During the time that Jesus and the disciples were in Jerusalem Rome was occupying the area and feared an insurgence in the area. Any indication that a leader was becoming stronger made the Romans scared. If Jesus was going to raise up against Rome all those associated with him would be caught and exterminated. It turns out that over time the disciples were martyred.
Judas, not Iscariot, was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is also known as Thaddeus or Lebbaeus. Judas played a minor role in the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, as he asked Jesus during the Last Supper why he would reveal himself to the disciples and not to the world.
False: Jesus did not do this.
There were a total of 12 disciples in all, and Jesus was not counted among them at all.
The disciples did not understand in John 14:15-31, when Jesus was explaining to them of His departure and His sending them the Holy Spirit of God who would live within them.
Jesus told the disciples that he would send the Holy spirit , to comfort the disciples once he is no longer on earth.
According to Jesus the holy spirit would help the disciples and comfort them.
There are a few books after the gospels that talk about what the disciples did after Jesus' death, but I would suggest Acts, in the New Testament.
The term 'disciple' means more than just a follower of Jesus. It means, 'imitator' or one who carefully and as closely as possible, follows the example of Jesus' life. Jesus had 12 specially and personally trained disciples He called Apostles. The Book of Acts indicates that there were only 120 disciples who were closely following Jesus. These would spread His message of the coming Kingdom of God on Earth. It is quite difficult to be a true Christian in this world.
Christianity is the worship of Jesus Christ. Development of Christianity would have started with the disciples when they become aware and believed that Jesus was the Son of God.
In fact, Peter only went to the tomb of Jesus in Luke and John, which are interdependent gospels. In Matthew, Jesus told the women to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them. Peter did not go to the tomb. In the "Long Ending" to Mark, the women told the disciples that Jesus had risen, but they did not believe. None of the disciples went to the tomb.
jesus had many friends mainly his disciples but he also had family friends that he would hand around with.
No Jesus did not make a mistake in choosing the twelve disciples. He knew exactly who to chose and what their actions, good or bad would be. Jesus did not and does not make mistakes. He is the Son of the living God.
