Bible Question: Looking for scriptures pertaining to the apostles spending their time in God's service |
Bible Answer: Hi Gomez, Welcome to the forum. If you read through Acts 1-15 and notice how often the ministry of all the Apostles is referred to you will probably get a surprise. You will discover that they were extremely busy. But a life of the Apostles was not Luke's purpose(in spite of the title). Paul's letters were mainly concerned with the churches that he had evangelised. Any reference to the other Apostles is brief. Thus the New Testament does not tend to deal wih the activities of the other Apostles outside Acts 1-15. For that inormation we have to go to tradition, and that is not really reliable, although possibly containing a grain of truth. Thomas's ministry in India appears to be evidenced by traditions within that country, but not the detail. Best wishes |
