I assumed this some years ago and was put straight by Judas. My theory as to why Jesus had 12 men as his disciples is that.
The Women Rushed Off To Tell The Disciples Jesus Was Alive But The Disciples Did Not Believe Them Peter And John Ran To Jesus Is Alive Disciple Jesus Luke 24
Why did Jesus only have 11 disciples.
Why did jesus have disciples. The disciples saw Jesus heal the sick and bring the dead to life. These facts convinced them to have faith in Jesus believing him to be the Son of God Matt 1616. At the ascension of Christ the eleven remaining apostles were given the same mission to spread gospel and make disciples of all nations Matthew 281820.
But only at the day of Pentecost did they fully believe in Jesus as Lord Acts 1117. But Jesus led his disciples to become spiritually mature disciples who were able to make more disciples. When there were only 11 Peter said that it was necessary to bring the number back to 12 Acts 122.

Disciples will always be dependent on God that is why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit when he left them. Peter James and John Jesus inner circle were instrumental in fulling that mission. Why did Jesus have disciples.
Jesus deliberately chose His twelve disciples and purposefully chose His inner circle as well. Jesus taught to and modeled for his disciples fully expecting them to reach the point that they could make disciples independently. The book of Acts and the subsequent history of the Church reveal that Jesus disciples did precisely that.
Through their witness and work the disciplesalso called apostles that is sent onesfearlessly preached the death and resurrection of Jesus heralded the arrival of a new way of living and performed mighty miracles to back up their claims. His disciples abandoned Him. Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
These facts convinced them to have faith in Jesus. But when it came time for Jesus to die for our sins He was alone. As they were just fishermen they learned the word of God from Jesus.

Study participants were treated to normalize thyroid function and then checked again to determine if the thyroid treatment had significantly improved their affected areas of sexual function.

The Bible says God doesnt play favorites. But have you ever wondered why. Why did Jesus chose only 12 disciples.
We know that Jesus died to make atonement for our sins. Why did Jesus have 12 disciples. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.
The main reason Jesus has had his 12 disciples was to be with him during his time with him. They saw him walk on water and calm a storm. For this reason it was so important for the 12 to be with Jesus continually learning from him as he equipped them to later bring his message to Israel and to the furthest reaches of the earth.
Peter was the third. Many who claimed to be His disciples rejected Him and left. Jesus was forming a new people of God and the 12 disciples represented the 12 tribes of Israel and for that reason they had to be 12 men.
Jesus did seem to have three favorite disciples and John was one of them. According to Jewish tradition a scholar of the Scriptures could be called a rabbi teacher if he had at least ten disciples. Lets look at the disciples for a demonstration.
Previously Jesus had not mentioned these events and certainly not in. Since the multitudes had turned away from their promised Messiah Jesus began a six-month period of private instruction with the Twelve those He would prepare for the time of this death resurrection and departure. The disciples saw Jesus heal the sick and bring the dead to life.
Jesus chose men to be leaders. There were many more. So why did Jesus play favorites with his disciples since John was one of his three favorites.
They saw him walk on water and calm a storm. To have twelve left no room for questions. Im not saying a woman cant be a leader of different groups but Jesus chose men to.
This newly established 12 tribes disciples will usher in the knowledge of God and His Son through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Messiah. Thirdly it was convenient for Jesus from the beginning to have at least ten disciples in order to be recognized as a rabbi.
