- 1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “ Take nothing for the journey —no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set...

Shortly after John baptized Him and just before He announced the good news of the Kingdom of God, Jesus acquired six men as traveling companions. Simon and Andrew were brothers and partners in a fishing venture with brothers James348 and John. Philip and Nathanael son of Tolmai (i.e., Bartholemew) were good friends. Some time later, brothers Matthe...
The Beginning
John’s Gospel takes us closer to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry than the other Gospels. John’s beginning shows Jesus still in the presence of John the Baptist, and we can assume that either Jesus had just been baptized or that He had returned from His wilderness temptation. Either way, we get a glimpse of the very beginning: Again the next day John was standing there with two of his disciples. Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” When his two disciples heard hi...
A Return to Fishing
It would seem that sometime after the wedding at Cana, Simon, Andrew, and John returned home and resumed their fishing. This is not an unreasonable supposition. They had work to do, and their vacation was over. Consequently, we read in Mathew’s Gospel about a second encounter: As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen). He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishe...
Actually the only other member of the twelve for which we have any details is Matthew, or Levi as he is also called. This is made more interesting by the fact that all three of the Synoptic Gospels record the event. Here is Luke’s account: And after that He went out, and noticed a tax-gatherer named Levi, sitting in the tax office, and He said to h...
Out of hundreds of disciples, Jesus one day chose twelve to receive intensive training. Except for picking pairs based on family and friendship, we do not know what criteria He used. All we know is that He prayed all night before announcing His decision: It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in p...
Tuition
Salvation is free. Along with salvation comes a plethora of continuing education courses that help us lead quiet and peaceful lives. These courses are also free. The Master’s Discipleship program is different. The tuition, which requires payment on the installment plan, is quite steep as these passages show: Now large crowds were accompanying Jesus, and turning to them he said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters,...
Core Curriculum
The core curriculum of the twelve disciples was that which was open to all the disciples. What an extraordinary opportunity the men and women who followed Jesus had! The one thing they had which we will never have is His physical presence. We have His words, but they had His body language. They had His tone of voice. They saw the full context of His words. We have the writings, but they had the speaker. What a great gift! They had His teaching and marveled at the authority that He had. Jesus...
Servant Leadership
Luke records this event during the Passover before Jesus’ arrest: A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest (Luke 22:24). By this we know that the twelve discussed and disputed rank among themselves up to the very day of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. Being in the inner circle can go to one’s head. Those years that they spent alongside Jesus were full of the expectation of an emerging Kingdom. Jesus would sit on His throne in glory, and they would...
First, Theophilus should understand that Jesus knew and loved the law from an early age, and that in the very city where he was lynched 20 years later, he was approved at the age of 12. Or perhaps he wasn't approved.
Jesus' instructions are given to teach, to train the Twelve. And they were effective: "'When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?' 'Nothing,' they answered" (Luke 22:35). Without a purse, you learn to rely on the Lord to fund what he desires.
Jul 16, 2021 · Jesus called the Twelve to be “with him” (Mark 3:14), to learn from his teaching and company, so that they would be qualified thereby “for the mission of continuing his mission.” Luke offers a mission-framed understanding of Jesus’s appointment of the Twelve as apostles (Luke 6:13).

May 12, 2004 · A careful examination of the evidence pertaining to the number “twelve” in the Hebrew Bible and in ancient Jewish sources suggests that Jesus chose the Twelve to evoke the twin themes of covenant renewal (a Joshua theme) and eschatological restoration (with the reunification of the twelve tribes implied).
The Training of the Twelve covers the historical period beginning with Jesus’ association with the early disciples and ending with the disciples waiting for the promised Holy Spirit. There are a total of 53 chapters detailing how He selected and prepared these men to “come before the world as leaders in a great movement.”
