Jesus did not choose the disciples because they were rich or pure or anything like that. He choose the 12 to follow him and learn about the wisdom and salvation of god.
The reason he didn't choose someone rich or holy, is because that would be like a doctor choosing 12 healthy patients and saying "now I will cure your nonexistent sickness" Pointless, right?
Instead he choose regular, everyday tax collectors and fishermen and said "let me heal you so you can learn to heal others."
Jesus came to help those who were sinners so that they may find comfort and peace in the kingdom of God.
You can follow him like the disciples did by helping the widowed and orphaned just like Jesus. The 'qualifications' are not that huge. You just have to love one another and be willing to change parts of your life so that God can work through you to help others.
12 Disciples of Jesus
trying fine the 12 disciples of jesus in the bible
Yes, it is true that the 12 disciples of Jesus were Jewish.
How many disciples?There were 12 disciples. Judas betrayed Christ, and was replaced by Mathias.
The 12 disciples were not prophets.
The 12 disciples were allowed to take only a staff for their journey.
The bible is true you idiots!
There is no clear historical evidence to definitively confirm whether the 12 disciples had wives or not. The Bible does not explicitly mention the marital status of all the disciples.
They are usually called the Apostles, but they are also referred to as the 12 Disciples. It's better to always include the 12 (with both Apostles and Disciples), both for clarity and also because Christ had many, many disciples.
Jesus had 12 Disciples
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.
The event that demonstrated to the 12 disciples that Jesus was the Messiah was his resurrection from the dead.
