Subject: Peter, James and John - pillars |
Bible Note: Who were Reputed to be Pillars Question: Why were only Peter, James and John (Mark 5:37) allowed to go with Jesus? Galatians 2:9 "and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised." (NASB) Perhaps Jesus calling these three to be present at the raising of Jairus's daughter (Mark 5:37), the Transfiguration (Mark 9:2) and Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-33), and subsequently appearing together in Acts 3:1, arrested together (Acts 4:13) and doing ministry together in Samaria (Acts 8:14) after Jesus was resurrected shows a prophecy (through example) of Jesus - that these three would be 'pillars' in His church. --Makarios |
