HAD Jesus called his disciples before he cured his mother-in-law?
The mother-in-law was Peter Simon's mother-in-law. Jesus was not married. Jesus had called some of His disciples but perhaps not all. The Gospels are not exactly chronological. They do follow close but we are not sure about some of the events and there order. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Matthew is not called until after Peter's mother-in-law is healed. Did it happen that way? Perhaps
What were some things about Thomas the deciple of Jesus?
Thomas, also known as Doubting Thomas, was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is known for initially doubting Jesus' resurrection until he saw and touched his wounds. Thomas is also known for his bold statement, "My Lord and my God," upon seeing Jesus.
Where did Jesus go after saying goodbye to his disciples?
A:Matthew's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, instructing them to go forth and teach all nations. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that he would be with them always. Luke's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near Bethany on the evening of his resurrection, and was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel: Jesus said goodbye to the disciples near the Sea of Galilee. The gospel does not say where Jesus went, but that the beloved disciple (commonly assumed to be John) would live until his return. The reference to Jesus' return suggests that Jesus went up to heaven. We can not say why Jesus did not return within the lifetime of the beloved disciple as promised.Mark's Gospel: This originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In this gospel, Jesus did not say goodbye to the disciples. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later, largely based on Luke's Gospel, and says that Jesus was taken up into heaven.Acts of the Apostles: Written by the same author as Luke's Gospel but some time later, this also says that Jesus was taken bodily up into heaven, but this time near Mount Olivet and rather long after the resurrection.
When did Jesus disciples receive the holy spirit?
In John 20:17, on Resurrection morning, Jesus had Mary go and tell the disciples He was returning to the Father. That night, He appeared to them in the Upper Room and invested them with the Holy Spirit. (John 20:22) During the day He had been to Heaven and returned. I believe He was sprinkling His blood on the altar in Heaven in His final act of atonement as our High Priest (Hebr. 9:11-12) . During the next 40 days He taught them about God's Kingdom. Then, as He was leaving Earth, He told them to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them in power. (Acts 1:8) This was a special manifestation of the Holy Spirit that resulted in the birth of the Church, but the Holy Spirit had dwelt within them since the night of the Resurrection.
Why did Jesus tell his disciples not to tell others of what they had seen at the Transfiguration?
Mark 9:9 - Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no onethe things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.Jesus didn't command them not to tell anyone what they had seen; He commanded them not to tell anyone YET. It was quite common for Jesus to teach his "inner circle" something that they were not to proclaim until later; after either His resurrection or ascension.John 16:4 - But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.It's also quite easy to understand why Jesus sometimes told people to remain silent about His miracles; sensationalism could actually hinder His ministry, so He occasionally took steps to avoid it. There's nothing "strange" about it. It was simply a matter of prudence.[Quotes from NKJV]
Who was the traitor for Jesus?
Judas Iscariot was one of his 12 disciples until he betrayed Jesus.
Why were the apostles grouped together in a room after the death and resurrection of Jesus?
Jesus and the disciples returned to Jerusalem one last time together. There they may have met in the upper room where they had shared Passover and where Jesus had instituted the Lord's Supper. He told the disciples to wait until they had been clothed with power from on high, until the Holy Ghost came upon them--the gift Jesus promised just prior to His death.
Where dis the disciples wait and pray for the gift of the Holy Spirit?
Luke 24:49 - "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." [NKJV]
Was joh the baptist one of Jesus first disciples?
No. John the baptist was Jesus' cousin but he was never one of Jesus' disciples. John continued calling people to repentance until his imprisonment and death which are early on in the gospel accounts.
When did Jesus command his disciples to be silent?
Jesus told his disciples on a couple of occasions to tell no man of what they had seen - as in - Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. (Matthew 16.20) And - And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. (Matthew 17.9)
Who did Jesus say he would send to the disciples?
The Holy Spirit.John 15:26 - "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me."John 16:7 - "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."Luke 24:49 - "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."[NKJV]
How are the Pentecost in the great commission linked?
Pentecost was the event that empowered the disciples of Jesus to carry out the great commission. Luke 24:44-49 records Jesus' meeting with his disciples after his resurrection. Here he connected the things that had happened to him, namely his suffering, death, and resurrection, with the greater plan of "repentance and forgiveness of sins ... to be proclaimed in his name to all nations..." (v. 47) that was being given to the disciples. He added that the disciples would be "clothed with power" as promised by the Father in order to carry out their purpose. He told them to wait in the city until they had been "clothed with power from on high" (v. 49b) They would only be able to carry out the great commission by this power. As an analogy: if the disciples were robots programmed with the great commission, Pentecost was when God but their batteries in and gave them the power to do it!
Who did Jesus said would not taste death?
Jesus was speaking to his disciples. (Matthew 16:24) Then Jesus said to his disciples. (Matthew 16:28) Truly I say to YOU that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."
What did the disciples do to show they cared for Jesus?
Jesus' disciples were His companions for three years, accompanying Him throughout His ministry. After they had witnessed the Resurrection, the disciples bore witness to what they had seen and knew - that Jesus was indeed risen from the dead and God's son. They preached this message until the end of their lives, endured persecution in His name, and wrote a record of what they had seen and heard. These writings became part of the New Testament.
Why did Jesus not want his followers to leave Jerusalem?
A:In Matthew's Gospel (28:7,16), the risen Jesus told the disciples to go to faraway Galilee. He met them there and gave them the Great Commission to preach his gospel. As a way of saying goodbye, Jesus said he will be with them always.In Mark's Gospel (16:7), the women are also given the message to go to Galilee.In Luke's Gospel (24:49), Jesus told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. He then took them out to Bethany, where he ascended into heaven. The command to remain in Jerusalem is repeated in Acts of the Apostles (1:4), by the same author.In John's Gospel, there is no suggestion of a command either to remain in Jerusalem or go to Galilee. In fact, the disciples very quickly went to Galilee, where Jesus found them fishing on the Sea of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee).So, it is only in two accounts by the same author, Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, that we find Jesus not wanting his followers to leave Jerusalem. By remaining together, they were able to receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
Did Jesus say 'you are a Christian'?
No. The term "Christian" wasn't coined until after Jesus' ascension and the establishment of the church (Acts 11:26). Jesus called those who believed in Him "My disciples" (John 8:31 and others).
