God will use any person, despite his background, is Simon. The Bible says nothing about his calling, but one will find that he was in the upper room with the rest of the disciples after Jesus' death. What does this say about his character? He desired to be with those who loved Jesus. When he is listed as one in the upper room, a very significant word is added to the end of his name. That important word is Zelotes, or Zealot. In Jesus' day, Zealots were fanatics who tried to take the law into their
He probably was a spy for the Pharisees and reported everything the master said directly back to the High Priest. Being with the guards only proved what Simon believed, therefore, he determined that Malchus would be his first target. The captain of the guard raised his hand preparing to signal the attack. At his command, the armed troop had instructions to weigh in and spare no one, armed or not. The High
The process of Hellenization refers to when the Romans imposed their culture and language onto all of the Roman Empire, or the lands once conquered by the Romans. Interestingly enough, there wasn't too much evidence of anything "Roman" about hellenization and that is due to the fact that when Rome took over Greece, they adopted a lot of their cultural practices including, but not limited to religion and philosophy. Truly, the Romans were imposing their version of Greek culture onto everyone they
In the book Masada the Last Fortress, Eleazar ben Ya’ir, leader of the Zealots (rebellious Jews), gives a moving speech to the Jews. The speech was to persuade the Jews to not live the rest of their lives in slavery to the Romans but to die by their own hands. In these moments left us, let us choose a noble end, preserving our freedom and maintaining our personal dignity. Since we must die, let it be by our own hands. It will be easier to bear. Let our wives die unabused, our children without knowledge
The first disciples were called whilst they were working. They all worked as fisherman in Galilee. There were four of them and they were Simon and his brother Andrew and James and his brother John, sons of Zebedee. All of the men were normal, ordinary every day people and were just going about their everyday lives when they were called to be disciples. Simon and his brother Andrew were the first to be called, they were catching fish with a net when Jesus approached them and said "come with me
necessity. The Zealots of the smartphone industry have created an unprecedented sense of urgency to for its Congregation to acquire the latest trend of smartphone technology.

servant doesn’t mean being weak. He represented this by being a servant to his disciples. He was a team builder and also a relationship builder. For example, Jesus managed to get Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot who was a Jewish nationalist to work together, even though Simon strongly believed that paying taxes was against his views. Jesus is able to step up when the time calls for it. When Peter’s mother had “a great fever” (Luke 4:38), Jesus goes directly to her and heals her.. As
them to be his followers. He called them disciples and this word means one who learns. But Jesus chose his disciples carefully as we are told in Mark 1:16-20 and also in Mark 3:13-19. In the first passage, Jesus appoints his first four disciples, Simon, Andrew, James and John. Jesus said to them “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17) In Mark 2:13-17, Jesus calls up the fifth disciple, Levi who was a tax collector, and Jesus later renamed him Matthew. But Levi was not called
and testified, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.” The painting shows all of the disciples, Bartholomew, James, Andrew, Judas, Peter, John, Thomas, James the greater, Philip, Matthew, Jude Thaddeus, and Simon the zealot, all which are surprised by the accusation that Jesus made onto them, as depicted by Leonardo Da Vinci. What is the most captivating about this painting is not what we know, but what we don’t know. In other words, it is the enigma of this painting
identifies himself as the "disciple who Jesus loved." In the gospel most of the disciples were mentioned by name and so can be eliminated as the author of the gospel. Those not mentioned included Mathew, James the less, Simon the Zealot, James, and John. James the less and Simon the Zealot were minor disciples and therefore not even in the running as the "disciple who Jesus loved." Mathew is associated with another gospel, which reads differently enough from the Gospel According to John to exclude him
the Israelite conquest of Canaan, led by Joshua, involving harassment and ambush of the enemy. Later Jewish resistance to foreign rule was expressed in the series of fierce guerrilla operations against the Romans in the 1st century AD; led by the Zealot sect, this revolt was climaxed by the seizure of Masada and the massacre of the Roman garrison there in AD66. Lacking the numerical strength and weapons to oppose a regular army in the field, guerrillas avoid pitched battles. Instead, they operate
care of us. The descriptive thought would obviously be the story of Jesus calling the 12 disciples. Their names are Peter, James (the son of Zebedee), John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James (the son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot. The focal
With Christianity being the number one universalizing religion, many are familiar with at the story of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Though they may not actually belong to the religion, many also celebrate the holidays of Christmas and Easter, both of which are extremely important days in the Christian religion. These two have been used for marketing seasonal goods to the United States in particular. Christmas is the time of extravagant spending for the gifts of children and loved ones, while Easter
Jesus’ life was told through the writings and tales of his apostles which are found in the New Testament in the Bible. His ideas were unconventional during the Jewish religious establishment. There is little knowledge of Jesus’ life from infancy until the age of thirty and the mystery in the years before Jesus taught, between the ages of twelve and thirty years old. Jesus publicly ministered for approximately three years before he was killed by his own people (the priests) mainly because he was
THE LAST SUPPER- LEONARDO DA VINCI (1497) “ The last Supper” is a fresco made by Leonardo Da Vinci at the end of the 15th Century. The dimensions of the fresco are enormous (460x880cm).

The time period portrayed is the Last Supper of Christ and his apostles, in Jerusalem, during the celebration of the Jewish Easter. This theme was really common during the 15th century

Although the Apostles did not all belong to a different tribe, the fact that there were 12 showed that there was an Apostle to represent each of the tribes. The Apostles all led very different lives before being called up by Jesus.
