Twelve Apostles Flashcards

About this deck
The twelve apostles were the men Jesus chose to follow Him closely, witness His miracles and resurrection, and carry the gospel to the world. The lists in Matthew 10, Mark 3, Luke 6, and Acts 1 give us their names, with a few variations (Bartholomew is likely Nathanael; Thaddaeus is also called Lebbaeus or Jude). These flashcards put a face — well, a fact — to each of the Twelve, so you can recall not just the names but the stories. Excellent for Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, and anyone wanting to know the men who first carried Christ's name into all the world.
How to study these flashcards

- Note which apostles wrote books of the New Testament.
- Pair Peter, James, and John as Jesus' inner circle.
- Discuss why Judas Iscariot was replaced (Acts 1:15-26).
