Was Paul the 12th Apostle?

No. Paul is the 13th Apostle. There were 12 for the 12 tribes of Israel and Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles. Iudas the traitor was replaced with Matthias. Another Answer: No. Paul is not an Apostle. There were 12 for the 12 tribes of Israel. Peter (Acts 15:7) was the Apostle to the Gentiles, not Paul. Judas the traitor was replaced with Matthias. Matthias met the 11 Apostles requirements of having been with Jesus from the beginning until the end of his earthly ministry. There are only 12 Apostles mentioned in the Book of Revelation Chapter 21. Another View: No, Paul was especially called by God to be the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' Acts 9:15-16New International Version (NIV) 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." The number 12 commonly represents 'new beginnings or organizations.' Consider the 12 months of the year; the 12 sons of Jacob called the 12 Tribes of Israel; and the 12 Apostles. When Judas betrayed Christ and soon after committed suicide, he was replaced by lot with Matthias. Many of Paul's opening greetings state or refer to his special calling to be an Apostle: Romans 1:1New International Version (NIV) 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God- Comment: Peter was especially called by God as Apostle to the Gentiles and God confirmed this with a vision to Peter of a sheet of unclean and clean animals raised and lowered 3 times. God/Jesus always confirmed Peter in 3s (Denial 3 times before cock crowed, Peter do you love me? 3 times, vision of sheet with animals 3 times.). Peter went on to win Cornelius and his household, then Peter went on to win other Gentiles.

What are major events in Mark's Gospel?

A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written and the events in this gospel can most easily be viewed and compared within the framework structure that the author developed the gospel around. This structure is a parallel sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another set of events that mirrors the first, using context and association for emphasis and to develop themes that would not otherwise be apparent, as can shown in the following summary: A John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8) B The baptism of Jesus (1:9) C The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11) D The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13) E The people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22) F Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26) G Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy Jesus (3:6) H Demons, whenever they see Jesus, fall down and say that he is the Son of God. Jesus commands that they tell no one of this (3:11-12) I Jesus calls the 12 disciples (3:13-19) J Jesus rejects his own family: he has a new family, his followers (3:31-35) K Jesus rebukes the wind (4:36-41) L The demoniac, wearing no clothes (5:15), cries out that Jesus not torment him and Jesus sends out the demons (5:1-20) M Jesus comes into his own country (6:1)- Where he was brought up N The people misunderstand Jesus and he can do no mighty work (6:2-6) O Jesus sends out the disciples and curses those who will not receive them (6:7-11)- in sending the disciples with authority and expecting all to receive them, Jesus is asserting his own authority P Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14) Q Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29) R Feeding the thousands, and related miracles and discourses (6:33-8:21) S Who do people say that I am (8:27) T Peter affirms faith in Jesus as the Christ (8:29) U Whosoever shall be ashamed of me: of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed (8:38) V The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and scribes (8:31a) W Be killed and after three days rise again (8:31b) X Prophecy of second coming (9:1) - Jesus tells the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power. B' The Transfiguration of Jesus (9:2-3) C' The voice of God from heaven, "This is my beloved son" (9:7) D' Jesus talks to Elijah and Moses then to the disciples about Elijah (9:4-13) E' A great multitude was amazed at Jesus (9:15) F' Jesus cast out a dumb spirit (9:17-27) G' They shall kill the Son of man and he shall rise on the third day (9:31) H' Jesus clarifies his divine status, saying that he is not God: "Why call me good? There is none good but God" (10:18) I' Peter says the disciples have left all and followed Jesus (10:28) J' Those who have left their family for Jesus have a new family: all Jesus' followers (10:29-30) K' Jesus rebukes the 'sons of thunder', James and John (10:35-45 - cf 3:17) L' Blind Bartimaeus cries out for mercy and casts off his clothes, then Jesus heals him (10:46-52) M' Jesus comes into Jerusalem (11:1-10)- Where he will die N' Jesus misunderstands the fig tree that can provide no fruit (11:13-14) O' Jesus casts out them that sold and bought in the Temple and curses them for making the Temple a den of thieves (11:15-17)- Jesus is asserting his authority P' Jesus asks whether the baptism of John is from heaven or of men, and the priests, scribes and elders can not answer (11:30-33) Q' Parable of husbandmen who conspire to kill the vineyard owner's son (12:1-9) X' Prophecy of second coming (chapter 13) - on clouds of glory, within the lifetimes of some of those to whom he was speaking R' The Last Supper (14:17-25) S' Art thou the Christ, Son of God (14:61) T' Peter denies Jesus three times (14:66-72a) U' And when he thought thereon, Peter wept (14:72b) V' The chief priests, elders and scribes delivered Jesus to Pontius Pilate (15:1) - Delivering Jesus is a similar concept to rejecting him.- Both parts of the pair involve chief priests, elders and scribes W' Jesus dies and on the third day rises again (15:37, 16:6) A' The young man explains the departure of Jesus(16:6-8)In the above table, event R includes the feeding of the five thousand, the feeding of the four thousand, walking on water and the Greek woman seeking help for her daughter, because they are closely related narratives with at least ten references or allusions to food and an underlying theme of the disciples not understanding. The references or allusions to food are:Jesus and the disciples had no leisure so much as to eat, so they went into a desert placeFeeding the 5000When Jesus walked on water the disciples were amazed, for they considered not the miracle of the loavesPharisees complain about the disciples eating with unwashed handsDiscourse - what goes into a man goes into his belly and does not defileGreek woman metaphorically begs for crumbs from the tableFeeding the 4000Disciples are hungry and have only one loaf of breadJesus warns the disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and they reason, "It is because we have no bread," showing they do not understandSummary by Jesus of the two feasts, asking again, "Why is it that ye do not understand?"From this we can see that the issue in the story of Jesus walking on water is not that he walked on water, but that the disciples were amazed that he did so, for they considered not the miracle of the loaves. This, then, looks backwards to the feeding of the five thousand and forwards to Jesus asking again, "Why is it that ye do not understand?" This one miracle creates a dramatic sense of the disciples not understanding even the greatest of miracles, so leading forward, along with the remainder of event R, to the Last Supper and the failure to understand what Jesus says.The events of the last twenty four hours in the life of Jesus are covered in eight intervals of just three hours each. This provides a greater level of detail for these crucial events:We start with the celebration of the Passover Feast, which becomes the Last Supper. It began "when it was evening" (Mark 14:17), or when the sun went down: approximately 6 pm. Mark knew that the duration of the Passover meal was three hours and that it concluded with the singing of a hymn, so the first thing Jesus did was to sing a hymn with his disciples. Then Mark says, "And when they had sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives". It was about 9 p.m.Mark then has Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus went to pray. He suffered alone and in agony, asking God that, if possible, he take this cup (his destiny to be crucified) away from Jesus. Meanwhile his disciples, Peter, James and John, were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. It was now midnight.The betrayal of Jesus, the darkest deed in human history, came next, occurring at the stroke of midnight.At 3:00 a.m., Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders. It was on the basis of his messianic claim that he was judged to be worthy of death. The watch of the night between 3 am and 6 am was called cockcrow. Peter's threefold denial of Jesus, once each hour until the cock crowed, marked the end of that phase of the night. That makes it 6 am."As soon as it was morning", which would be 6 am, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders to Pontius Pilate for judgement."It was the third hour when they crucified him," that is, 9 o'clock.When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight. After three hours of darkness, at 3 p.m., Jesus cried out and gave up the ghost. He has suffered alone and in agony, just as in the Garden of Gethsemene, and his last words reflect anguish at the failure of his prayer in the Garden, when he asked if it were possible that this fate be taken from him: "My God. My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?".Joseph of Arimathea then asked Pilate for the body of Jesus, so that he could be buried before the Sabbath began. Jesus was buried in the final period from 3 to 6 pm, before the sun went down.The resurrection appearances of Jesus are also major events in the version of Mark used today, but the gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 (event A' in the framework chiastic structure), when the young man explained the departure of Jesus and the women fled in terror, telling no one.


How does the number 3 mean perfection when Peter denied Jesus 3 times?

No, the number three does not exactly mean perfection in this situation, but there is larger meaning of the number three, that applies to the last twenty four hours of the life of Jesus, which is is broken up into eight segments, each of exactly three hours. Peter's three denials help create that pattern:Mark begins the period "when it was evening" (14:17). In this ancient world that meant when the sun went down, or approximately 6 pm.Mark knew that the duration of the Passover meal was three hours and that it concluded with the singing of a hymn. So at the end of his segment he noted, "And when they had sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives". It was obviously about 9 p.m.Mark then has Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where his closest disciples, Peter, James and John, were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. It was now midnight.The act of betrayal, the darkest deed in human history, came next, occurring at the stroke of midnight.Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders. This governing body then judged him, on the basis of his messianic claim, to be worthy of death. It was 3:00 a.m.The watch of the night between 3 am and 6 am was called cockcrow. Mark now inserted his account of Peter's threefold denial of Jesus, once each hour until the cock crowed, marking the end of that phase of the night. That makes it 6 am."As soon as it was morning", which would be 6 am, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders to Pontius Pilate for judgement.Mark told his readers once again that this drama has been shaped liturgically, saying, " It was the third hour," or 9 am "when they crucified him".When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight.After three hours of darkness, Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" At 3 pm, Jesus gave up the ghost. Jesus was buried in the final period from 3 to 6 pm, before the sun went down. That brings us to 6 pm on Friday evening, reflecting the beginning of the passion on 6 pm on Thursday evening.The evangelists who followed Mark appear not to have been aware of Mark's intentions and, while following his text reasonably closely, spoilt the literary perfection of Mark's account.


If Jesus died at 3pm what is the significance of 3AM?

if 3pm is the time of Jesus' death, Jesus being the son, or messanger for god, it would make sense that 3am would be the time for demons, 3am is the exact opposite to 3pm. and demons are the messangers for Satan, the exact opposite to Jesus. its all about opposites:) that's what I think:) You are correct in almost all of that. The thing to add is that at 3am is also when Satan appeared to Chirst in the Garden the morning of good Friday. It was then 12 hours later that he commended his spirit to the Father. 3am has become known by exorcist as the bewitching hour. When demonic activity is at its highest


What is the basic framework of Mark's Gospel?

Mark's Gospel was written in Greek Koine approximately 70 CE by an anonymous author and was attributed by the Church Fathers to the author whose name the Gospel now bears, later in the second century. This is the shortest and earliest gospel, and is now known to have been the principal source of material about the life and mission of Jesus for the authors of Matthew and Luke.Mark is written in an rough, ungrammatical style, but shows evidence of having been written by someone of considerable literary ability. It has been suggested that the ungrammatical style was intentional, to appeal to adherents of limited reading ability, to disguise the identity of the author, or even that it had a literary purpose.Mark originally ended at 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled, telling no one. In this gospel, there was no resurrection appearance of Jesus. Verses 16:9-25 form what is now known as the "Long Ending" (there was also, at one stage, a "Short Ending") and were added to the Gospel at a later stage, to provide resurrection appearances and to more or less harmonise it with the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.This book has a remarkably sophisticated framework - perhaps too well structured to be entirely credible. The book as a whole consists of a parallel structure, a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another, parallel set of events that mirrors the first, as seen in the following table:A . John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8)B .The baptism of Jesus (1:9)C . The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11)D . The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13)E . The people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22)F . Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26)G . Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy Jesus (3:6)H . Demons, whenever they see Jesus, fall down and say that he is the Son of God.-- Jesus commands that they tell no one of this (3:11-12)I .. Jesus calls the 12 disciples (3:13-19)J .. Jesus rejects his own family: he has a new family, his followers (3:31-35)K . Jesus rebukes the wind (4:36-41)L . The demoniac, wearing no clothes (5:15), cries out that Jesus not torment him and Jesus sends out the demons (5:1-20)M . Jesus comes into his own country (6:1)-- Where he was brought upN . The people misunderstand Jesus and he can do no mighty work (6:2-6)O . Jesus sends out the disciples and curses those who will not receive them (6:7-11)-- in sending the disciples with authority and expecting all to receive them, Jesus is asserting his own authorityP . Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14)Q . Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29)R . Feeding the thousands, and related miracles and discourses (6:33-8:21)S . Who do people say that I am (8:27)T . Peter affirms faith in Jesus as the Christ (8:29)U . Whosoever shall be ashamed of me: of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed (8:38)V . The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and scribes (8:31a)W . Be killed and after three days rise again (8:31b)X .

Those who have left their family for Jesus have a new family: all Jesus' followers (10:29-30)K'.

For example, Mark organises the first narrative account of the death of Jesus in a twenty-four hour cycle, neatly divided into eight three-hour segments. That makes the story of the crucifixion begin to look less and less like history and more and more like liturgy.Mark started the story "when it was evening" (14:17). In this ancient world without electricity, that would mean when the sun went down, or approximately 6 pm.Mark knew that the duration of the Passover meal was three hours and that it concluded with the singing of a hymn. So at the end of his segment he noted, "And when they had sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives". It was obviously about 9 p.m.Mark then has Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where his closest disciples, Peter, James and John, were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. It was now midnight.The act of betrayal, the darkest deed in human history, came next, occurring at the stroke of midnight.Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders. This governing body then judged him, on the basis of his messianic claim, to be worthy of death. It was 3:00 a.m.The watch of the night between 3 am and 6 am was called cockcrow. Mark now inserted his account of Peter's threefold denial of Jesus, once each hour until the cock crowed, marking the end of that phase of the night. That makes it 6 am. This looks back to the Garden of Gethsemene, when the disciples slept three times, and forward to the last words of Jesus, when Jesus realised that God had also forsaken him."As soon as it was morning", which would be 6 am, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders to Pontius Pilate for judgement.Mark told his readers once again that this drama has been shaped liturgically, saying, " It was the third hour," or 9 am "when they crucified him".When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), as if on cue, darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight.After three hours of darkness, Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" At 3 pm, Jesus gave up the ghost.Jesus was buried in the final period from 3 to 6 pm, before the sun went down. That brings us to 6 pm on Friday evening. The holy sabbath had arrived.
