The Twelve Disciples

The Twelve Disciples, also called apostles, were a group of Jesus Christ’s closest followers who traveled with him, learned from his teachings, and helped spread his message. They were chosen by Jesus to be leaders and witnesses of his life, death, and resurrection. Each disciple had unique backgrounds, such as fishermen or tax collectors, reflecting diverse walks of life. Their role was foundational in establishing early Christianity, and they are remembered for their dedication and efforts to share Jesus’s teachings beyond his immediate circle. The Twelve Disciples are central figures in Christian history and scripture.
