JESUS CHOOSES
HIS 12 APOSTLES

[Red Badger]

RE: #23

Matthew 10:2-4

The names of the twelve apostles are these:

first, Simon, who is called Peter,
and Andrew his brother;
James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother;
Philip and
Bartholomew;
Thomas and
Matthew the tax collector;
James the son of Alphaeus, and
Thaddaeus;
Simon the Zealot, and
Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him

Another beautiful post. Thank you Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I believe I had that, just below image #15.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tribute to the Twelve, on whom we shall expend four more days.

[Red Badger]

Yes, I saw that, but #23 the artist lists Luke and Mark as being of the original Apostles. They were during Paul’s time. It’s a common mistake, when asked people usually respond, “ Well, there’s Matthew, Mark, Luke and John......................

I saw that used on a TV detective show once a long time ago, where the person asking the question was testing the person asked to see if he was a real priest.................

Good Morning Dan, and midweek greetings to all.
Tissot loved this topic, and all of his are beautiful:

#8 Tissot
#12 Hole
#15 Tiffany (stunning glass)

Best ‘gathering place’ on Free Republic! Thank You Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, that lineup is a Fractured Fairy Tale. I have no idea what that artist was doing, but then neither did he.........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Happy to oblige, Leon. And I NEVER turn down a Tiffany.

[Red Badger]

👍.........................

Huh, I wonder...I only see 11 in Tissot's #14.
Is he leaving out Judas (symbolically)?

Same in the Tiffany - I only count 11...

[etabeta]

Best representations: Poussin, Tissot, Rane, Hole and a beautiful Tiffany. In #24, who was the disciple who was skinned alive? Horrendous suffering...

[Hebrews 11:6]

That was my assumption. I’m doing the Twelve during the next three days, and I omitted Judas entirely, in his stead substituting Matthias.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Bartholomew (Nathanael) was flayed alive, allowed to suffer, then beheaded.

We’ll be meeting and living with him.

yeah that last one (24) is sobering

[Hebrews 11:6]

that last one (24) is sobering

That's why it appears last.

I've read accounts of their martyrdoms: Foxe's Book of Martyrs, of course, and William Steuart McBirnie's The Search for the Twelve Apostles.
