In Mark, Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Mark chapter 3 has Jesus formally choose the twelve from those who followed him.
In Matthew, Jesus once again saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Matthew has Jesus call Matthew the tax-collector.
In Luke, Jesus met Simon Peter in his mother's house, but did not call him at that stage. Later, he helped some fishermen in a boat - James and John, sons of Zebedee, and Simon. Jesus told Simon that he would follow Jesus, so the three left their boat and followed Jesus. It was some time later that Jesus actually chose the remainder of his disciples, including Andrew, brother of Peter, but not necessarily in any order.
In John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. John told him and another disciple to follow Jesus. Later, Andrew fetched his brother Simon, who joined the other disciples. John does not mention all the disciples and provides least information as to when the author believed them to have been chosen.
The one gospel that clearly provides a characteristic common to the disciples as a whole is Mark's Gospel. In this, the twelve disciples are portrayed as lacking understanding, almost buffoons.The other gospels, particularly Luke, moved away from this critical portrait of the disciples.

Yes, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve disciples. However, Matthew (also known as Levi) was a different disciple who was already among the original twelve chosen by Jesus.
The possessive form of the plural noun disciples is disciples'.Example: His disciples' loyalty is remarkable.
Well, honey, there's no mention of any of Jesus' disciples being a lawyer. They were mostly fishermen, a tax collector, and other regular folks. But hey, who knows, maybe one of them had a law degree on the down-low. Jesus did like to shake things up, after all.
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.
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 twelve Apostles- Jesus of Nazareth had chosen, named, and trained in order to send them on a specific mission. For further reading a link to wiki is below.
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 order of disciples called by Jesus were known as the Twelve Apostles.
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.
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.
