Who is is the mysterious hand in the painting of the last supper?

The Last Supper by Da Vinci, the list goes from left to right. Bartholomew, James the younger, Andrew, Judas, Peter, John, Jesus, Thomas, James (the brother of Jesus), Philip, Matthew, Thaddeus, Simon. Hope that helps.


Who was holding the knife in the last supper?

The Twelve Disciples attended the Passover meal with Jesus. Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholemew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon. Judas left after that earlier meal of that same day, so only 11 Disciples ate that last meal with Jesus. John 13:21-30 indicates that Judas departed before Jesus instituted the celebration of the Lord's Evening Meal.


What were the names of the people in the last supper?

The 12 Men were the 12 Disciples. The man seated next to Jesus depicted in the famous Last Supper painting is John (not John the Baptist) son of Zebedee, the author of the Book of John and the three Epistles of John. John and James (a/k/a James the Greater), son of Zebedee and another disciple, were brothers. Peter, who some consider to be Jesus' strongest follower because he would take immediate action on whatever Jesus requested and who had a brother named Andrew who was a disciple as well. Andrew previously alerted Peter of Christs' arrival. Matthew the author of the Book of Matthew; Philip (not much said about him); Bartholomew; James, son of Alphaeus (a/k/a James the Lesser), Thomas, the disciple who did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot (not Simon Peter) and Judas Iscariot (the betrayer of Jesus) Note: After Jesus' resurrection, Matthias was the replacement for Judas Iscariot since he had hung himself. Addition Well done the first answerer. May I just point out one unimportant thing and that is that even though the twelve were disciples they were in fact Apostles for each were ordained by Christ to the Prieshood thereby giving each the authority to go and preach the gosple.


What disciple refused to have his feet washed by Jesus?

John 13:6-9 - Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" [NKJV]


When did the word apostle end and the disciple start?

As I understand it, an apostle is one of the 12 chosen by Jesus including Peter, James, John, Thomas, etc.A disciple is any follower of Jesus.As a side note, other religious figures had disciples. For example, John the Baptist, St. Paul etc.
