Was any of the disciples a lawyer that Jesus chose?

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.


What did the disciples do when Jesus was arrested?

A:The disciples seem to have disappeared, with Peter playing a short cameo role to deny Jesus three times before his trial before the Sanhedrin. According to the synoptic gospels, not one of them was present at the crucifixion. Matthew and Mark are quite clear in that only women watched, even from afar off. Only John moves some of the women to the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and allows Jesus to make arrangements for the care of his mother. It is this interesting contrast to the role of Joseph of Arimathea that caused some scholars to notice that Arimathea could mean 'Best disciple town' in Greek, a play on words (originating in Mark's Gospel) because of the failure of the other disciples.

Why is it that there no women disciples?

I am sure there were many women disciples of Jesus. A disciple is someone who has been taught or trained in some way and Jesus did not restrict his teaching to men only.But there were no women among the 12 disciples. The twelve were the ones Jesus chose to be the leaders of the new Christians after He had gone. They received special training and teaching from Him to do this work.Probably He chose men because it was relevant to Jewish society at that time.

What would have happened if Peter had not gone to the tomb of Jesus?

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.

Technically, no. The 12 disciples were all men. However, Jesus was unlike any other rabbi at the time. He allowed women to follow him. It is theorized that Mary was a disciple, but she was never called this in the biblical texts.
