Judas Iscariot was the son of Simon who lived in Kerioth of Judah. He is known as the traitor because he betrayed Jesus with a kiss to the hands of the enemy for thirty pieces of silver and hanged himself afterward.
Jesus knew Judas was going to betray Him before he even did it. He was a covetous man seeking to be recognized by the Governor. Jude was also known as Thaddeus or lebbeus, and was a brother of James the son of Alpheus. He lived in Galilee, and little regarding him was known. He preached the gospel in many places, including the Euphrates river, healed many, and many others believed in the name of the master. He went on to preach the gospel and was killed with arrows at Ararat.
Matthew was also known as Levi and was the son of Alpheus who lived in Capernaum. He was a tax collector, in the Jewish culture they were hated for being very unjust but still Jesus saw the potential in him and chose him.
He wrote the Gospel of Matthew and also was the first man to write the teaching of Jesus in Hebrew language and laid down his life for the faith of the master. After Judas Iscariot had committed suicide, Matthias was selected to replace him. There is nowhere in the Bible that records that Matthias was with Jesus throughout his ministry. Another one under consideration Joseph or Barabbas but lots were cast, and Matthias was chosen. He was a married man Mk who frequently took his wife along with him on his missionary travels 1 Cor When Jesus began his Galilean ministry, Peter, with Andrew his brother, became the first of the disciples to be called into full-time service.
In all the lists of the twelve, Peter is mentioned first, which probably indicates that he was considered the leader in the absence of Jesus. And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Nevertheless, Peter was only human, and there were times when he stumbled. It is this very human and fallible side to his nature which endears him to many people.
Outside in the courtyard, Peter was accused of being with Jesus three times, and each time he denied that he even knew him. This occurred only hours after the Last Supper, where Peter had insisted that he would die rather than deny his Lord. After Jesus had ascended to heaven, however, Peter seemed fearless as he traveled the country preaching the Gospel.
On one occasion, when he was arrested for performing a miracle of healing, he was brought before the high priest and the elders for questioning. While in Joppa, Peter also had a vision which at first he did not understand, but which proved to be a major turning point in the direction of the church. Peter understood his vision to be an instruction from God telling him that he must now take the Gospel to non-Jewish people.
Up until this point, Christianity was still a Jewish sect, and the Gospel had only been preached among the Jews. In about 44 A. Not much is known of Peter from this time. It is thought that he labored in Rome about the time that Paul was imprisoned there in 66 A.
With the church coming to be centered more and more around Ephesus in the middle of the first century, it is probable that he spent time there and in the other churches of Asia Minor to whom his epistles are addressed. According to tradition, Peter fled from Rome in about 67 A. As he was journeying away from the city on the Appian Way, he had a vision of Jesus. Jesus replied that he was going to Jerusalem to be crucified again.

Finally, Andrew is seen praying with the Twelve in Jerusalem after the Ascension. The New Testament tells us no more about him. The family was apparently quite affluent. It was possible to make a good profit by salting the fish and transporting it to inland towns, and this is probably where their wealth came from. Certain passages in the Bible have raised the possibility that James and John might have been cousins of Jesus, but this cannot be verified.
James was called to full-time ministry together with John, and immediately following fellow fishermen Peter and Andrew. This is often thought of as an arrogant and selfish request, and the other disciples were indignant when they heard it, but their motivation might have been sincere.
James was the first of the apostles to be martyred, and the only one whose death is mentioned in the New Testament. Brother of James. Later, he became one of the four Gospel writers. He is the only apostle to have died a natural death, passing peacefully in his old age around the year A. Less is known about Saint James the Lesser except that he was one of the oldest apostles. At the age of 94, he was beaten and stoned by persecutors, and then was killed from a blow to the head with a club.
