1 | Act 8 1 to 5, Apostle(s) | NT general | homeflash | 225326 | ||
Act 8 - verse 1-5 First of all, it mentions about "they" scattered except "the apostles". 1. Who are they? "Disciples?" 2. Why the apostles stay in Jerusalem? 3. In verse 5, Philip, I believe he is one of the seven decons, not one of the 12 twelve disciples of Jesus, correct? 4. If he is one of the apostles, why did he go to Samaria? 5. Who go down to Samaria or/and Judea besides Philip? (are they apostles or disciples?) 5. I got confused a little with apostles and disciples... from ver 1 to 25, who are they? Peter and John are disciples or apostles? |

Hi homeflash, welcome to you. Let us start at the end of your question, because it is tough to answer too many questions at once. If you were to know the difference, that may help clear up a few other questions. "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." ( Act 11:26) Disciple is from the English word for discipline, but translated from the Greek word, Mathetes, which means: a learner, a pupil, or disciple. We can all be Disciples by choice, but we are unable to become apostles by our own will. The word Apostle first appears in the first verse of Romans, in the words of Paul, " a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle..." The first and second letters to the Corinthians, along with Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians and others start out in like manner. Paul introduces himself as an Apostle, which is a transliteration of the Greek word, Apostolos, and this means, 'a delegate, messenger, as one sent forth with orders, and is specifically applied to the twelve Apostles of Christ, but in a broader sense is applied to some of the foremost Christian teachers. Can one be a deacon as well as an Apostle? Can one be both an Apostle and a Disciple? I think these questions could be answered Yes, and your question seems to necessarily eliminate one from the other. Son |
