Apostles: Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, Judas (the traitor), Simon the Zealot, Matthew (the tax collector), James (the other one), Phillip ... And then there was Matthias, chosen by the Eleven to replace Judas the traitor ... and Paul, formerly Saul, who got knocked off his horse and onto his “donkey”, and “saw the light”.

So I’m missing two ... bummer.

Temptations:

He was tempted to turn stones into bread (Man shall not live by bread alone), to take a flying leap off the Temple (do not put The Lord your God to the test), and to subject himself to the devil in exchange for earthly power (you shall worship only the Lord your God, Him alone shall you adore).

Nathanael and Thaddeus have awarded you a solid “A”. Well done!

"Guilty, as charged."

Had completely forgotten about it, as you say--although adding Him as a 15th in such a quiz would have seemed unfair even if I had remembered. Still, you would have gotten it!

Musing further:

Jesus is the very definition of an Apostle, "someone sent". No one else could be sent as He was.

But, of course, He is so much more. Calling Him "apostle" is akin to calling Babe Ruth an outfielder, Michael Jordan a shooting guard, Billy Graham a motivational speaker...

Of course, you are right. I just was being a smart-aleck. Thanks for your great posts.
