The Twelve Apostles (Early Disciples Of Jesus)


The Gospel of John does not offer a formal list of apostles, although it refers to "the twelve" in a single scene (John 6:67-71). However, the gospel does not present any elaboration of who "the twelve" actually were. There is also no separation of "apostles" and "disciples" in John. Only the following disciples are mentioned:
  • Peter
  • Andrew (identified as Peter's brother)
  • "the sons of Zebedee" (presumably meaning John and James, although they are not named)
  • Philip
  • Nathanael
  • Thomas (also called Didymus)[11:16] [20:24] [21:2]
  • Judas Iscariot
  • "Judas (not Iscariot)"[14:22](probably Thaddeus/Jude)

Find the man in the coffee beans

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!
And, yes, the man is really there!!!
