Jobs of the 12 Disciples

Ang 12 Alagad ni Hesus at ang kanilang hanapbuhay

The jobs of the 12 disciples have always been a topic of deliberation over time. The 12 alagad ni Hesus are a set of selected elites in the Bible and the Scriptures also made us understand that the 12 disciples of Jesus represented the 12 tribes in Israel.

One would think that these men would be extraordinary men with mighty abilities at their birth, but the reverse is the case. 

These disciples got their fame by being with Jesus and doing ministry work with Him. Let’s take a look at the jobs of the 12 disciples and what were their occupations and the family they came from. 

Sino ang 12 Mga Disipulo ni Jesus at ano ang ginawa ni Job?

According to the Bible, when Jesus was starting His ministry, he hand-picked 12 disciples to work with him. Let us learn their names, the families they come from, and what they did for a living before Jesus’ call;

Si Pedro

Si Pedro, anak ni Jonas at tinawag din na Simon Peter o Cephas (nangangahulugang bato), ang pinuno atpinaka-matalinong alagad ni Jesus. Ang kanyang impluwensya sa mga alagad at sa unang iglesya ay napakadakila na ang kanyang pangalan ang pinakapabanggit sa labindalawang disipulo sa Bagong Tipan. Si Apostol Pedro ay isa sa mga disipulo na gumugugol ng pinakamaraming oras kasama si Jesus; mas katulad ng isang panloob na bilog.

Peter has two books to his name (1st and 2nd Peter). He died as a martyr just like Jesus, but in his case, he requested they turn him upside down as a show of respect for Jesus. Peter was the only married disciple.

Peter’s source of livelihood before he answered the call to become a disciple was fishing. Jesus met him while he was fishing. 

James the Greater

James, son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother to John was another member of the inner circle of Jesus. Because of this closeness, he experienced special events such as the transfiguration on Mount Tabor and the miracle of raising Jairo’s daughter from the dead. 

Si James ang unang taong na-martyr.King Herod beheaded him. 

Si James ay isang mangingisda sa pamamagitan ng propesyon, siya rin ay isang tagapag-empleyo ng paggawa sa kanyang panahon.

John

Like James, his elder brother, John was also a son of Zebedee and Salome and the third member of Jesus’ inner circle. John has four books (1st, 2nd, and 3rd John and Revelation) in the Bible to his name. 

Siya lamang ang alagad ni Jesus namamatay ng natural na kamatayan, bagaman mayroong isang pagsubok sa kanyang buhay. Sinabi sa kasaysayan na si John ay hindi mapagparaya at nagkaroon nghindi mapigil ang init ng ulo.

Tulad nina James at Peter, si John ay isang mangingisda din.

Bartholomew

Si Bartholomew, na kilala rin bilang Nathaniel, ay ipinanganak sa Talmai. Ang kanyang ama ay nanirahan sa Cana sa Galilea. Ang kanyang ama ay noong panahong hari sa Geshur. Sa kanyang unang pakikipagtagpo kay Jesus, tinawag siya ni Jesus na isang tuwirang Israelite.

Si Bartholomew ay namatay bilang isang martir matapos na mabugbog, ipako sa krus, at pugutan ng ulo. Bago ang kanyang kapus-palad na kamatayan, siya ay isangdiligent researcher of the Scriptures. Ang kanyang trabaho ay hindi alam, ngunit maaaring siya ay isang mangingisda mula noong kasama niya sina Andrew, James, at John nang magpakita sa kanila si Jesus pagkatapos ng kanyang pagkabuhay na mag-uli.

Phillip

Si Phillip na taga-Bethesda, ang unang alagad na tumanggap ng tawag mula kay Jesus, ayisang mahusay na ebanghelista ng ebanghelyo. We see this in his forwardness to talk about Jesus to Nathaniel. As a symbol of respect for Jesus, he requested that his body be wrapped in papyrus instead of linen. 

Like most of the fold, we believe Phillip to be a fisher. Scholars also say Phillip that he was a man with a mainit na puso at isang pesimistikong pagkatao. Ang kanyang kamatayan ay sa pamamagitan ng pagbigti.

Thomas Didymus

Thomas is one who lived in Galilee. Another name they called him was Didymus. He was first mentioned in the Scriptures for his doubting when he was told about Jesus, hence the name “doubting Thomas”. A diligent study of the gospel shows that although he could be a pessimist, he was devoted to the gospel and full of faith.

Jude

Jude, also known as Judas or Thaddeus, is the elder brother to James, and also a son of Alpheus. He once asked Jesus and from research, Jude believed in the ruling of the world by the chosen people.

Jude has quite a silent story in the bible, though he has a chapter in the New Testament the Bible. Jude died from the binaril siya ng mga arrowsa Ararat.

Walang nabanggit na paglalarawan sa trabaho ni Jude.

Simon 

Simon the Zealot was a disciple of Jesus who originated in Canaan. The only information available about Simon is that he was a zealot. Zealots were a Jewish fanatic sect who had little belief in the struggles and suffering accompanied by the Christian faith. 

Sa background ni Simon, masasabi nating ang kanyang paglalarawan sa trabaho ay may hilig sa politika. Namatay siya bilang martir.

Si Mateo

Matthew, also known as Levi as a son to Alpheus, was a controversial disciple of Jesus. His means of earning made him one of the controversial disciples of Jesus. Matthew, who lived in Capernaum died in Ethiopia at the hands of King Hyrcanus by a spear.

Ang trabaho ni Mateo bago ang tawag ni Hesus ay bilang isang maniningil ng buwis. Ang mga maniningil ng buwis ay ang pinaka-kinamumuhian na hanay ng mga tao sa mga panahong iyon, dahil hindi sila patas. Gayunpaman natagpuan siya ni Jesus na karapat-dapat sa kurso ng ebanghelyo. Mayroon siyang isang buong libro sa Bagong Tipan sa kanyang pangalan.

James the Less

James the Less is a son of Alpheus and a younger brother to Jude. Like his brother Jude, he also lived in Galilee. Scholars believe he is the writer of the book of James in the Bible.

Sinabi din nila na siya ay isang lalaking may kasamang afiery and strong character.

Ang kanyang katawan aygabas sa pirasopagkamatay niya.

Walang malinaw na paglalarawan sa trabahong kanyang kinita.

Si Hudas Iskariote

Si Judas Iscariote, na anak ni Simon, ay tumira sa Kerioth ng Juda. Siya ay isang tanyag na pangalan sa ebanghelyo ni Hesus dahil ipinagkanulo niya si Hesus ng tatlumpung pirasong pilak sa pamamagitan ng isang halik. Bagaman walang bakas kung paano natanggap ni Hudas ang tawag, binigyan niya ng tatlong taon ang pagsunod kay Jesus.

Judas served as the treasurer during Jesus’ ministry on Earth. The weight of his betrayal was heavy on his shoulder to the point he killed himself. 

Ang pagkamatay ni Judas Iscariot ay nagdala ng bakante, at kailangan ng kapalit. At pinili nila si Matthias pagkatapos magripa sa pagitan nila ni Jose o Barabbas. Matapos ang appointment kasama si Matthias, kaunti o walang nabanggit sa kanya. Sinabi ng mga istoryador na nabuhay siya hanggang 80 AD

Conclusion The Jobs of the 12 Disciples

Who are the 12 disciples and what were their occupations? The Lord Jesus had many followers during His earthly ministry, and many more have chosen to do so in the centuries following. As Jesus began to obtain followers, He selected twelve to follow Him in a closer way, who received personal teachings and explanations. He called them personally to Him.

The Bible provides no information on the professions of Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Thaddaeus, or James, the son of Alphaeus. It does provide information about Paul, who became an apostle after the death and resurrection of Jesus. He was a Pharisee and may have taught religion or worked in political office. During his missionary journeys, Paul supported himself as a tentmaker according to Acts 18:1; Acts 18:2; Acts 18:3.
