How did Judas Iscariot meet Jesus?
The Bible does not specifically say how Judas Iscariot meet Jesus. He was one of the original twelve disciples and the only one to betray him.
Why did Jesus only have twelve disciples?
There were a total of 12 disciples in all, and Jesus was not counted among them at all.
Where did the original twelve disciples of Jesus came from?
That is not indicated in the Bible.Another answer:No. There is a figurative parallel between the 12 tribes and the 12 disciples, but they couldn't each have literally been from a different tribe, as there were at least two pairs of brothers (Peter & Andrew/James & John) among them.
Who was the only one of the original 12 disciples that did not die a premature death?
John.
Who of the original twelve disciples wrote books of the Bible?
Christian tradition attributes the Gospels of Matthew and John to two of the twelve disciples. Epistles are also attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter.Actually, none of the twelve disciples wrote any book that we see in the New Testament. The four gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed th the disciples whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Scholars say that these gospels were not written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. None of the epistles can be attributed to any of the disciples. In fact, Jude clearly identifies itself as a second-century book, while 2 Peter includes almost all of the material in Jude, proof that 2 Peter was also written during the second century. Scholars have looked closely at all these works to find evidence of the original disciples, but see nothing in the gospels or epistles that points back to any of the disciples.
Why did Jesus go to Galilee?
It is only in Matthew's Gospel (26:32) and Mark's Gospel (14:28) that Jesus tells the disciples that he will see them in Galilee. Again in Matthew's Gospel (28:10) the risen Jesus tells the women to tell the disciples that he will see them in Galilee. In Mark's Gospel (16:7), the young man inside the tomb repeats the message that Jesus had previously given the disciples, to meet him in Galilee. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus really did meet the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, just as he had told them he would. This is the one gospel that properly links Jesus' instruction to what happens later. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. This allows us to assume that Jesus might well have met the disciples there, even if the Gospel does not say so. However, the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was subsequently added, and this removes any possibility of Jesus planning to meet the disciples in Galilee, since it portrays him as meeting them at a meal in Jerusalem, where he gave them a parting message. It would not have made sense in Luke's Gospel for Jesus to say that he would meet the disciples in Galilee because, after his resurrection, he met them in Jerusalem and was then taken bodily up into heaven on the very evening of his resurrection. Again, in John's Gospel it would have made little sense for Jesus to say that he would meet the disciples in Galilee because he met them twice in Jerusalem, although he later did meet them in Galilee.
How big was the boat the disciples were in?
Small vessels operated on the Sea of Galilee but we have no description of them. Archaeologists have discovered ancient fishing boats in that area which measured nine meters in length, two and a half meters wide, and a little more than one meter high.
Do the twelve disciples of Jesus represent the twelve tribes of Israel?
Some who are sceptical about the gospels story say that the twelve disciples represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Some even go further and say that, in both cases, the twelve derives from the twelve star signs in the heavens.Answer 2If the question "represent" is intended as "come from", i.e. did each of Jesus' twelve disciples come from a different tribe, then the answer is: No. All of Jesus' followers were either Levites or Judahites. The other tribes were not represented.Answer/Maybe.According to the Epistle of Barnabas, who wrote: '.. to whom the Lord gave authority to preach his Gospel : being at the beginning twelve, to signify the tribes, because there were twelve tribes of Israel.' Note that the earliest known version of the Epistle of Barnabas is from the 4th century (~300 years after Barnabas walked the earth) and is only only ascribed to Barnabas by tradition so its authenticity is unknown.

Who were the disciples of Christianity?
A disciple is a person who is taught or trained in a particular doctrine. For example you could be a disciple of Freud. Jesus Christ's disciples were people He taught and trained. Or today a disciple can be someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. Additional Comment: The term 'disciple' means 'to imitate' someone. A disciple of Jesus then would lead a life as much as possible like Jesus did in the Gospel accounts. When fully repentant and baptized, he/she receives the promised Holy Spirit of God, aka of Jesus Christ, to be able to grow and accomplish the works God has laid out for them.
What religions did the twelve desciple form?

Why was Paul of Tarsus not chosen by Jesus of Nazareth as one of his disciples?
Paul was not in Galilee. Paul never met Jesus or vice versa. The Bible suggests Paul only came on the scene a year or two after the crucifixion.
