Where were all twelve of Jesus' original disciples chosen?
All twelve of Jesus’ original disciples were chosen within the borders of then-known Palestine. Not one was selected from Gentile territory, and all were commissioned while Jesus was in His earthly ministry within Israel’s borders. This contrasts with Saul, later Paul, who would go primarily to the Gentiles.
Les teaches that the map shows Gaza to the south, and as Saul makes his way up to Damascus, just a little north and east of the Sea of Galilee, the amazing thing is that all twelve of the original disciples were chosen within the borders of then-known Palestine. Not a one was chosen from Gentile territory. They were all commissioned while Jesus was in His earthly ministry within the borders of Israel. Saul, later Paul, is unique because he was a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin, a Pharisee of the Pharisees, and also a Roman by birth and citizenship. He becomes Paul and goes primarily to the Gentiles.
