Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus choose twelve apostles specifically?+

The number twelve is significant in the Bible because it represents God's people (like the twelve tribes of Israel). By choosing twelve apostles, Jesus was symbolically creating a new foundation for his followers and the church that would continue after his resurrection.

What happened to the apostles after Jesus went to heaven?+

The apostles stayed in Jerusalem and began preaching about Jesus to others. They were filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and became leaders of the early church. Most of them traveled to different places to spread the Gospel, and many faced persecution for their faith in Jesus.

Did all twelve apostles write books in the Bible?+

No, not all the apostles wrote biblical books. Peter, John, James, and Judas (author of Jude) wrote epistles or letters. Matthew and John wrote Gospels. The other apostles' teachings were preserved through the oral tradition and the accounts written by others, but they did not write their own biblical books.
