The Lord's Disciples

[Angee Licaa]

Come learn about Jesus' 12 apostles with me today.

The names of the twelve Apostles are as follows: 


1- Simon Peter (Peter). Apostle of humility. He was also known as Simon son of Jonah, and Jesus referred to him as the rock. He was a Galilee fisherman from Bethsaida. Has been crucified on his back. According to Catholic legend, he told the executioners that he did not feel worthy to die the same way his Master did. Fruits of the spirit wall art

2- Andrew (Andre). The apostle has a lot of friends. Peter's brother, a Bethsaida fisherman. After being beaten to death by seven soldiers, he was crucified on an X-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. To prolong his anguish, the people tied his body to the cross with cords. As he was led to the cross, his disciples said that he reverently venerated the cross and remarked, "I have longed and expected this hour of gladness." The body of Christ, which was hung on the cross, was hallowed." For two days, he continued to preach to the executioners until he was out of breath. 

3- The Great James (James the Great). High-ranking apostles. Zebedee's son and Saint John's brother. When Jesus asked him to be a disciple, he was a fisherman who dedicated his life to the evangelism mission. James, a bold Church leader, was beheaded in Jerusalem. The Roman soldier in charge of his protection was astounded to see the saint defend his religion in front of the court. This soldier afterwards accompanied James to the execution site. He confessed his new faith to the judge and knelt by Saint James to accept his beheading since he was a Christian, having been persuaded by his beliefs.

4- John (John). Love's apostle. Jesus refers to him as the Beloved Disciple since he is the son of Zebedee. During religious persecution in Rome, facing martyrdom while being fried in a kettle of hot oil. However, he was miraculously saved from death. John was sentenced to a prison camp on the island of Patmos, where he would labor as a miner. He authored the book of Revelation, which is full of prophesies, here. John was freed and returned to Turkey as Bishop of Edessa. He passed away due to old age. He was the sole apostle to pass away in peace.

5- Philip (Philippians). Practical evangelists. The Galileean man of Bethsaida was crucified. Jesus and lion canvas
