WHO WERE THE 12 CLOSEST FRIENDS OF JESUS DURING HIS LIFE ON EARTH
There were many people who followed Jesus Christ during his life on Earth. Of these followers, the twelve apostles were His most dedicated disciples and friends.
Following Christ’s ascension, eleven of them (Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus and killed himself and was replaced by Mattias) followed the Great Commission and became the primary teachers of the Gospel. But have you ever wondered what exactly happened to them? Here’s the meaning behind each of the Twelve Apostles’ names, how they died, and where their remains can be found today.
JOHN
Brother of James. Later, he became one of the four Gospel writers. John is derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan which means ‘Yahweh is gracious’. He is the only apostle to have died a natural death, passing peacefully in his old age around the year 100 A.D. in Patmos, Greece. His remains can be found in the Basilica of Saint John in Ephesus, Turkey.
