Posts Tagged ‘James the Disciple’

The 12 Disciples were normally in the following order:

  1. Simon (Peter)
  2. Andrew (Peter’s Brother)
  3. James (the greater)
  4. John (James’ Brother)
  5. Philip
  6. Bartholomew (Nathanael)
  7. Thomas (Didymus)
  8. Matthew (Levi)
  9. James (the less)
  10. Thaddaeus (Judas)
  11. Simon (the Canaanite)
  12. Judas Iscariot (the traitor)

Today we will cover three disciples. The first isĀ James, the less. It is not known if James was called less because of his size, his age, or social standing. Also I will cover the life and ministry of Thaddaeus, who was also named Judas and the disciple Simon, who was a Zealot.

This is the history of the 3rd of the first group I call the ‘most known’ disciples of Jesus Christ. None of the disciples were qualified, but the were Chosen to carry out the Gospel. It is a shame that almost everyone can recite Santa’s reindeer, but cannot name those called to be the Twelve Apostles. Enjoy the teaching of James.
