1. Each apostle represents a tribe? Interesting view, however, recall that only 11 of the first 12 survived. So was it really about the 12 tribes?

2.. Ever wondered why that was for women?

1. Yes, it was.

Judas was replaced Y'know, the apostles held a meeting and elected Matthias but if you seek my personal opinion on this matter I would say that Christ set aside someone for Judas' replacement.

He was a religious terrorist who later became "an apostle of grace". His name is Paul.

Paul was a lawyer and was going to become a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish Supreme Court of 71 men who ruled over Jewish life and religion. His CV pure

2. That matter go long bro, make we free am.

Kobojunkie:
The 12 were simply the first.... they didn't necessarily a more direct or closer.relationship to Jesus Christ than the rest. They were simply the first of the group.

They did.
In fact, they were so close, those who were out to get Jesus couldn’t tell him apart from his apostles.
Jesus Christ knew he couldn’t do his work alone, he knew he needed help, and so when his ministry began, he chose 12men and called each by their names.
He even knew their families. (Remember Peter’s mother-in-law)
They were particularly chosen for a purpose.

I live in the West... tell me about it. Such perversions are everywhere in the newspapers practically every day. All evil all the time... (sigh).

Sinudyne:
Just thinking about it. Why was there no woman among Jesus' disciples? What do you think?

Sinudyne:

You are 100% wrong. There were 12 disciples. Apostles are numerous. The 12 disciples are the direct followers of Jesus, who had direct and close relationship with him.

Sinudyne:

To me, Jesus just avoided their wahala.

Kobojunkie:
Those who were out to get Jesus Christ could not tell Him apart from His disciples? Where did you get this from?

Jesus Christ knew a lot of people and their families...He visited stayed over at the home of people who were not His apostles. He was close to a lot of the sinners since He came to call the sinners to God. Consider the story of Lazarus and His sisters. They were sinners who Jesus Christ helped and visited with. Lazarus was not an apostle and there is no evidence to suggest He became a follower of Jesus Christ even after His resurrection but He was loved by Jesus Christ.

Again, His apostles were the first chosen but the suggestion that He was closest to them does not sell much when you consider the stories in entirety. One would need to even go as far as defining close in this case. Are there things that Jesus Christ only did with His disciples, the 12, that He never did with His other apostles?

Mariangeles:
From Matt 26: 47-50

Even among his apostles, there were some he was closer to than the others. (Closer does not mean he loved them more though)

Remember when he took Peter, James, and John apart to the mountain where he was transfigured? After the experience they witnessed, he gave them instructions to tell no man of it until he was risen. Matt 17.
Peter later testified of that experience.
