  • The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip
    f The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip: The Apostle Who Was Slow-Witted Simon the Canaanite: The Apostle Who Was A Revolutionist Text: John 1:43-45. John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Introduction: Philip is always listed as the fifth person in the list of the Apostles. While he may have not been as prominent as the first four men listed; nevertheless, he seems to be the head of the second grouping of the disciples. We must remember that God is of no respecter of persons so, Philip is not to be considered to be of less importance. Although Philip is mentioned in the four complete lists of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13), it is interesting to observe that John is the only writer to tell us all that is to be said about Philip, yet he is the only one out of the four evangelists who does not quote the list. The first three evangelists give us his name and acquaint us with the fact that he was an apostle, but John loses sight of the dignity of the office that Philip filled and gives us a profile of the man himself with his own individualities and peculiarities.

  • The Fate of the Apostles What Happened to the 12 Disciples and Other Key Leaders of the Early Church? PETER (Aka SIMON Or CEPHAS)
    The Fate of the Apostles What happened to the 12 Disciples and other key leaders of the early church? PETER (aka SIMON or CEPHAS) • A fisherman from Galilee before meeting Jesus • Lived in Capernaum • Bold and Brash • Walked on water with Jesus • Denied knowing Jesus 3 times after his arrest • Went on to preach the Gospel boldly, winning 3000 converts in a day (Acts 2:40-41) PETER’S DEATH • Early church tradition says that Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero around 64 AD • The 2 nd Century apocryphal book Acts of Peter says Peter was crucified upside-down • The altar of the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome is said to be directly over the spot of Peter’s crucifixion Andrew, Brother of Peter • A disciple of John the Baptist who later followed Jesus (John 1:35-42) • Origen wrote that Andrew went on to preach the Gospel in Scythia (Central Eurasia) • The Chronicle of Nestor adds that he preached along the Black Sea and as far north as Kiev • By tradition, he established the See of Byzantium, installing Stachys as its first Bishop • Crucified in the City of Patras in Greece • Tied to a Latin Cross, but later sources claim it was an X-shaped “St. Andrew’s Cross” Matthew (a/k/a Levi) • Tax collector from Capernaum in Galilee • After Jesus’ ascension, Matthew preached to the Jews in Judea, then went on to other countries • Early Muslim sources say he preached in “Aethiopia” (at the Southern end of the Caspian Sea) • Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches hold to the tradition that Matthew died a martyr’s death.

  • Paul Or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12Th Apostle?
    Paul or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12 th Apostle? Ep.1113 – February 17, 2020 Paul or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12th Apostle? Contradiction Series Acts 1:21-22: (NASB) 21 Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us 22 …one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection. For every Christian, Jesus is THE example, leader and fulfiller of our faith. We continually gain inspiration from his perfect example and unselfish sacrifice. When we think about a less- than-perfect Christian example, most of us go to the Apostle Peter or the Apostle Paul. Both men showed us how to achieve spiritual victory through imperfection. They both had failures, they both had regrets, they both had doubts, and yet they were faithful. These challenges endear them to our hearts and give us courage to work through our own imperfect experiences. Knowing this, it can be hard to believe there are many who see the Apostle Paul as an interloper, one who hijacked the gospel message. These accusations begin with disregarding the authenticity of Paul’s apostleship. They say Matthias, as a replacement for Judas, was appointed as the 12th Apostle long before Paul’s conversion. We started our four-part series on contradictions with things Paul said or did that require a second look: Ep.1111: Does the Apostle Paul Contradict Himself? (Part I) Ep.1112: Does the Apostle Paul Contradict Himself? (Part II) This podcast is a special foundational program.

  • Meet the Disciples Here’S a Synopsis of the Information the Bible Gives Us About the 12 Disciples
    In a scene from the television series “The Chosen,” Jesus (left) meets brothers Andrew (center) and Simon. Meet the disciples Here’s a synopsis of the information the Bible gives us about the 12 disciples. The more you know about them, the more you can relate to their experiences as they followed Jesus. If you’re interested in an extremely creative (and yet biblical) look at the disciples, discover The Chosen television series. The first season is available on YouTube, with more information available at studios.vidangel.com/the-chosen. Simon, called Peter. The only married disciple, at least esus went up on a mountainside according to what we know from the Gospels. His mother-in-law and called to him those he wanted, was healed by Jesus (Mark 1:30). At Caesarea Philippi (Matthew J 16:13ff), Jesus gave Simon the name Peter, which means “Rock.” and they came to him. He appointed It was here that Jesus also referred to Simon as a “son of Jonah,” twelve that they might be with him and in a less complimentary moment, as “Satan!” See Matthew and that he might send them out to 16:23 for the context. The Gospel of Mark is generally thought preach and to have authority to drive to be Mark’s written record of the eye-witness account of Simon out demons. These are the twelve Peter. Simon’s betrayal of Jesus was second only to that of Judas Iscariot. Unlike Judas, Simon lived through the weekend and he appointed: Simon (to whom he was eventually restored into full fellowship (John 21).

  • Simon the Zealot
    Simon the Zealot Simon Zelotes, the eleventh apostle, was chosen by Simon Peter. He was an able man of good ancestry and lived with his family at Capernaum. He was twenty-eight years old when he became attached to the apostles. He was a fiery agitator and was also a man who spoke much without thinking. He had been a merchant in Capernaum before he turned his entire attention to the patriotic organization of the Zealots. Simon Zelotes was given charge of the diversions and relaxation of the apostolic group, and he was a very efficient organizer of the play life and recreational activities of the twelve. Simon's strength was his inspirational loyalty. When the apostles found a man or woman who floundered in indecision about entering the kingdom, they would send for Simon. It usually required only about fifteen minutes for this enthusiastic advocate of salvation through faith in God to settle all doubts and remove all indecision, to see a new soul born into the "liberty of faith and the joy of salvation." Simon's great weakness was his material-mindedness. He could not quickly change himself from a Jewish nationalist to a spiritually minded internationalist. Four years was too short a time in which to make such an intellectual and emotional transformation, but Jesus was always patient with him. The one thing about Jesus which Simon so much admired was the Master's calmness, his assurance, poise, and inexplicable composure. Although Simon was a rabid revolutionist, a fearless firebrand of agitation, he gradually subdued his fiery nature until he became a powerful and effective preacher of "Peace on earth and good will among men." Simon was a great debater; he did like to argue.

  • Faith Fact Saints Simon and Jude Feast Day October 28
    Faith Fact Saints Simon and Jude Feast Day October 28 How do you feel when you are chosen to do something important? Honored, surprised, nervous? Some of the Apostles must have felt as you do. After spending much time in prayer, Jesus decided to choose 12 men, 12 rather unlikely candidates, who would be his Apostles and proclaim the Kingdom of God to all people. Simon the Zealot was one who was called. The Zealots were a Jewish group who believed that the promise of the Messiah meant a free and independent Jewish nation where they would never have to pay taxes to the Romans again. Some Zealots were also very concerned that the spiritual ideals of their religion be kept. But others in the group acted more like modern-day terrorists by raiding, killing, and inciting riots. Simon was known as “the zealot” to distinguish him from Simon Peter. At the same time, Jesus called Jude Thaddeus, brother of James, most likely a fisherman by trade. Along with 10 other men, these two followed Jesus, lived with him, fled when he underwent his Passion, and rejoiced when he rose from the dead. At Pentecost, they were filled with the Spirit and a burning desire to spread the Good News to all. Jude traveled to Mesopotamia to preach, and Simon went to Egypt. Eventually they both ended up in Persia, modern-day Iran. There they worked together evangelizing the people until they were both martyred. These two unlikely candidates for apostleship finally witnessed to the risen Lord with their lives.

  • Judas Iscariot
    Judas Iscariot ‘The names of the twelve apostles are these; Simon who is called Peter, Andrew his brother, James and John the sons of Zebedee, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Him’ (Matthew 10:2 to 4). ‘Jesus called His disciples and from them He chose twelve whom He named apostles; Simon whom He renamed Peter, Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, Judas (Thaddaeus) son of James and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor’ (Luke 6:13 to 16). The first mention of Judas Iscariot makes it clear to all, he was a traitor. Judas and the other eleven apostles had more opportunity to accept Jesus and the salvation message than any other group on earth, at any time on earth. They learned a tremendous amount about the Messiah, what He came for, angels, the Kingdom of heaven, the evil side of the spirit world and our authority over them, and a host of other things but Judas never truly accepted Jesus or the salvation message. ‘He was numbered with us (apostles) and received his portion in this ministry’ (Acts 1:17). Jesus is God and as God, He knew Judas was never going to accept Him, He knew Judas was going to betray Him and would be paid thirty pieces of silver for his trouble, and He knew that betrayal would lead to His arrest and death, but Jesus chose Judas as an apostle anyway.
