Was the brother of John one of the first disciples of Jesus?

Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.


How did Jesus meet Philip?

The Bible does not specifically say when they first met. We first hear of Philip and Jesus when he was called as a disciple but they may have met previously.John143The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."44Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote-Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."


Where did Jesus meet the disciples after the resurrection?

A:There are some different answers to this depending on the gospel relied on. The reason for this is that the first New Testament gospel to be written, now known as Mark's Gospel, originally ended at verse 16:8, with no appearances of the risen Jesus. When the authors of Matthew and Luke copied mark's Gospel, they had no guidance from Mark as to what happened next yet, working independent of each other, they both wanted to give their readers proof that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Because of a suggestion about Galilee earlier in Mark, Matthew has Jesus meet the disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he said farewell and sent them to all nations to teach the gospel. Luke has Jesus meet the eleven at a meal in the upper room, in Jerusalem, then he took them out on the road to Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, but the Johannine community appears to have been involved in a minor dispute with a community that followed St Thomas as its patron. In the corresponding meeting, Jesus first met only ten of the disciples (with Thomas absent) and breathed on them, saying (John 20:22), "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Not only did Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit (John's author was unaware of the account in Acts of the Apostles), but was shown to be a 'Doubting Thomas' when Jesus met all eleven disciples in the same room eight days later. After the two meetings in the upper room, Jesus met the disciples at the Sea of Galilee.The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) that we now have on Mark's Gospel more or less agrees with Luke and has Jesus meet the disciples at as meal in the upper room in Jerusalem.


Where did Jesus walk with some of his disciples after his resurrection?

A:In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus met the two women as they walked, but only met the disciples at a mountain in Galilee and from there sent them forth to teach all nations. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus walked with the two of them on the road to Emmaeus. Afterwards, he met the disciples at an evening meal then walked with them towards Bethany, where he ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection.In John's Gospel, Jesus met the disciples twice at a meal in Jerusalem, then by the Sea of Galilee. It does not seem that he walked any great distance with the disciples at all.Mark's Gospel is the interesting one. It was the first New Testament gospel and 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. So, originally Jesus did not even meet the disciples after his burial. The Long Ending was added much later, to add some much-needed resurrection appearances and to conform as closely as possible with Matthew and Luke. He appeared in another form to the "two of them" (Mark 16:12) and we can choose to understand the two either as the two women of Matthew or the two men of Luke. He then met the disciples at a meal, more or less in line with Luke but without the walk to Bethany and the ascension to heaven, and sent them forth to preach everywhere.
