added that his face shone like the sun. The disciples somehow knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah and offered to build three tabernacles, one each for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah. Yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
