The True Backgrounds of the Apostles
Excerpt from, Son of Man: Urantia, Chapter 18, pt. 1, “The Twelve Apostles”
Most of the apostles were well trained in the Hebrew scriptures and the current knowledge of that day, even though they were considered ignorant and unlearned by the Jewish priesthood. Jesus taught the apostles about the kingdom of heaven. And from his apostles, Jesus learned about humanity here and on the other worlds of time and space. Each of these men had different backgrounds and temperaments. They were not all alike because they had not been put through the same rigid and stereotyped education that people have today. Many of the Galilean fishermen carried Gentile blood because a hundred years before, the Jews had forcibly converted the people in Galilee.
