    Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, please, help :

    Apart from the words "your master is eating with the publicans" , is there anywhere in the FOUR (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN) , Where we have a recorded or documented conversation between the twelve (12) disciples and the people around them? Or Do we have any recorded conversation between the twelve (12) disciples and the people around them just within the four (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN)?

    Interesting question. Most excellent Theopholis in Luke 1:1-4 apparently addressed someone as a nobleman as to who the book was written to. The man who couldn't have demons cast out in Mark 9:29 addressed whichever disciples had a failed attempt to cast it out. The conversation when Jesus said you will see a man with an colt tied up and to ask his permission was recorded in Luke 19:30-34. Matthew 17:24-25 definitely shows Peter having a conversation with the tax collector. Then there is the verse in Luke 18:39 which could refer to the Disciples complaining or telling someone to be quiet; and similar references where they were mentioned to be trying to stop someone who was also doing healings and the like in Luke 9:50.

    It seems most things were not too edifying that the disciples tried to do to interfere with what people were doing in Christ's presence. Sad commentary; but again before Pentacost many things were hidden from them. It seems there is no named individual who was mentioned; even with Christ until the trial immediately preceeding His death. We do see; however John the Baptist and his interaction which eventuallly caused him to be martyred. There were clearly interactions necessary to procure the healing of Peter's mother in law; and for Christ to give the Apostle John the care of His mother at His death.

    I'll look it up in a bit, but all of the disciples were together when Mary Magdalene went to tell them that Jesus wasn't in the Tomb.

    Another time when they were in the Upper Room still hiding, when Jesus appeared physically to the 11;

    when Thomas returned and saw Jesus too. Jesus bade him to put his finger in His side where the soldier pierced Him with a spear.

    They were all together on Pentecost with 120 people in the Upper Room when the Holy Spirit appeared in a rushing wind, tongues of fire; and baptized everyone in the room. Also, there were women present too.

    So excited we're they, they spilled out in the street (no longer fearful) and the townspeople witnessed this event; and experienced the power of the Holy Spirit.

    God is no respecter of persons. He will come to anyone who asks, and then Receives the Promise.

    Later, Jesus ate with the Disciples on the beach.

    Jesus is Risen and lives His life without the hearts of anyone who will ASK Him to come into their hearts.
